Many of the home electric goods which are advertised asliberating the modern women tend to have the oppositeeffect, so they simply __1__ change the nature of work insteadof eliminting it. Machines have a certain novelty value, as toysfor adults. It is certainly less __2__ tired to put clothes in awashing machine, but the time saved does __3__ not reallyamount too much: the machine has to be watched, the __4__clothes have to be carefully sorted out, stains removed by hand, water changed, clothes takenout, aired and ironed. It would be more liberal to pack it all off to a laundary and not necessarily__5__ more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Nevertheless, if you really want tosave time you do not make __6__ cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If onecompares the image of the woman in the women's magazine to the goods advertised __7__ bythose periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially.
A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving device, follow it up with a complexrecipe on the next page; on __8__ any account hint at the notion that a woman could get herselfa __9__ job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasize __10__ the creativeaspect of her funtion as a housewife.
參考答案及解析:
1.so--because.第一句話里兩個(gè)分句之間的關(guān)系應(yīng)該是主句為結(jié)果，從句為原因，所以so改為because。
2.as--like.當(dāng)as做介詞使用時(shí)往往表示“作為，當(dāng)作”，而這里的意思是“像……”，所以應(yīng)改為like，因?yàn)楫?dāng)like作介詞用時(shí)，表示“像……”。
3.tired--tiring.tired形容人，表示“累了”，如果說某物使人累，應(yīng)用tiring。
4.too--to.這里amount應(yīng)和介詞to組成詞組表示“達(dá)到(多少)”，如：That plan will neveramount to anything.
5.liberal--liberating.liberal的含義是“自由的，解放的，大方的”，含義不貼切，應(yīng)換成liberating，意思是“將(某人)解放了的”。
6.Nevertheless--Similary/Likewise.這里上下句的關(guān)系式并列的，平行的，不能用nevertheless引導(dǎo)，應(yīng)換成Similarly或者Likewise。
7.to--with.compare...to...的意思是“將……比作……”，有比喻的含義，人這里是“把……和……相比較”。
8.complex--complicated.complex的意思是“(由于有許多關(guān)聯(lián)部分組成，所以某結(jié)構(gòu))很復(fù)雜”。
9.any--no.由于后面有but，所以這里應(yīng)把a(bǔ)ny換成no，表示“無論如何不能……”。
10.^emphasize--and; emphasize--emphasizing.emphasize分句和foster分句如果是并列的話，應(yīng)該加上一個(gè)連詞，不能僅用逗號(hào)連接，或者把emphasize變成-ing形式構(gòu)成分句修飾foster分句。
