The cohesiveness(內(nèi)聚力 ) of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine prac- tices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.
Existing re.search shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage,in- cluding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is character- ized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to sup- port the family ;wives arc "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.
The women's definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife's response:
I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speak- ing, wben it' s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.To husbands,a good wife is someone who is:
Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work,I hope I get it al work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don' t want her to give me a lot of shil when I come home from work because I don' t know if this makes much sense.
These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.

參考譯文
一個(gè)家庭的內(nèi)聚力似乎要依靠家庭成員們一起做一些常規(guī)的事情來(lái)維系。然而由于美國(guó)勞動(dòng)力人數(shù)的增多，在非正常工作時(shí)間的輪班工作，也就是我們通常所說(shuō)的“換班工作”，使家庭生活面臨困境。
現(xiàn)有的調(diào)查表明男性和女性的倒班工人都承認(rèn)壓力很大，工作和家庭生活的需求相互沖突。但是，從事?lián)Q班工作的夫婦們?nèi)匀槐３种鴮?duì)婚姻的意義和夫妻各自責(zé)任的傳統(tǒng)觀念。他們表示仍然愿意“不惜一切代價(jià)”實(shí)現(xiàn)他們認(rèn)為正常的婚姻生活，譬如犧牲睡眠時(shí)間或是在非常規(guī)的時(shí)間去做一些慣例的事情。大多數(shù)接受采訪的夫婦，甚至是那些妻子在外工作的家庭都認(rèn)為，正常家庭生活的顯著特點(diǎn)還是清楚的分工：丈夫是家庭的“支撐者”，他們主要的責(zé)任是養(yǎng)活全家，而妻子仍然是“主婦”。她們負(fù)責(zé)打掃、做飯、照顧丈夫和孩子。
以下是一個(gè)妻子對(duì)“好丈夫”的定義，這代表了所有女人的看法：
我希望他能養(yǎng)家。在我需要的時(shí)候陪在我身邊，和我熱衷于相同的事物。希望他也愿意支配我，就像我期望的那樣。這么說(shuō)吧，在需要他表現(xiàn)得像個(gè)男人的時(shí)候，我希望他挺身而出，而不是坐視不管，卻想讓我去處理一切。
丈夫們眼中的好妻子是這樣的：
她要理解我在工作中的感受。我需要在工作時(shí)受尊重，我希望能在工作中找到受尊重的感覺(jué)。我要我的妻子明白我對(duì)工作的期望。我可不想每天下班回家的時(shí)候，她嘮叨個(gè)沒(méi)完洇為我也不知道這是否有意義。 以上的觀點(diǎn)對(duì)于維護(hù)那些輪班工作的夫妻家庭是至關(guān)重要的。
答案及解析
31.B【解析】“shiftwork”意為“working shifts beyond the normal daylighthours”。而A、C選項(xiàng)中“traditional beliefs about marmge”，“a veryclear division of roles”均為“a stable life”的一部分，不符合題意。
32.c【解析】由文中“the women'S definitions of a good husband”可以看出C為正確答案。
33.A【解析】由文章主旨句“shiftwork makes the lives of families difficult”可知選A。
34.D【解析】聯(lián)系全文，知A、B、c三項(xiàng)均正確。
35.C【解析】先排除D項(xiàng)，因全文圍繞shiftwork展開(kāi)，B項(xiàng)則太具體,A項(xiàng)則涵義過(guò)廣,全文切入點(diǎn)為marriage。
