听力原文:W: A great day, isn't it?
M: I guess so. But I feel awful because I watched TV until after midnight last night.
W: After midnight! Did you watch so late because you were bored? I usually watch TV only ff I have nothing better to do.
M: Bored? No, I was upset because I left my meal tickets in the cafeteria.
W: That worth more than fifty dollars. So, did watching TV make you feel better?
M: A bit. But after I turned the TV off, I just felt disgusted with myself for wasting so much time.
W: I've had that feeling before.
M: I had intended to watch just one program, but somehow I couldn't make myself switch off the TV.
W: Actually, I've read that there's a scientific explanation for that. It seems that there's a part of the brain that processes complex information, but that part becomes less active while watching TV.
M: That's certainly how I felt last night--like my brain wasn't very active.
W: That's not the worst of it. If you watch TV a lot, or for a long time, that part of the brain--the part that processes complex information, shows lowered activity and you become more and more passive.
M: That's incredible.
W: Next time you feel upset, you should go swimming. That's what I do, and it always makes me feel better.
M: I suppose. Now I've got to go to the cafeteria and get some more meal tickets.

A.Husbands have to share power with their wives and help them with the housework.B.Old

A. Husbands have to share power with their wives and help them with the housework.
B. Older women do not often have important positions in a large group and often live alone when their husbands die.
C. Family structure is more patriarchal in the nuclear family.
D. Women have to help sisters, grandparents with housework and childcare.

The new family structure offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in these families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family lives.
In the past, wives usually have to pay for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters and grandparents and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions.
But now, wives do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from these 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. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.
