Prison life will never be quite the same again for women criminals in Scotland.

Prisoners live on a ‘family’basis with their officers,in small units of seven rooms.There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals,and a lounge(起居室)with fitted carpet and armchairs.

Agnes Curran seems to suggest that if you imagine yourself in the prisoner s position A)you won't be tempted te t crimes B) you can preserve your dignity C)you are more likely to treat prisoners as human beings D)you will feel happier 2 Sometimes i wish that Tom Jefferson were here to talk things over. I think he' d know what is on my mind. Tom lived in a time of trouble, just as we do. He knew war and the threat of war, and that unquiet ense of a nameless dread in the air. He knew what it means to go te at night never knowi of the things you care about will still be there in the morning. And yet, if i read my book right, nobody ever saw Tom worried. Nobody saw him scared. Nobody saw Tom anything but cheerful about the way things were going to turn out. i think of those uneasy years when Tom and other men of the Colonies were wrestling with an appalling decision: whether the people of this country were ready to stand on their own feet. We know now how right their answer was--but what made Tom so sure, back then? I think of Tom as our first Secretary of State, easy and confident that his new littlerepublic could hold its own in the world. how did he know back then? And I think of Tom in the White House, facing problems day and night that could mean disaster for a young country, and never doubting the outcome at all. I think I know why Tom was sure. Tom had a feeling about the people of this country. He felt that God put good stuff in them, and that freedom brought it out. He never doubted for a minute that in the plain, everyday, self respecting, unbossed men and women of America there would always be strength enough, and wisdom enough, and courage enough to handle anything fate might deal out And Tom meant me. And he meant you. That s why, sometimes, I wish that Thomas Jefferson might come striding back today, with his big farmers shoulders and those mild grey eyes of his-back to the America that was once just an idea in his head, and to the people he believed in though they hadn't yet been born I' d like Tom to see that he wasn't wrong 55.

57. The author draws a parallel between Thomas Jeffersons time and A)a time of trouble B) D)the time he lives 58. The author would like Jefferson to come back A)so he could see that his ideas were right B)to see that the American people haven't changed C)so that he could see that freedom does bring out the best in a man D)so that he could see that all of the above statements are true 3 In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world haracterized by co operation rather than by the "battle of the sexes. If the process goes too far and man s role is regarded as less impo that has happer some cases--we are as badly off as before, only in reverse It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of“ Momism”— but we don' t want to exchange it for a“ neo Popism." What we need, rather,is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit--nor all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman' s place is in the home We are beginning, however, to analyze man s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the heal thy development of the child. The family is a co operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, becaus each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent not only to a heal thy democracy, but also to a heal thy family. 69.
