請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題:
Why would woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some mothers say they need time to be alone. “At
home the only place where I can be by myself is the bathroom,” one woman said. At Mother’s Camp a woman has a
room to herself. She can sleep, read, or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, “Mom, what’s for
dinner?” No husband will say, “Honey, I can’t find any clean socks.” Some women go to Mother’s Camp not to be
alone, but to be with women who are in familiar situations. “I work full time and have two kids,” one woman says. “I
take care of my husband, too. I’m incredibly busy. At Mother’s Camp I meet other women who are working and
raising families. We talk and talk. It helps me to know that other women have the same problems I do.”Actually, many
women have the same problems as she does. Almost 50 percent of women in the United States work outside the home.
Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job—taking care of their homes and families. These
working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
【題組】48 According to the passage, what do women do at the Mother’s Camp beside sleeping and watching TV?
(A)writing diary (B)keeping notes (C)reading (D)having fun at the beach
