e than a happy marriage and family in the countryside. The average 29-year-old women now long for a return to the lifestyle. of a 1950s housewife. The modern women are more realistic. Research into the attitudes of 1500 women with an average age of 29 found that 61 percent believe it is “unhelpful” and “annoying” for the women to deal with jobs, motherhood and social lives at the same time. More than two-thirds agree that the man should be the main provider in a family, while 70 percent do not want to work as hard as their mother’s generation. On average, the women questioned want to settle down with their partner by 30 and have their first child a year later. So, after decades of increasing divorce rates and a rise in birth outside marriage, it appears the current generation of mothers is returning to more traditional social values. As the survey showed, nine out of ten young women would rather be married when they have children, while 75 percent believe that modern couples do not make an enough effort to stay together when there is something wrong between them. A quarter of those questioned intend to give up work and be a full-time mother when they start a family, with just one percent saying their career will remain a “top priority” once they have children.

of Independence. War against the British had already been going on for over a year, so the declaration came as the climax of years of stormy events in America.

The impetus for the American Revolution was the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ended the struggle between the British and French for control over North America. Since the colonists were no longer frightened by the French, they ceased to rely upon the British for protection and were not as submissive as they were formerly. On the other hand, the British regarded the colonies as a source of revenue and began to impose unfair taxes upon them. The Sugar Act in 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765 were so eagerly opposed by discontented colonists that rioting broke out. The Stamp Act was repealed in 1766 as a result of the riots.

The British continued their policy of taxation without collaboration with their once obedient subjects. The Townshend Acts (a series of taxes on glass, lead, paper and tea) created such disgust that the citizens of Boston attacked British soldiers who fired upon them. A new tea tax in 1773 again consolidated Boston residents' disagreement. About fifty men disguised as Indians boarded British ships and got rid of their cargo of tea in protest against the tea tax. That was the famous Boston Tea Party. In reprisal, the British abolished the Bostonians' right to self-rule, and by passing what were referred to as Intolerable Acts in Boston, they infuriated all of the colonies and caused them to unite in protest.

Representatives from twelve colonies gathered in Philadelphia in 1774 to plan a stratagem to avoid British interference in trade and to protest the infamy of taxation without representation. The British responded that the colonies were in rebellion, and, since nothing would soothe either side, both sides prepared for war.

According to the passage, the first violent protest against the British was made in ______.

A．1776

B．1765

C．1770

D．1773
