For Questions 61 to 65,match the name of the persons to one of the statements given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Liu :
To me，work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it' s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise ! may some day lose everything, even my child.
I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby.
I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society.
Liang:
Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world.
Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand.
Yao:
When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant.
Wang:
Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman' s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.
Zhao:
Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields.

参考译文
刘：
对我来说，工作是第一位的，孩子是第二位的。与其说我为孩子工作，倒不如说我为自己工作，因为这是在经济上独立的唯一方法。否则，也许有一天我会失去一切，甚至是我的孩子。
我可以为了女儿做付出，但不能以失去工作为代价。只有当我在工作上实现了自己的价值，我才能养活孩子。
我只休了一个很短的产假就继续工作了。现在我工作的时候就把女儿送到幼儿园去，我想这是她走上社会的第一步。
梁：
现在，经济上的独立对女人们尤其重要。唯有通过工作才能实现个人价值。我认为女人首先是一个社会的个体，然后才是一个母亲。而且事实表明在工作上女人并不比男人差。
我的孩子只是我生活的另一部分。我不可能把她作为我整个的生活。我想我也会找个保姆来帮我的忙。
姚：
当女人们把工作作为她们的终极追求，她们就失去了母性的本能。我希望我的妻子能把她大部分的时间和精力放在养育孩子和照顾家庭上。因为孩子是她生的，她肯定能比父亲更能理解孩子。妈妈才是孩子的主要教育者，爸爸是她的助手。
王：
女人天生就适合于人类繁衍的职责，就像男人天生就该负责创造物质财富。已婚妇女在她们的经济条件允许的情况下必须承担起全职母亲的角色，而只有当一个女人成功地养育了她的孩子，她的价值才能得以实现。
赵：
虽然我们说女人有做母亲的天分，我们应该承认她们不会为了_T-作而放弃家庭，也不该要求她们为了家庭放弃工作的机会。父亲和母亲都该平衡工作和家庭的责任。毕竟女人是和男人平等的社会成员，在所有的社会领域都有她们自己的价值。 |
