Every morning Molly gave her father the lunch bag before he set off for work. One morning,besides his usual lunch bag.Molly handed him a second paper bag. "Why two bags?"her father asked. "The other is something else, "Molly answered. "What's in it?"asked her father. "Just some stuff.Take it with you."Molly replied. Not wanting to discuss the matter, put both bags into his briefcase, he kissed Molly and rushed off.At midday he opened Molly's bag and took out the contents:three small stones, a plastic dinosaur,a tiny seashell,a small doll,and 13 pennies...The busy lather smiled,finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket.Molly's stuff included. That evening,Molly ran up behind him as he was reading a newspaper. "Where's my bag,Daddy?"asked Molly. "What bag?"her father responded. "The one I gave you this morning, "said Molly. "I left it at the office.Why?"said her father. "I forgot to put this note in it, "Molly said. "and besides,Daddy,the things in the sack are those I really like-I thought you might like to play with them.You didn't lose the bag,did you, Daddy?"

So back he went to the office.Just ahead of the night guard,he picked up the paper bag. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully.The bag didn't look SO good,but the stuff was all there and that was of great importance. After dinner,he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell.Everything had a story or a memory. "Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life, "he thought. We should all cherish the moment with the people we love.That's what really matters. It's so simple and so easily forgotten. How did her father deal with the bag after he opened it? A) He kept it in the drawer. B) He took it back home. C) He threw it into the wastebasket. D) He put it on his table.

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of "mastery" - feeling important and worthwhile - and the sources of what we call a sense of "pleasure" - finding life enjoyable - are not always the same. Women often are told "You can't have it all." Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: "You chose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life." or "You have a wonderful husband and children--What's all this about wanting a career?" But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the "doing" side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimensions, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the "feeling" side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa . For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time. The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and remedy past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are critical. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly higher in mastery than did women who were not employed. A woman's well-being is enhanced when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, despite warnings about stress and strain. The author's attitude towards women having a career is_. A) negative B) positive C) neutral D) realistic
