Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people gave their opinions on work and family.
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 (產婦的) 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(實體), 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.

參考譯文
劉：
對我來說，工作是第一位的，孩子是第二位的。與其說我為孩子工作，倒不如說我為自己工作，因為這是在經濟上獨立的唯一方法。否則，也許有一天我會失去一切，甚至是我的孩子。
我可以為了女兒做付出，但不能以失去工作為代價。只有當我在工作上實現了自己的價值，我才能養活孩子。
我只休了一個很短的產假就繼續工作了。現在我工作的時候就把女兒送到幼兒園去，我想這是她走上社會的第一步。
梁：
現在，經濟上的獨立對女人們尤其重要。唯有通過工作才能實現個人價值。我認為女人首先是一個社會的個體，然后才是一個母親。而且事實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。我不可能把她作為我整個的生活。我想我也會找個保姆來幫我的忙。
姚：
當女人們把工作作為她們的終極追求，她們就失去了母性的本能。我希望我的妻子能把她大部分的時間和精力放在養育孩子和照顧家庭上。因為孩子是她生的，她肯定能比父親更能理解孩子。媽媽才是孩子的主要教育者，爸爸是她的助手。
王：
女人天生就適合于人類繁衍的職責，就像男人天生就該負責創造物質財富。已婚婦女在她們的經濟條件允許的情況下必須承擔起全職母親的角色，而只有當一個女人成功地養育了她的孩子，她的價值才能得以實現。
趙：
雖然我們說女人有做母親的天分，我們應該承認她們不會為了_T-作而放棄家庭，也不該要求她們為了家庭放棄工作的機會。父親和母親都該平衡工作和家庭的責任。畢竟女人是和男人平等的社會成員，在所有的社會領域都有她們自己的價值。 |
