M: Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men W: Well, it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time. I don’t know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it’s just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing. For example, it is usually women who work, have babies, look after the babies and take the main responsibility for looking after the home. And maybe it’s practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time. Men, it seems to me, can only concentrate on one thing at a time, including boring domestic things like washing the dishes, If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he’ll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time, whereas if I’m doing the dishes I’m always talking to someone, probably cooking something as well, and finding that not too stressful. M: Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men W: Generally, yes, though again I don’t know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people, whereas men are always taught to please themselves. I think relationships are more central to most women’s lives. For example, I think men don’t have very good conversations with each other, whereas women do. If you listen to women talking, often they will be having, after a relatively short time of knowing each, fairly personal and truthful conversations, whereas men have conversations not about what I’d call real things. They will talk about their work in a very superficial way, or their interests in a very superficial way, for example, and football is, just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important, it appears to me. Why are women much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time, but men are not as good()

All of us who work in television news are constantly being accused of emphasizing the negative side of everything. We get letters saying we never cover a story unless something terrible happens. Tonight, we’ve put together a little news broadcast, to give you an idea of what it would look like if you had it your way. "O’ Hare Airport in Chicago is one of the nation’s busiest. At 11 a. m. , a jet aircraft with 168 passengers and ten crew members on board started down the long runway. The plane, headed for London, took off without incident. It landed without incident too. Everyone on board is now in London. " "For a report from New York City we take you to our correspondent standing in front of the Rose Plaza, one of New York’s most luxurious hotels. CBS News has learned that last evening, after a night on the town, the Shah of Franakanpan and his semi-beautiful wife returned to their hotel suite after depositing more than a million dollars’ worth of jewelry in the hotel safe. The jewelry included the famous Cooch Behar Diamond. " "This morning, when the safe was opened, all the jewelry including the famous Cooch Behar Diamond was right there where they’d left it." "In Florida, the orange crop was hit by another night of average weather. The oranges just hung there and grew. " "The oil tanks behind me are very close to a residential area. If they were on fire, smoke would be seen billowing up for miles around. They aren’t on fire though; they are just sitting there. " And if that’s what you want to hear, that’s the way it was. Th fallacy the author makes in the passage is ().
During the Christmas shopping rush in London, an intriguing story was reported of a tramp who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Chirstmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents. However, that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrant very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual. He was put into prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too. What action did the tramp take()
Opinion polls are now beginning to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to make ways of sharing the available employment more widely.But we need to further, We must ask some primary questions about the future of work. Would we continue to treat employment as the norm Would we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and workThe industrial age has been the only period of human history during which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could provide the prospect of a better future for work. University employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transportation improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the place in which they lived.Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial time, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community, Now it became a custom for the husband to go out to be paid through employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today and restrict more flexible sharing Of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full time jobs. The arrival of the industrial age in our historical evolution meant that ().
