Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the work' s canteen, and the school dining room.

It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore, seldom trained to follow their father' s occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child' s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother' s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you?

Talking during a performance irritates people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate. When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.

Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places--especially enclosed spaces.

Would you want to listen to someone' s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral? It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.

When eating at a restaurant with friends, don' t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.

Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won' t hear the details of your conversation. If you are calling in a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.

第16题单选 What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?
