At least since the Industrial Revolution, gender roles have been in a state of transition. As a result, cultural scripts about marriage have undergone change. One of the more obvious (46) has occurred in the roles that women (47) . Women have moved into the world of work and have become adept at meeting expectations in that arena, (48) maintaining their family roles of nurturing and creating a(n) (49) that is a haven for all family members. (50) many women experience strain from trying to "do it all," they often enjoy the increased (51) that can result from playing multiple roles. As women’s roles have changed, changing expectations about men’s roles have become more (52) . Many men are relinquishing their major responsibility (53) the family provider. Probably the most significant change in men’s roles, however, is in the emotional (54) of family life. Men are increasingly (55) to meet the emotional needs of their families, (56) their wives. In fact, expectations about the emotional domain of marriage have become more significant for marriage in general.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the chil-dren happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interestedrather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for mak-ing people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of educa-tion. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness. The underlined word "sociable" in the passage most probably means being______.
A. fond of talking freely
B. friendly with other people
C. concerned about social welfare
D. happy at school
