参考答案:

The diagram reveals that the number of hours per week spent on unpaid work is unequally distributed between men and women.

In households where there are no children, women are reported to work some 30 hours per week in such tasks as housework and gardening. Men‘ s contribution to these unpaid jobs averages a considerably lower 18 hours.

When children enter the household, however, the inequality becomes even more pronounced. In families 1---2 children, men maintain approximately the same number of hours of unpaid work as in childless households, but the number of hours women work in the home rises to 52 per week, muck of it, no doubt, due to child-care responsibilities.

Interestingly, when there are three or more children in the household, men are found to work even fewer hours around the house than before the appearance of the third child. Whereas women‘s unpaid hours rise to approximately 56 per week, the corresponding figure for men, 16, actually represents a decrease.

The data suggest that the increased presence of women in the paid work force has not yet to lead to an increased role for men in the home. 第四节 表格 (table) 例文分析 The table below presents information about the Australian economy in the late 1980s Period Manufacturing Mining Retail Other Trade 1986-87 4650 3840 612 1232 1987-88 6615 3816 886 1511 1988-89 8617 3540 1349 1696 1989-90 7810 4992 1373 397 The table shows Australian company profits before tax by industry such as manufacturing, mining, retail trade and others in the late 1980s, According to the table , the manufacturing industry always had the most profits, mining the second and retail trade the third among the whole industry during that period.

Manufacturing‘s profits had a great rise between 1986 and 1988 from 4,650 to 6,615 million and then jumped again to 8,617 million during 1988 to 1989. However, the trend reversed from a great increase to a sudden drop during 1989 to 1990. Its profits fell to 7, 810 million at the end of late 1980s.

第六部分 如何自学写作——从写作的角度欣赏文章

例1

These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation. L4

Marriage is a cage. Those in are desperate to fly out and those out are desperate to fly in. Such is human nature, that we invariably appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not. As it did in the case of the hero of ―Mrs. Doubtfire‖, a famous American movie, who was willing to sacrifice the dignity as a man for sharing more cheerful time with his family and successfully renewed his family eventually. 例2 Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or Dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If fifty pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.
