It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitudes about t
29、hemselves and their roles in American life.Historically, American women have always been very independent. The first settlers to come to New England were ten young couples that had left behind their extended families. The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. This had t
30、wo important effects. First of all, this was the strange environment that demanded every person to share in developing it and in survival. Women worked with their husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this new land. Second, because they are in a new land without the influence of older
31、 members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.This role of women was strengthened in later yeas as American move west, again leaving families behind and meeting a new environment. Even later, in the east, as new settlers arrived, women often found jobs more easily than men.
32、Women became the supporters of the family.Within the established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century, the strong role of women was not as attractive as in the early days of the country.

A. the Second World War B. the Westward Movement C. the early immigrationD. the industrialized twentieth centuryBSome years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful
36、 as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the
37、work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which gove

New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill. Today many governme
