and as more and more men were drawn into industry, domestic (家务的) service became increasingly a female job. in the second half of the century, however, chances of other service work also opened up to women, from sales jobs in shops to teaching and nursing. these jobs came to be done mainly by women. for thousands of years, when almost all work was done on the family farm or in the family firm, home and workplace had been the same. in these cases, women could do farm work or hand work, and perform home duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time. along with the development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the factory and the department store, separated home from work. faced with the necessity for women to choose between home and workplace, western society began to give particular attention to the role of women as homemakers with more energy than ever before. 50. we learn from the first paragraph that_had been done chiefly by men before they went to cities to seek jobs.a.mining, teaching, and nursing b.sewing clothes and miningc.sowing, growing, and harvesting d.caring for cattle and growing crops51. domestic service became a female job mainly because_.a. women took care of children b. women took jobs as servantsc. men were employed in industry d. men seldom worked in shops52. we know from the passage that in the 1800s _.a.more and more women began to work in domestic serviceb.women mainly worked as servants, nurses, and minersc.service and industrial jobs absorbed more women than men d.women enjoyed working as sellers, teachers, and miners53. this passage is about_ in the 19th century.a. service and industryb. female and male c. women and their workd. male jobs and the paycnickname: hawaiis island of adventure size: 4,028 square milespopulation: 148,677the most heavily populated areas are hilo on the east side and kailua-kona on the west.temperature: averages between 71f and 77f year around .beaches: 47 ;
