Usually people can't feel the change of the society. From generation to generation we live
in the same frame. of family and structure and society. But as a matter of fact, the change of the society is changing rapidly. People in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in the nation's economy would bring social chaos. In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability, the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. Accompanying that growth was a structural change that featured increasing economic diversification and a gradual shift in the nation's labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits.

Although the birth rate continued to decline from its high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the population roughly doubled every generation during the rest of the nineteenth century. As the population grew, its makeup also changed. Massive waves of immigration brought new ethnic groups into the country. Geographic and social mobility-downward as well as upward-touched almost everyone. Local studies indicate that nearly three-quarters of the population in the North and South, in the emerging cities of the Northeast and in the restless rural counties of the West changed their residence each decade. As a consequence, historian David Donald has written, "Social atomization affected every segment of society, and it seemed to many people that all the recognized values of orderly civilization were gradually being eroded."

Rapid industrialization and increased geographic mobility in the nineteenth century had special implications for women because these changes tended to magnify social distinctions. As the roles of men and women played in society became more rigidly defined, so did the roles they played in the home. In the context of extreme competitiveness and dizzying social change, the household lost many of its earliest functions and the home came to serve as a haven of tranquility and order. As the size of families decreased, the roles of husband and wife became more clearly differentiated than ever before. In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women ruled the home and served as the custodians of civility and culture. The intimacy of marriage that was common in earlier periods was rent, and a gulf that at times seemed unbridgeable was between husbands and wives.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.The economic development of the United States in the eighteenth century.

B.Ways in which economic development led to social changes in the United States.

C.Population growth in the western United States.

D.The increasing availability of industrial jobs for women in the United States.

When it comes to gender roles in families, it seems the more things change, the more they
stay the same. For the first time, the latest issue of the Journal of Sociology explores a single theme, examining the issue of" Flexibility. Families, Self and Work" through contributions from across Australia and overseas.

The journal is edited by staff of the Sociology Department at Flinders. The research suggests that the gender structures of family life and their impact on women and men are remarkably constant aspects of social life. Against the idea that family life has become a new realm of freedom and flexibility, relations between men and women, and women's position in family life, continue to be bound by strong gender norms.

While there is evidence of a convergence in men's and women's relative contributions to house hold tasks, the change is due to the decline in time that women spend on domestic labor rather than the small increase in time spent on domestic duties by men. "Working women are making changes in their domestic labor and consumption patterns in order to accommodate their increased labor force participation, "said Professor Sharyn Roach Anleu.

Large-scale work place surveys from Australia and the UK also show that there are enduring pay differences between men and women who are parents. Another paper presents a recent Australian survey comparing the effect of paid work on household economic well-being with other factors (notably whether or not the mother is partnered), and shows that overall household welfare is improved only where mothers obtain professional/administrative jobs.

The increase of single parent families is a well recognized feature of demographic change in household and family forms, and the difficulties presented by the labor market for sole mothers is underlined by a study from New Zealand/Interviews with sole mothers show that jobs are increasingly fragmented and temporary. Far from offering flexibility, the workplaces are often rigid and constraining. Clear differences emerge between women whose training and experience allows access to higher status jobs and those who can only access the least desirable employment options.

Another New Zealand study emphasizes the growth of non-standard work arrangements in the "New Economy", showing the increasing extent of work outside conventional organizations and career paths, part-time work. irregular hours and work from home. The influence of the European Economic Union's agricultural policies and of global economic and technological changes in farming is apparent in a Northern Ireland study of women's work on and off farms.

According to the text, which of the following statements is true?

A.Family members enjoy more flexibility and freedom in their family life.

B.The gender roles in families change a lot than before.

C.Females play more dominant roles in families nowadays.

D.Gender norms determine women's family roles and the relations between men and women.
