Then I got a job with an advertising agency as an assistant. I studied English so I could get a good job with a good company. In 1980 I went abroad with a friend. We spent a month in California Then I worked for a company which sold cassette tapes and books for English conversation. I was still single at 25 . then my parents started to worry because their daughter wasn't married.

 Our neighbors and relations were asking when I would marry and they began to talk about an arranged marriage. In Japan they don't force you to marry someone, but they may give you a chance to meet someone. I am very interested in jazz and I met my husband in a jazz club. My parents didn't want their daughter to marry a foreigner. They didn't want me to come to England. but now I work in London for a Japenese newspaper.

Part B

Directions: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Rend the texts from a magazine article in which five people gave their opinions on work and family. For Questions 61 to 65 , match the name of the persons to one of the statements given below.

Liu :

To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child be- cause it's the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child.

I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby.

I resumed working after a short maternity leave. Now my daughter goes to a kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society.

Long gone are the days when work is mechanically divided according to sex. Now people, men and women, take their work in line with their abilities. Moreover, I think men should take an equal share in housework and child care.

Liang:

Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity, then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world.

As for me, when I have a child, it is just another part of my life. It would be impossible to make her my whole life. I will give my child ideological instructions and material comforts. I think I will also get a nanny to lend me a hand.

Yao:

It' s unnecessary for women to work side by side with men.

When women make their career their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. They become as aggressive as men. I don' t like this type of women.

If I get married, I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant.

Wang:

Modem women are shirking their responsibility as mothers by reducing the time they should spend caring for their children to expand their presence in the workplace.

Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. It' s absolutely wrong for women to throw themselves into material production, which they are not so good at. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman' s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.

Even when women do work, their purpose in working should not be to develop their own careers. They should regard the working experience as a chance to broaden their vision so that they can be better mothers.

Zhao:

Although we may say women' s talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career.

The problem is how to make sure that burden is not only on the mother. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. There is no basic difference between the quality of work performed by men and women.

Now match each of the items(61 to 65 )to the appropriate statement.

Note : There are two extra statements.

[A] My child is the focus of my life.
