16、e author of Creating a Life, gives a picture of what life is like in the US for career women, based on extensive research. The heart of the book is a national survey of the parental and marital status of 1,168 high-achieving professional women, 479 of whom have dropped out of the workforce.,Now read

17、 the following passage. Mark the difficult parts, if there are any, and ask the teacher to explain afterwards.,Reading A Task 2 Text,翻譯,This is the study that earned Hewletts book a cover story in Time magazine. It focused on the findings that 49% of women over 40 who earn more than $100,000 a year

18、are childless. Comparatively, only 19% of men over 40 have no kids. You might assume that these women chose the life theyre living. The fact is, according to this study, only 14% of those women said they had not wanted children.,Reading A Task 2 Text,翻譯,So what happened? Lots of people will stick to

19、 their own views on the subject, whether or not they read the book. Based on a lot of the press comments, one widespread assumption is that most of these women cared more about their careers than about marriage and children, and now they are paying the price.,Reading A Task 2 Text,翻譯,But Hewlett rev

20、eals an astonishing reality, one that is neglected by those people who see this as an absolute womans problem, or fault. A primary reason why so many career women dont have children is that they dont have spouses. Only 57% of the high-achieving women over 40 are married, compared with 83% of male ac

21、hievers. Overall, high-achieving women either marry early or not at all. Just 10% of the women surveyed got married for the first time after age 30, and 1% after age 35.,Reading A Task 2 Text,翻譯,One woman interviewed, an executive of a securities company, points out how those statistics work out in

22、her office. “Half of the male colleagues in my company are already married with children. And in all cases they have stay-at-home wives. In contrast, most of the female colleagues are single. Only three of them are married, and neither have children.” Further up the career ladder the male-female dis

23、tinction becomes even more marked, she says. The male managers are all married with kids, while the female managers are both divorced and childless.,Reading A Task 2 Text,翻譯,It seems that men dont have much interest in women who get masters degrees. A number of interviews about women show that as th

24、ey became more successful, they were rejected by men, found it difficult to get a date in the first place, or ended up with men who didnt want children at all (often because they already had kids). As one woman acknowledges: “The fact is that most successful men are not interested in acquiring a pee

25、r as a partner.”,Reading A Task 2 Text,翻譯,How about viewing this as a male rather than a female problem? Classes could be set up to encourage men to marry women who are their professional equals. CEOs could start changing a corporate culture that seems to have been designed by and for men not eager

26、to go back to their families. And perhaps we all could recognize that, since children are the future of society, it might be worthwhile to balance childrens needs with the demands of the workplace.,Reading A,職業(yè)女性 休利特是創(chuàng)造生活一書的作者。該書在廣泛研究的基礎上，對美國職業(yè)女性的生活進行了描述。該書的核心是一項在全國范圍內(nèi)展開的對1,168名卓有成就的職業(yè)女性的婚育狀況所作的調(diào)查，其

27、中479名已退出了勞動大軍。,Reading A,這項研究為休利特的書贏得了時代雜志的封面報導。該書著重探討這樣一個調(diào)查結(jié)果：40歲以上、年收入超過10 萬美元的女性中有49%沒有孩子。與之相比，40 歲以上的男性只有19%沒有孩子。你可能認為是這些女性自己選擇了這樣的生活方式。而事實是，根據(jù)這份研究，這些女性中只有14%的人表明不想要孩子。,Reading A,那么究竟是怎么回事呢？無論讀沒讀過這部書，許多人都會堅持自己對這個問題的看法。根據(jù)許多的新聞評論，人們普遍認為，這些婦女中，大部分把工作看得比婚姻和孩子更重要，而現(xiàn)在她們正為此付出代價。,Reading A,但是休利特揭示了一個令人震

28、驚的事實，一個被那些認為這完全是女性的自身問題或過錯的人所忽略的事實。為什么如此多的職業(yè)女性沒有孩子？一個主要的原因是她們沒有配偶。40歲以上的成功女性中只有57%的人已婚，而男性中83%的人已婚?？偟膩碚f，事業(yè)有成的女性要么結(jié)婚很早，要么根本不結(jié)婚。被調(diào)查的女性中，只有10%在30歲之后第一次結(jié)婚，1%是在35歲之后。,Reading A,一位證券公司的女主管在接受采訪時，指出了以上統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)是如何在她的辦公室里體現(xiàn)出來的?！霸谖业墓纠铮话氲哪型乱鸦椴⒂泻⒆?，妻子在家操持家務。相反，大多數(shù)女同事都是單身，只有3人結(jié)了婚，并且還沒有孩子?！甭毼辉礁?，這種男女差異就越明顯。她說，男經(jīng)理都已婚

29、有孩子，而女經(jīng)理都離異無子。,Reading A,似乎男性對擁有碩士學位的女性不太感興趣。許多采訪發(fā)現(xiàn)，隨著女性越來越成功，她們會被男人拒絕，要么起初連約會都很難，要么最終因男人根本不想要孩子而結(jié)束（通常是因為他們已經(jīng)有孩子了）。就如一位女性承認的那樣：“事實是，大多數(shù)成功男人對找一位成就相當?shù)陌閭H并不感興趣?！?Reading A,不妨把這看作是男性問題而不是女性問題如何？應當開設一些課程來鼓勵男人與同樣事業(yè)有成的女人結(jié)婚。首席執(zhí)行官們應著手改變這種似乎由那些不急于回家的男人所設計，同時也是為他們服務的企業(yè)文化。也許我們都能意識到，既然孩子是社會的未來，或許平衡一下孩子的需要和工作的要求是值
