WOMEN TAKING THE HUSBAND’S NAMEMany women in Western society, aware of the power of names to influence identity, are aware that
choosing how to identify themselves after marriage can be a significant decision. They may follow the
tradition of taking their husband's last name, hyphenate their (25) name and their husband's, or keep
their birth name. One fascinating survey reveals that a woman's choice is (26) to reveal a great deal
about herself and her relationship with her husband. Women who take their husband's name place the most
importance (27) relationships. On the other hand, women who keep their birth names put their personal
concerns ahead of relationships and social expectations. Female forms of address influence others'
perceptions as well. Research (28) in the late 1980s showed that women who choose the title Ms.
give the impression of being more achievement oriented, socially self-confident, and dynamic but less
interpersonally warm than counterparts (29) prefer the more traditional forms Miss or Mrs.

Being repeatedly late may just be accidental – or could it show a deeply rooted psychological desire
to express your own superiority? When I worked in an office, meetings would often start late, usually
because of a certain individual. Then they would overrun and the whole day lost its shape. But the individual
was high-ranking and self-important: nobody challenged. So what are the ethics of lateness?
There‘s a psychotherapist called Irvin Yalom who argues that all behaviour reflects psychology. Just
as people who like to be on time are motivated by certain deep-seated beliefs, so those who make others wait
are acting out an inner agenda, often based on an acute sense of power. There‘s famous footage in which
Silvio Berlusconi kept Angela Merkel waiting while he made a call on his mobile. It speaks volumes.
But that is when all lateness is in one‘s control. What about when your train is cancelled or your
flight is delayed or you had to wait longer for the plumber to arrive? In such cases, there‘s not a lot of
psychology involved. Or is there? Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those
left waiting, while others might secretly enjoy the power of their absence.
The essential fact is that lateness means breaking a convention – you can only be late in respect of a
time agreed with other people. Regardless of psychology, it has a social value. And when we treat other
people‘s time as less valuable than our own, we treat them as inferior.Question 26. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Lateness indicates superiority of important individuals.B. Social values of individuals are fostered through lateness.
