阅读理解 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and she is likely to take paid work until sixty. This important change in women’s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic（经济的）position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life. 60. We are told that in a typical（典型的）family in about 1900________. A. few children died before they were five B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five C. the youngest child would be fifteen D. four or five children died when they were five 61. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _______________. A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves B. does not like children herself C. needn’t worry about food for her children D. can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty 62. Many girls are now likely to _______________________. A. give up their jobs after they are married B. leave school as soon as they can C. marry so that they can get a job D. continue working until they are going to have a baby 63 According to the passage, it is now quite common for women to______________. A stay at home after leaving school B marry men younger than themselves C start working again later in life D marry while still at school
