 likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions. This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. Question: When she was over fifty, a late nineteenth-century mother   _ . Answer:

A: was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to


Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: We're unleashing the five most popular songs in the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, for the week ending November 15, 2014. We don't get any new songs this week...but things do get shaken up a bit. It all starts in fifth place, where Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj dip a notch with "Bang Bang." Jessie says she wanted to assemble this lineup for a long time - she says she only met the other two after the song went to number one on iTunes. Jessie also says she wanted to use Nicki five years ago on her debut single, "Do It Like A Dude." Taking over fourth place is Maroon 5 with "Animals." This band has been around for 20 years...but not always under this name. The Los Angeles group formed in 1994 as Kara's Flowers, and released one album under that name in 1997. Four years later the members re-grouped as Maroon 5, and the rest is chart history. Holding in third place is Tove Lo with "Habits (Stay High)." Where did that name come from? This Swedish artist's real name is Ebba Tove Elsa Nillson. "Lo" is Swedish for lynx - a species of wildcat that Tove says she fell in love with as a little girl. After eight weeks, Meghan Trainor falls off the Hot 100 pedestal: "All About That Bass" falls to second place. Last week, she and Miranda Lambert sang this song at the Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, and Meghan kicks off a headlining North American tour next February in Vancouver, Canada. Taylor Swift re-takes the Hot 100 title, with "Shake It Off" - giving her three total weeks at the top - but that's only the beginning of her phenomenal week. Taylor's 1989 album just opened at number one by selling 1.2 million domestic copies. That's the largest sales week since The Eminem Show sold 1.3 million copies, way back in 2002. That's a wrap for this week, but as you know, the chart is always changing. Come back in seven days for an all-new lineup. Question: What is TRUE according to the passage? Answer:

A: "Habits (Stay High)" is sung by a Swedish singer Ebba Tove Elsa Nillson.


Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things. However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the "good old days", _. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication _, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effect to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other person off. With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts  are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item. Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back... Question: The author explains "efficiency comes with a price" by   _ . Answer:

A:
using examplesWhere to get tubal ligation in Houston,Texas

Hi. 21 year old woman and a lesbian. I have this irrational fear that I’ll get pregnant even thought I’m asexual and only like women. Maybe it’s because I have faced sexual assault in the past from men. Anyway, I know Texas has an abortion legislation in place and I just want to have peace of mind, and I know my fear is irrational but I need my tubes cut/tied so I can be okay mentally. Does anyone have a list of OBGYN or doctors who can do it for me in Houston,Texas. I just don’t know where to start.An internal series of research findings at the company detailed how young adult users were disproportionately affected by the negative mental health implications of Instagram specifically, including (most seriously) increased thoughts of suicide. And researchers at the company have known about these negative effects without publicizing them for years. Since 2019, Instagram has known that they “make body image issues worse for 1 in 3 teen girls.” And yet, the number of influencers who peddle dangerous diet myths and other impossible beauty standards has exploded, creating “a relationship of dependency between influencers and their followers." Critically, body image issues are often correlated with other mental health issues, including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts.
These new insights into the serious, often harmful influence of social media on mental health further cement what clinical research has found over the past decade. According to research, 90% of adolescents use social media regularly. But social media itself is designed to be addictive, leading young adults into a sometimes negative feedback loop of using social media to feel better only to then overuse it and feel worse.
Research has definitively found that young adults’ social media may be related to problems with emotion regulation, which refers to one’s ability to take control over their emotional state (Rasmussen et al 202). The relationship between social media use and depression specifically is a bit murkier, with some studies suggesting that increased social media use leads to increased rates of depression, while others found that social media interactions can be used as a way to combat some of the symptoms of depression. The correlation between social media and anxiety is clearer though: substantial research over the past several years has found that more screen time leads to more anxiety. Teens themselves have reported they feel addicted to social media, saying that there’s an intense separation anxiety when they’re away from their phones or computers for too long.
So what can parents and loved ones do?
How much time per day is dedicated to social media?
How are the decisions being made about your/their life influenced by social media?
Have you/they been putting off responsibilities to be on social media?
Why do you/they choose to engage with social media?
When used with proper boundaries, social media can absolutely provide a net benefit for those struggling with mental health. But it’s vitally important to remain vigilant about those same boundaries, be it through parental guidance or self-reflection or work with a therapist. If you suspect you or someone you love is suffering because of social media, or has developed an addiction to the technology, reach out for help. Acknowledging that additional support is needed takes courage, but it's the first step of the healing journey.
