The cohesiveness(内聚力)of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours -- what we here call "shiftwork" -- makes the lives of families difficult.
Existing research shows that both male and female shiftworkers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shiftwork couples still maintain a traditional attitude about the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do" whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed -- even when wives worked outside their homes a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers’ whose major responsibility is to support the family; wives are "homemakers" who clean, cook , and care for husbands and children.
As couples encountered shiftwork schedules, however, initial expectations about what it would take to create a marriage and family were put to test. One woman expressed her dreams about what marriage was supposed to be:
"It would make me feel like I had more of a home atmosphere, you know. That’s the way I always expected being married having the husband go off, come in the evenings and spend the rest of the evenings together, you know that’ s the way we thought it would be. It doesn’t work out that way.
The women’s definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife’s response:
I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking when it’s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.
To husbands, a good wife was someone who was:
Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don’ t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because -- I don’t know if this makes much sense.
These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shiftworkers.
The best title for this paragraph is______.
选项
A、Constructing Family Life
B、Managing Time and Activities
C、The Meaning of Marriage
D、Living a Normal Life
答案
C
解析
先排除D项,因全文围绕shift work展开,而不可能是“living a normal life";B项则太具体,且忽略了文章针对family与 marriage的写作目的;A项则涵义过广,Constructing Family Life可指家庭生活中的各个方面,如父子关系、母子关系,而不仅指婚姻(marriage)关系,全文切入点为marriage。
