this. The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by puters. Dr. Johnson said, ―They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Inter as when they talked face to face. When the puters were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.‖ Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences. Dr Johnson believes that ing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they bee more open, especially if there are no cameras. ―If you cannot see the other person, it bees easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So ing has bee the modern way of talking,‖ said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. ―In the 19th century people started to use the ?telegraph‘ to municate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.‖ Dr. Johnson thinks that ers need to know about these effects of ing, especially when they start work in a pany. ― If you don‘t know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.‖ 60.

Women often are told ―You can‘t have it all.‖ Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: ―You choose a career, so you can‘t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.‖ or ―You have a wonderful husband and children—what‘s all this about wanting a career?‖ But women need to understand and develop both aspects of wellbeing, if they are to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, wellbeing has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes selfrespect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the ―doing‖ side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the ―feeling‖ side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然 ) . For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time. The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of wellbeing for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all wellbeing. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed. A woman‘s wellbeing is developed when she takes on multiple(多項(xiàng)的) roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a bination of roles—marriages, motherhood, and employment—were the highest in wellbeing, in spite of warnings about stress and strain. 64.

The author‘s attitude towards women having a career is________. A. negative B. positive C. neutral(中立的) D. realistic 66. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles,________. A. it will be easier for her to overe stress and strain B. she will be more successful in her career C. her chances of getting promoted will be greater D. her life will be richer and more meaningful 67. Which of the following can be considered as a source of ―pleasure‖ for women? A. Family life B. Multiple roles in society C. Regular employment D.
