QUESTIONS 36 - 40: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
by

circling letter A, B, C or D as the correct answers and then mark your choice on the answer
sheet.

Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die
younger

than women? Is it because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before
that
happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first.
Many
explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger physically, yet

women
can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid
or
ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some men, when they
are
upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so
that
they bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars
where
there is a definite chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight
against
and defeat. All these make men feel they live in a rational
world.

So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything
that
makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry he is refusing to
accept
that his emotions are part of him. Of course some men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable
of
crying in public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time. We need to
cry

because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer we are not really alive at all. Suffering can
be
creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are
living
creatively and adding something to the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and
therefore
they die earlier. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way
-
with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my
theory
of course. Have you a better
one?
