根据材料请回答下列各 On the high-speed train from Avignon (阿维尼翁． to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remainingseats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremelyuncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books.The woman produced a large makeup case and proceeded to freshen up. Except for a lunch break, she continuedthis activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, butnever once did she catch my (admittedly fascinated．eye. My husband and I could have been a blank wall. I was amused, but some people would have felt insulted, even repulsed (厌恶的). There is something aboutprimping in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it's a question of hygiene. (Nearly everyoneagrees that nail-paling and hair-combing are socially considered unwise to do.．And it's a matter of degree.Grooming-a private act-has a way of negating the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brash and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while shewas next to me, she was not with me. In fact, I am generally inhibited from this maneuver in public, except when I am in the company of cosmeticsexecutives (when it's considered unpleasant not to do it． or my female friends when it's a fun just-us-girlsmoment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would refrain. Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and an authority on American beauty rituals, says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's. Deploring thepractice as a waste of company time, trade journals advised managers to discourage it among clerical workers. But howmuch time could it take？ Certainly the concern was out of proportion with the number of minutes lost. Peiss theorizesthat it was the blatant assertion of a female practice in what had been an all-male province that disturbed critics. Peiss tells me that after the 30's, pulling out a compact was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice.I ask if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she wouldsave that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why？ Because it would be "a gesture of inappropriate femininity. "One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticksthat remain in place all day without retouching. It's amazing to think that in our talk-show society, where every sexual practice is openly discussed, a simplesex-specific gesture could still have the power to disturb. The move belongs in the female arsenal and, likeweapons, must be used with caution. According to the author, "My husband and I could have been a blank wall." (Line 6, Para. 1．most probably means "___________"
A. We were treated with an expressionless face.
B. We looked at the French woman expressionlessly.
C. We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.
D. We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.
Married, With Money
You fight over finances, right？ Here' s how to keep the cash - and the passion.
Brian Greenberg is a college financial planner, but on a recent morning he felt more like a marriage counselor. The couple sitting in his office, near Cherry Hill, New Jersey, was seeking advice about applying for financial aid for the man's son from a previous marriage. "When they walked in," Greenberg recalls, "I could feel the hostility."
The income from the wife' s business, which she had started before they married, was modest, but it was just enough to limit the amount of aid the son could receive. The husband wanted her to incorporate to reduce their income, thereby allowing the son to qualify for more aid. She didn't want to go through the complicated incorporation process, but felt pressured by her husband. "He was saying, ' I' m entitled to do what I want because I' m making the money that pays the bills, '" recalls Greenberg. "That kind of thinking undermines a relationship."
Much of this type of animosity (仇恨) can be avoided if only couples would talk about money before they get married, says Mary Claire Allvine, a certified financial planner in Chicago and Atlanta and co - author of The 7 Most Important Money Decisions You'll Ever Make. Without this talk, it' s unlikely that couples have an actual plan for their lives together.
Studies have shown that disagreements over money are the No. 1 cause of friction in a marriage. And for some, they're the No. 1 reason for divorce.
So why can some couples weather financial ups and downs while others split over a household budget？ The key to success is to find the common ground - the shared values about how, as partners, you want to live your lives together. Here are some tips for executing a money plan without losing the passion.
Think big and put it in buckets. After couples have paid their fixed expenses, they often find themselves disagreeing over how to spend what' s left - pay off the credit cards or get that HDTV one of them has been craving.
To avoid such clashes, talk about your dreams. Allvine' s research says couples who don't get bogged down with day -to- day budgeting details are usually the most successful with their money. "You can't say to the spender, 'Okay, you can only spend $ 50 a month. ' It' s like putting people on a diet where they can last for a while but then they just binge and eat a loaf of bread. The spender will say, 'I'll cut back. And then they start cutting out the extra cup of coffee. But it' s rarely the coffee that puts them in debt. It' s the home they can' t afford or the car they shouldn' t be driving."
Allvine recommends sorting your big dreams - starting a business, owning a home, saving for a vacation - into categories, or buckets. "When you name the bucket, you know what that money is for, and you won' t use it for anything else. That' s how couples get to their goals - they pay themselves first for the big things."
Everyone needs the prenuptial (结婚前的)talk. As today's couples marry later, or remarry, they face big challenges combining resources. One spouse may bring children from a previous marriage; another might be caring for elderly parents. The new- think says, rich or not, you may need a prenuptial agreement. "It makes sense to think things through early on," says Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Capital Management in Chicago.
But Carrie Schwab - Pomerantz, co - author, with her father, Charles Schwab, of It Pays to Talk, has a different take: "Not everyone needs to sign a prenuptial document- but everyone should have the prenuptial conversation."
The point, says Schwab - Pomerantz, is to get an idea of each other's money personality. "If someone has a lot of debt. that can reflect some personality issues that his or her partner needs to know ab

Workplace 2020
—By Susan Paynter
It's a summer morning in the year 2020 and not yet 7: 30 a.m. Jane Han son, flushed from her early morning run along the river, sets down in her work station at home. She is still in her sweats, and this is the first day all week she has slid her knees under a desk.
For Jane and millions of other so-called knowledge workers, the job is wherever she is. Today, it's at home. A graphics designer, Jane has a current assignment to develop a new logo for a sports shoe for a client. She's delight ed to have the project, since it gives her a chance to work with Aki, her in ternational partner inYokohama (横滨), Japan. Today, Aki's face pops up on her computer screen as she checks "see-mail," a type of communication that replaced E-mail a few years ago. With a click, Jane can call up the video image and voice of each person who left her a message the previous night.
This morning, Jane calls Aki back and they see and hear each other via video phone. They collaborate on an interactive screen almost as if they are standing side by side at the same drawing board.
Jane's husband, George, can often be found working at home as well. "Going to the office" has become an option, not a necessity, with the advent of the wireless computer. George teaches at a nearby university, and often broadcasts his lectures via satellite. But this morning he is at an on-campus seminar. The kids are also out of the house today attending classes at a nearby language and science lab. Jane is grateful to have the house to herself today as she and Aki work on the logo.
The Virtual Office
Twenty years from now, as many as 25 million Americans—nearly 20 percent of the workforce—will stretch the boundaries between home and work far beyond the lines drawn now. Technology has already so accelerated the pace of change in the workplace that few futurists are willing to predict hard numbers. But nearly all trend-trackers agree that much of the next century's work will be decentralized, done at home or in satellite offices on a schedule tailored to fit worker's lives and the needs of their families. Even international boundaries may blur as the economy goes truly global.
Between 1990 and 1998, telecommuting doubled from about 3 percent to 6 percent of the working population—or about 8.2 million people. The numbers are expected to double again in far less time, with as much as 12 percent of the population telecommuting by the year 2005, says Charlie Grantham, director of the Institute for the Study of Distributed Work in Windsor, California.
Wireless computers and seamless communications systems are already in the works and fueling the trend. The video phone is not far off, an advance that many futurists believe will make even more companies comfortable with employees working from home. "Now, we communicate at the level of radio," says Gerald Celente, author of Trends 2000 and director of The Trends Research Institute of Rhinebeck, New York. E-mail and the telephone are primitive, he argues, and make people feel cut off from co-workers. But once everyone can see each other on the screen, long-distance relationships will feel more intimate.
What about the office？ "Today's offices are a direct descendant of the factory," says Gil Gordon, a consultant based in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, who has spent nearly two decades advising companies on how to institute telecommuting and more flexible work patterns. "They may be better lighted, but they're much the same."
Still, Gordon does not think the office building will vanish altogether. Rather, the office of 2020 will be just one place
