Clothes can be bought ready made,washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works39。 canteen, and the school diningroom. It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father39。s occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wageearner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has bee so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child39。s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twentyfive years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works economic advantages accrue, but children lose something of great value if mother39。s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.New words and expressions生詞短語laundry customary ，司空見慣的can ....裝罐 factor ，因素preserve draw pursue vt. 從事，進行 substantial trade accrue occupation Notes on the vocabularies 詞語注釋 laundry I go to the 。 can ....裝罐can (美國常用) tin(英國常用)can the fruit 水果罐頭 readymade food to heat it preserve preserved vegetables 腌菜 nutritious bean curd:豆腐保存－preserve reserveconservereserve 預(yù)定I’d like to reserve two tickets.
