Read the following articles in which four people talked about their work and life. For questions 61 to 64, match name of each speaker to one of the statements ( a to f) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Joyce Swenson:
Joyce is 36 years old and has worked for a publishing company in New York city for two years. Presently, she is working as a senior editor in charge of developmental programs. An opening for a vice -presidential position has just opened. Joyce is one of four people applying for the position. The other three applicants are men who have been at the company approximately as long as she has. The requirements for the job include a master’ s degree and a minimum of ten years experience working as a manager in a publishing company. Historically, the company has hired from within the male. Joyce bas applied for promotions before but she has been passed over each time by a male candidate. When Joyce joined the company, she was single. Now she is married and has two school - aged children and one preschooler. Joyce feels she has been discriminated against because of her sex. She feels motherhood is viewed by the company as a negative factor in job promotion.
Ardith Smiths:
Ardith is 39 years old. She is a single mother of three children. She works full time as a marketing manager for a fast -food chain. Ardith works 50 hours a week and carpools her 12 -year -old daughter to gymnastics after work three days a week. She also makes sure that she is in the stands to watch her 16 -year -old son wrestle or watch her 15 -year- old daughter play soccer.
Ardith takes her role as mother and employee very seriously. She feels that her children couldn’t have to help out around the house because they are too busy with academics and sports activities. This same attitude carries over to the workplace. She hates to burden her secretary with extra work, so instead, she does a lot of it herself,r She feels that she must be everything to everybody she comes in contact with. It is important to note that Ardith grew up in the 1950s. Her mother was always there for her. There was never a day that Ardith did not come home and find her mother waiting for her ( sometimes with milk and cookies). Her mother was involved with the parents’ organization at school and was her girl scout leader. Although the family was not well - off financed, Ardith always dressed well. Her mother was an excellent dressmaker.
Mary Sand:
Ardith’ s friend Mary is 37 years old. She is also a single mother with three as she possibly can. She has limited her volunteering on committees. The one activity that she does get involved in is the annual book sale at school. Her children are responsible for many of the household chores. She has created a rotation system so that they all learn how to wash, iron, clean and cook.
Karia Brown:
Karia received her nursing degree while working part time as a clerk or typist, and at the same time raising her sons Jeff and Jason. Karia married when she was about 25 years old. Karia met her husband Paul at a friend’ s party. It was sort of a fix up. Paul was much older than her, about 40 years old. Karia was anxious to get married. She had been dating on and off but never seriously. Her parents felt time was running out especially if Karia was to begin a family. Paul and Karia never really fought but a silence ran through their marriage. The children were what made Karia come to life. Paul was content to sit at home, watch TV, or work on his hobby carving wooden figures. The marriage seemed to just extinguish itself. Karia ran the house, worked, went to school, and raised her two sons.
Jane Cresswell:
Jane, a career woman, does an afternoon job so she bas to get the housework and shopping done in the morning. One morning her son, Jimmy, who is only two, threw the radio out of the window, the dog made a mess on the carpet, and her husband, Brian, was snoring on the sofa, not lifting a finger to help her. She thinks she has had enough of the life.
