Early industrialization began the process of transferring s

9、ome production processes (e.g. clothmaking, sewing, and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident- the m

10、arketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them (e.g. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether t

11、he home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruits of industrialization, they would have to be obtained in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as nursing the sick, bec

12、ame socially unacceptable( and, in most serious cases, probably less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of the horse-drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of backgroun

13、d music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy toe either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in customer goods, but not increased flexibility for the home economy in obta

14、ining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical model that views the family as deciding w

15、hether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second ( and current ) stage.21. The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that _D_.A. it was a n

28、 your answer on the Answer Sheet 20%)诗比散文难写，这是事实。散文之所以比较容易写，是因为它更接近我们口中的语言。可以说，散文是加过工的口语。我们都会说话，而且说的是散文，不是韵文。在日常交谈的时候，我们的话语难免层次不分明，用词未尽妥当，因为随想随说，来不及好好思索、细细推敲，也就是欠加工。那么，我们既会说话，如果再会加工，就会写出较好的散文来。It is a fact that poetry is harder to write than prose. The reason why prose is easier to write is because

29、it is closer to the language we speak. It can be said that prose is a refined spoken language. We all speak in prose, not rhyme. In daily conversations, it is inevitable that our words are not well organized and our wording is not entirely appropriate, because we speak casually and have no time to t

30、hink carefully, which means we are not well processed. So, if we can both speak and process, we will write better prose.V.

31、ns family structure determines the kind of society it will have, and that any attempts to change or improve the society must begin with changing the family. Six years latter now, I have come to feel that, paradoxically, although some kind of family structure may be indispensable to societal functioning, it is the society that determines what the family will be, and not the other way around.在早期对家庭的研究中，我认为，一般来说，一个国家的家庭结构决定了它将拥有的社会类型，任何改变或改善社会的尝试都必须从改变家庭开始。六年后的今天，我开始觉得，矛盾的是，尽管某种家庭结构可能对社会运作不可或缺，但决定家庭未来的是社会，而不是相反。
