Section(B)
(A)
There was a time,not that long ago,when women were considered smart if they played dumb(愚蠢的)to get a man ,and women who went to college were more interested in getting a “Mr.Degree”than a bachelor’s(学士)。Even today,it is not unusual for a woman to get whispered and unrequested advice from her grandmother that an advanced degree could hurt her in the marriage market.
“There were so many misunderstandings out there about education and marriage that I decided to sort out the facts ,”said economist Betsey Steveson ,and assistant professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.So along with Wharton colleague Adam Isen,Steveson calculated national marriage data from 1960 to 2008 and found that the marriage penalty(惩罚)women once paid for being well educated has largely disappeared.”In other words,the difference in marriage rates between those with college degrees and those without is very small,”saidSteveson. The new analysis also found that while high-school dropouts(辍学学生)had the highest marriage rates in the 1960s,today college-educated women are much more likely to marry than those who don’t finish high school.
Of course ,expectation have changed dramatically in the past fifty years .”In the 1960s,a lot of women thought they needed to marry right away ,”Steveson said ,”Real wages were rising so quickly that men in their 20s could afford to marry early.But they didn’t want a woman who was their equal.Men needed and wanted someone who knew less.”Infact,she said ,research published in 1959documented that 40 percent of college women admitted to playing dumb on dates.’’Thesedays ,few women feel the need to play down their intelligence or achievements.’’Steveson said.
The new research has more more good news for college graduates.Steveson said the date indicate that modern college-educated women are more likely to describe their marriage as “happy”.The marriage of well-educated women tend to be more stable because the brides are usually older as well as wiser,Steveson said.
56. Not that long ago,it was believed that women went to college in order to______. A. get a husband B.seek for advantage over others

57. What did Betsey Steveson find about well -educated women in the past? A. They were more likely to get married early.
B. They were more likely to marry a man who was their equal. C. Their marriage rate was lower than at present. D. Their divorce rate was higher than at present.
