(C)

   I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and somehow got a live-in job taking care of a woman who had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed（瘫痪）.

The woman had an electric wheelchair. She could move her head and arms but not her hands or fingers. She had this clamp（夹子）attached to her arm and I’d have to open it and put a cup or a pencil in it and then she could move it. She would tell me how to do things. She would instruct me in great detail on the correct way to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks and pillow cases. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed and tuck (塞)the corners. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to grab it and do it herself. But she never yelled（大叫）or scolded. Only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.

Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt, the right way to do the collar and sleeves. Now that I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.

    My husband was supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

    After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my present job in a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and told his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

　　 But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases. Now I am making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I would do many things that we had always dreamed of, but we do not, for he is unhappy.

   We fight about little things and my husband is very critical in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there will be a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.

   I love my husband and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I don’t know how to settle this problem. Can you give me some advice? How can I keep my husband on one hand and my new career on the other?

   Please help.

Some universities, like Oxford and Cambridge in England, are residential. This means that during the university terms the students live in the universities.

Other universities are non-residential. Some of the students at these universities can live in a university hotel, but many live at home or in lodgings(寄宿舍)and have to travel daily to their lectures. Large cities often have universities of this kind. Sometimes the students have to spend quite a lot of time on their journeys.

Full-time students are also called internal students, because they spend all their time at universities. There are also external students who cannot attend the university full-time but who are studying for its examinations. They are part-time students. They have to do other work during the day, usually to earn their living, and they study in the evening.

External students are often older than full-time internal students. Sometimes they can attend lectures in the evening, but many of them have to study by correspondence. They write at home the work that is set by their tutors(指导教师). Then they have to post their work to their tutors and the tutors post corrections and advice back to them.

In some countries, “Universities of the Air” can now help students to receive degrees. After special lectures on radio or television, these students, too, have to send set work for correction by correspondence. However, for a few weeks each year they can attend special vacation courses at universities.
