Working Wives

　　We asked readers to write and tell us their opinions．Here are some of the hundreds of letters we received．?

　　I’m a(woman)photographer．I make plenty of money, travel a lot, and meet a lot of people．I enjoy my work, and would hate to stay at home．I would never marry a man who wanted me to give up my work．

　　O’Leary

　　At present there are over 1,000,000 unemployed men in Britain．If a woman gets a job, she puts one more man out of work．Perhaps that man has a wife and twelve children to support．Let women stay at home where they belong to．

　　Ted Stubbs

　　I am a mother of twelve children．When I go to work, my husband looks after the children．He is very good with the children and enjoys staying at home with them．And I enjoy my job as a bus driver．

　　Boot Battersea

　　We are twin sisters, who both got married recently．One of us(Doreen)kept her job．The other(Doris)gave up her jobs．But Doris gets bored staying at home, and Doreen gets bored going out to work．So now Doreen works for a week, while Doris stays at home．Then Doris does Doreen’s job for a week, while Doreen stays at home．At work, they never know if it’s Doreen who’s working today!

     I was waiting for the bus to take me down from the Janiculum Hill into the city of Roma when I turned
and saw black smoke rising into the sky. It seemed to be coming from my studio, a small, cabin-like study
built up against the ancient Roman wall. I'd arrived there three weeks before with my most important thing:
the first draft (手稿) of my new novel. 
    The smoke? I thought of the electric coil (电热棒) I'd been using to heat water for the endless cups of tea
I need to fuel my writing. What if I had started heating water and forgotten about it? I supposed the coil had
turned over from the cup and started a fire that would not only destroy the studio but also the pages of work
I had spent years on and I could never rewrite. 
    I hurried back, but soon saw that the smoke came from the old leaves and branches in the neighbor's
garden. I felt relieved (轻松的). But since I was now so close, I went into my study to have a look anyway.
    The electric coil was red, and the water I'd meant to use for tea before I left had all boiled out of the cup
that had already turned over and the red-hot coil had toppled (倾斜) onto the desk and was burning the wood.
My pages that might have burnt in a second were only inches away. 
    Drawn by the smoke, I'd come back just in time. "Thank God" I said. Of course, thank my luck.
