III - QS 31 - 35: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by circling letter
A, B, C or D
Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die younger than
women? Is it because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens?
Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first
Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women Men are stronger physically, yet women can hang on longer to life Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid or ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so They are afraid of being thought "soft" Some men, when they are upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings Many men like an orderly life so that they bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a definite chain of command There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat All these make men feel they live in a rational world
So the majority of men like a rational world Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating When a man refuses to cry he is refusing to accept that his emotions are part of him Of course some men do not follow this pattern Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time
We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer If we do not suffer we are not really alive at all Suffering can be creative or destructive If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are living creatively and adding something tp the human race We often say men suffer more from stress and therefore they die earlier Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way - with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of course Have you a better one?
31 What does the word "that" (the underlined word) in the passage refer to?
A The fact that men die younger than women B The fact that they fear to be left alone
C The fact that men get old and helpless D The fact that they decide to do the leaving first
32 What is found the same for both men and women?
C They want to play loud music D They are emotional creatures
33 Which paragraph explains why men die earlier than women?
34 What's the writer's opinion toward crying?
A It is a good thing for people to cry B To be silent is better than to cry
C It is all right for women to cry but shameful for men D Tears are not real signs of suffering
35 What's the main question the article is intended to discuss?
A Why men like a rational world B Why women are more emotional than men
C Why suffering is different in men and women D Why men die earlier than women
