Descriptions written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor S5.
of Mexico City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found S6.
there, are very dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City today -
the poor can still be numbered in millions.
The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity, but
behind it lies two myths: the myth of the city as a promised land, S7.
that attracts immigrants from rural poverty and brings it flooding S8.
into city centers, and the myth of the country as a Garden of Eden, S9.
which, a few generations late, sends them flooding out again to S10.
the suburbs.

Passage 1
Jean Brown has been married for 12 years. She has 3 children, and lives in the suburb outside Columbus, Ohio. When her youngest child reached school age, Jean decided to go back to work. She felt that she should contribute to the household financies. Her salary can make a difference between the financial struggle and secure financial situation for her family. Jean also felt bored and frustrated in her role as a homemaker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her home. Jean was worried about her children's adjustment to this new situation. But she arranged for them to go stay with the woman nearby after school each afternoon. They seem to be happy with the arrangement. The problem seem to be between Jean and her husband, Bill. When Jean was at home all day, she was able to clean the house, go grocery shopping, wash the clothes, take care of the children and cook 2 or 3 meals each day.
