Questions 11—13 are based on the effect on the nuclear family for women.The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together; in other words, they had an "extended family". Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The "nuclear family" consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Family structure in most parts of the world is still "patriarchal"; that is, the father is the head of the family and makes most of the important decisions. Studies show, however, that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life. Also, well-educated husbands and wives often prefer to share the power.But wives usually have to "pay" for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandmothers, and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone.Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Of course, this situation is changing. Women now work outside the home and have more freedom than they did in the past. Why are some women still discontentIn most parts of the world today, women work because the family needs more money. However, their outside jobs often give them less freedom, not more, because they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, one outside home and another inside, and not much free time.The nuclear family will probably continue to be the main family form of the future. Change, however, usually brings disadvantages along with benefits, and the family forms of the past had many advantages. What are some disadvantages of the nuclear family for women().

For me there has been only one Valentine’s Day worthy of the name. It vas when I was nine years old. And no Valentine’s Day since has even come close to measuring up.Her image had never left my mind，and sometime at about Valentine’s Day last year，the idea got stuck in my head: I needed to find Lori Lee.In 1972, for two years I have been in love with Lori Lee, an angelic creature who lives across the street. Our walk home from the bus stop each day is the highlight of my young life.The situation is complicated. First, Lori’s older brother，Ted, happens to be my best friend. Second, I am grotesquely bashful in Lori’s presence. In the company of friends I am a sparkling wit. With Loft, I communicate chiefly in grunts. And although she is always sweet to me，Lori’s heart does not appear to pound to the same desperate rhythm as my own.The whole thing comes to a head on Valentine’s Day. In class，children pass out cards and I get a generic "Be Mine!" from Lori and the other 26 pupils.On the walk home from the bus stop that day, however, Lori says, "I have something for you." I go numb. She pulls an oversized red envelope from her school bag, presses it into my hand and takes off running.I rush to my bedroom, carefully open the envelope and find the most beautiful handmade card of red poster paper, with a big white doily, shiny stars and all sorts of hearts. Inside, Lori has spelt out "I love you" in glue and covered the perfect cursive letters with glitter. After reading it 30 or 40 times, I hid the card under my socks.Lori and I might be married now for all I know — if not for one extenuating factor: my elder brother, Mike, who was 11-year-old. Pawing through the drawer the evening, he stumbled upon the envelope. He foolishly showed Lori’s card to Ted and some other children in the neighborhood. The commotion that ensued mortified Lori and me, and pretty much crushed any major developments in this early love.Then my father announced that we would be moving to Alaska. It seemed a rather severe place to be exiled from the summery smile of Lori Lee. I suggested that I stay behind and live in an orphanage. But in the end, there was little I could do.At school, Miss Lochhart organized goodbye party. All I could do was stare at Lori — who, for the first time since Valentine’s Day, stared back at me with great, liquid eyes.On the bus, Lori sat next to me and clasped my hand the entire way home. At my door, I searched for words to describe the terrific bursting in my chest."Well", I finally managed, "bye."She kissed me on the cheek and darted across the street. Just like that, she was gone. Our walk home from the bus stop each day is the happiest time of my young life.
When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine(or，rather，what you feel)is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still，it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.When you move，when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you，the "felt image" of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the sensations they cause.The image you make for yourself has rather strange proportions：certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you poke your tongue into a hole in one of your teeth，it feels enormous； you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.But although the“felt image”may not have the exact shape you see in the mirror，it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions，it is all one piece，and since it has a consistent right and left and top and bottom，it allows you to locate new sensations when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark，scratch itches and point to a pain.If the felt image is damaged for any reason——if it is cut in half or lost，as it often is after certain strokes which wipe out recognition of one entire side——these tasks become almost impossible. What is more，it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the felt image is wiped out or injured，the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of sensation on that side，and，although he feels the doctor’s touch，he locates it as being on the undamaged side.He loses his ability to accept the affected side as part of his body even when he can see it. If you throw him a pair of gloves and ask him to put them on, he will only glove one hand and leave the other bare. And yet he had to use the left hand in order to glove the right. The fact that he can see the ungloved hand doesn’t seem to help him, and there is no reason why it should. He can no longer reconcile what he sees with what he feels the ungloved object lying on the left may look like a hand, but, since there is no felt image corresponding to it, why should he claim the object as his The "felt image" lets you recognize your physical existence in the world.
