题目内容
7.A few months ago,I was picking up the children at school.Emily,another mother that I knew well,rushed up to me.She was filled with anger."Do you know what you and I are?"she demanded.Before I could answer,she gave out the reason for her question.She had just returned from renewing her driver's license at a government office.Asked by the woman recorder to state her job,Emily hesitated,uncertain how to classify herself."What I mean is,"explained the woman,"do you have a job,or are you just a…?""Of course I have a job,"answered Emily."I'm a mother.""We don't list‘mother'as an occupation…‘housewife'covers it,"said the recorder emphatically (强调地).I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation.This time it was at our own Town Hall.The clerk was a woman."And what is your occupation?"she asked.What made me say it,I do not know.The words simply jumped out."I'm…a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations."The clerk paused,her ball-point pen frozen in mid air,and looked up as though she had not heard right.I repeated the title slowly.
"Might I ask,"said the clerk with new interest,"just what you do in your field?"Coolly,I heard myself reply,"I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field.I'm working for my masters (the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters).I often work 14hours a day (24is more like it).But the job is more challenging than most jobs and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money."
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form,stood up and personally showed me out.As I drove into our driveway,I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13,7,and 3.And upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.I felt successful.
Motherhood…what a glorious career,especially when there is a title on the door.
