Women enjoy free time less than men, a new study finds. And its getting worse.

When men have free time, they feel less rushed. However, women do not feel less rushed after work.

The results suggest that mothers in particular feel the pressures of children and housework even when they have time to relax. The meanings of free time for men and women are quite different, said Saver, the assistant professor of this study.

The study was based on two national surveys, one in the mid-1970s involving 708 people and the other in the late 1990s with 1,151 participants.

The participants kept diaries on how they spent a specific 24-hour period. They were also asked how often they felt rushed during a typical day -- never, sometimes or always.

The workload increased for women between 1975 and 1998, especially in comparison with men.

In 1975, women and men had similar amounts of free time, but by 1998 women had had less leisure time than men.

tWomen worked more hours in paid employment in 1998 than they did in 1975, Saver said. tThe amount of time they spent in household labor decreased during that period, but not enough to offset (抵消) the increase in paid work hours.t

The chance of feeling sometimes or always rushed was more than twice as high for married women with children than it was for single, childless women, But men who were married and had children didn't feel more rushed than single, childless men.

Saver said other research suggests women still feel more responsible for taking care of children and housework, even if men are doing more than they once did.

Washington: A research conducted at the University of Maryland looks at the numerous complex reasons as to why young children decide to include or exclude (排斥) other kids from their group of friends.

It suggests that the kids' decision-making process is much more complex than previously believed.

tThey take into account group information, ranging from cliques (小圈子) and networks, when deciding what makes a group work well. Sometimes kids are excluded because they lack social skills, but a lot of time it has nothing to do with that. Instead it has to do with what we refer to as 'group membership' such as gender, race, nation, and culture,t says Professor Melanie Killen, the Associate Director of the Centre for Children Relationships and Culture at Maryland, who led the 4-year project.#p#分页标题#e#

Reporting their findings in the journal, the researcher said whatever was the reason, individuals who experienced long-term exclusion (排斥) from the group of friends suffered from depression, anxiety and loneliness.

The study looked at two models to define how children make decisions regarding acceptance of other kids in their group -- the individual social deficit model and the inter-group social cognition (认同) model. While the former says that children's rejection occurs due to social deficits like shyness, wariness or fearfulness, the latter says that it happens because of group dynamics, prejudice and exclusion.

It was also found that the age of children was also a factor that influenced their decisions regarding other kids' acceptance as friends.

tWith age, kids become more aware of group dynamics, conventions, customs, and rituals. With this comes a greater concern about group functioning, which can lead to exclusion which can be negative from a social justice viewpoint,t says Killen.

The researcher believes that her study may have many benefits, as it could provide insights into how to help when children are rejected by their peers.

9. While making friends, kids think more about the following EXCEPT ______.

A. social skills B. culture C. race D. gender

B. remind children to be careful while making friends

C. seek ways to help kids excluded by their peers

D. stop the children belonging to the inter-group social cognition model

A. keep their groups purer

B. make their groups more socially powerful

C. refuse other customs and cultures

D. prove their groups to be strict

With nearly 22 percent of Japans population already aged 65 years old or older.

Moreover, a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren. That's where cutting-edge technology steps in.

At a home-care exhibition in Tokyo, many new products were shown. Buyers crowded round a product called My Spoon Feeding Robot. It can help elderly or disabled people to eat with a spoon-and-fork-fitted arm. Operating a stick with his chin, the designer moved the arm toward a block of soft tofu, skillfully getting the fork to break off a small piece. The arm then returned to a set position in front of his mouth, allowing him to bite and swallow.

tIt's all about making people able to help themselves. We want to give the elderly control over their own lives,t the designer said. The company has already sold 300 of the feeding robots, which cost $3,500 each.

There is also a car designed for easy entry. It is mainly for people who have to use wheelchairs or those who have difficulty walking. Its slogan is, tA car that's more patient than your daughter.t
