But Edith knew from past _42_that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father. She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the _43_were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father only smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was _44_ to please him.

During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century world probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods. The important change in womens life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.46. For women at the beginning of the twentieth century, the amount of time spent taking care of children _.A) was shorter than in previous centuriesB) was longer than in previous centuriesC) was considered to be surprisingly longD) account for a great part of their lives47. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married _.A) at about twenty-fiveB) in their early fiftiesC) as soon as possible after they were fifteenD) at any age from fifteen to forty-five48. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother _.A) would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentB) was usually expected to die fairly soonC) would expect to work until she diedD) was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one49. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _.A) is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB) does not like children herselfC) need not worry about food for her childrenD) can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty50. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to _.A) stay at home after leaving schoolB) marry men younger than themselvesC) start working again later in lifeD) marry while still at schoolIV.

But the number of young people who can 37 universities is limited by the capacity of the universities, which is 38 than enough to take all the young people who have the basic qualifications for university admission. In practice, therefore, entry to the universities is competitive. But university degree courses are also 39 at polytechnics, and entry to the Open University is less restricted.The academic year begins after the summer holidays and is divided into three “terms”, with the 40 between them formed by the Christmas and Easter holidays. The exact dates of the holidays vary from area to area, 41 in general about two weeks at Christmas and Easter, plus often a week or more at Whitsun, and six weeks in the summer, beginning rather late. Schools outside the state system decide on their own holiday 42 , generally taking a month off at Christmas and Easter and eight weeks in the summer. The three terms are not everywhere called by the same names; indeed 43 schools call the January-March period “the Spring Term”, others use “Spring Term” for the period April-July. Some call the January term “Winter Term” (which is logical), others call it “Easter Term”.Day-schools mostly work Monday to Friday only, from about 9 44 to between 3 and 4 p.m. Lunch is provided and parents pay for it unless they prove to the authorities that they cannot well afford 45 .

This feast is a time when the family comes together for a meal and gives thanks to God for the blessings they have received. The first thanksgiving feast was celebrated by the early American settlers who started the feast to give thanks to God for their good harvest.In America thanksgiving is the family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family members make a special effort to gather together . The feast is always held on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.The thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey which was a large bird valued as food for the first time.