M: Excuse me, can you help me please I’ve lost my watch.W: Where do you think you lost itM: Well, I think I must have left it in the gentlemen’s toilets.W: Do you know what timeM: Well, it was only about quarter of an hour ago. I think I took it off to wash my hands and I left it on the window ledge just in front of the wash-basin. And I went back to my room and I realized I’d lost my watch, so I went back to the gentlemen’s toilets again to see if it was there, and it disappeared. I wondered if maybe one of the cleaners had picked it up.W: No, did you ask the attendant if he’d seen itM: Er, the attendant wasn’t there at the time actually. I didn’t see anyone else there.W: Right, can you give me some details, then, pleaseM: Well, it’s an ordinary sort of watch, you know, not one of those fancy digital things.W: No.M: It’s…W: What make is itM: It’s a wind-up watch. I think it’s a Timex. Yes, it’s definitely a Timex. It’s got the date on it. Well, you know, a date indicator and a second band and it’s got a, a brown leather strap on it as well.W: Right. And what color’s the faceM: It’s a creamy color.W: OK. Well, leave it with me and I’ll check with the attendant. What time does the man think he lost his watch().
The massive search fur a missing Sannich woman today failed to turn up any trace of the 20-year-old University of Victoria student. Marguerite Tellesford disappeared last Sunday shortly after she started out for an early morning run. Police believe she was the victim of foul play. Her ear muffs and a pool of blood were found about a kilometer from her home. Barry Bell has more on the story.Hundreds of people turned up after police called for volunteers to comb the wooded parkland of Mount Douglas, north of Victoria, for clues in the suspected murder of Marguerite Tellesford. But four hours of painstaking probing left the searchers empty-handed. Sannich Emergency Program coordinator Lance Olmstead says the effort by the volunteers was remarkable. Absolutely outstanding. We ended up in the end with almost three hundred people in this search. In this area 90% of the ground has been covered at least once. But Mr. Olmstead says searchers found no clues or evidence in what the Sannich police are treating as a murder. The mysterious and violent disappearance of a popular student has aroused the concern of the community as expressed by those who turned up to search. Here’s Victoria writer Eric Wilson, "I feel like everyone else, just wanting to help, I guess it’s the first time I’ve lived somewhere where something like this has happened. I think everyone is very upset by it." Lauren Mallet went to junior high school and university with the missing woman. "Marguerite and I are very close friends and I just wanted to come out because I know that if ! didn’t … this is just going to make me feel better." Other volunteers were Vehna and Wilbur Partmiller. "My husband is 82 and I’m 77. We walk this area all the time, that’s why we were so interested and so worried about her."Although the intensive search of the area where Marguerite Tellesford was last seen has officially ended, the police investigation continues, and almost ten thousand dollars in rewards have been posted for information that would lead to an arrest. The police investigation into the Marguerite Tellesford case is continuing. However, the ground search for the woman has been called off.The twenty-year-old University of Victoria student disappeared Sunday while jogging in a heavily wooded park area in Sannich.Susan MacNamey has more on the story. "Every available person in the Sannich police department is working on this tragic case, but investigators are still baffled about the mysterious disappearance of Marguerite Tellesford. Yesterday more than four hundred volunteers turned up to take part in a massive ground search for the woman. Some of them were friends, neighbors, fellow students；others had never met Marguerite，they just wanted to help out. ”And while the search failed to turn up any new evidence，Inspector Jim Arnold says the public response has been overwhelming. "We’re getting all kinds of suggestions and tips from the public and，and，uh，uh，the number of volunteers that showed up is just，…you know，is evident of the support we are getting from the community and the type of information that’s coming forward. ”But so far none of those tips have led to any solid clues. What the police have found are the woman’s ear muffs and a pool of human blood on the jogging trail. But Inspector Arnold says they haven’t been able to match the blood type with that of the woman. "We have Canada Customs，and Immigration，attempting to determine from Port—of-Spain， Trinidad，where the young lady was born，her blood type，but there’s no records of her pre—immigration medical and her doctor’s charts and her dental charts locally and the family can’t tell us what her blood type is. " The reward money in this case has now climbed to over ten thousand dollars. Inspector Arnold says they haven’t been able to match () with that of the woman.
