According to psychologists (心理学家), it is much more serious than simply deciding between a soap opera and
25、 a sports program, or between pop music and politics. This television conflict is part of a bigger power game which goes on in homes, even though most of the players do not realize that they are playing a game at all. “Its such a game as is not easy to notice，” says psychologist Dr David Lewis, “tha
26、t many people dont even know theyre playing it.” Unconsciously, people begin to play the game as soon as they meet their future husband or wife. By the time the couple get married, the rules of game are already formed. The big decision, like where to live and which school to send the children to, ar
27、e usually joint decision. When it comes to less important things, its a different matter. Here is just one example of this process at work. A husband looks through a pile of holiday brochures (小册子) and announces his preference: “The South of France”. And his wife quickly agrees before he realizes th
28、at the only brochures she gave him were those for the South of France. Similarly, she may decide on how the home should be decorated, but he chooses the new car and decides what the family does at weekends. “Family power struggles are interesting，” says Dr Lewis. “Of course, some people are naturall
29、y more dominant (占支配地位的) than others, and the most dominant personality in a family tries to lead. These days, even though so many couples make a special effort to have a true and equal partnership, men generally have a greater need to appear to be in physical control. Women, on the other hand, are
30、not so interested in physical control as in emotional control. On the whole, theyre more controlling and can make the man think of something as his idea in the first place.”36. What is the psychologists opinion about choosing a TV program at home? A. Its likely to cause family quarrels. B. Its an in
31、teresting game a family likes to play. C. Its difficult to choose with so many programs. D. Its a matter of power in a family.37. According to the passage, which decision is made by the couple together? A. How to decorate their home. B. Where to settle down. C. What kind of car to buy. D. What to do
32、 at weekends.38. What can we learn about family decisionmaking from the passage? A. Men have the final say in the family. B. Men are much better controlled than women. C. Women are rather skillful in influencing men. D. Women are emotional about important matters.39. Which of the following is the ma
33、in idea of the passage? A. Why people fight for power at home. B. Whose finger is on the button at home. C. How family members play games at home. D. What decision family members make together.答案与解析：夫妻谁在家占支配地位？心理学家从各个角度分析了这一问题。36D推理判断题。由全文尤其是第一段的前三句话可知，电视节目的选择反映了夫妻哪一方在家中占支配地位。37B细节理解题。文章第二段第三句“The big decision, like where to live and which school to send the children to, are usually joint decision.”指出，在哪儿定居、送孩子进哪所学校这些重大的决定是由夫妻双方共同决定的。38C推理判断题。从文章第二段中谈到的妻子对去哪儿旅游采取的策略以及最后一段最后两句话可知，妻子对如何影响丈夫更有技巧。39B主旨大意题。文中讲述了夫妻在家庭中的权力问题。Whose finger is on the button at home充分反映了这一主题。
