Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
One of the most important factors arising from the feminist movement is the recognition that women,
should get equal pay for equal work, to see them as contributors and valued members of society. Today,
women are protected by the Sex Discrimination Act; however, inequality still persists. It also reveals
that the changing role of women in society by means of education as a way to promote themselves to the
level of their expertise is not working as effectively as it should.
In most fields of employment women's presence is felt and their voice is heard. Although there has
been progress in understanding the value of women's contributions in many employment fields, there are
still huge problems to resolve. Persistence of gender inequalities show that the proportion of women in
top jobs is minimal compared to the entire women's task force.
Even in the best qualified jobs women suffer the discrimination of being underpaid. So, what is the
problem? Nowadays many women are qualified for the career they have trained for, yet it seems that
only a small minority finds its way to the top. Are we back to the old theme of women raising children?
Time devoted to them and the home does not permit a total devotion to a .top job. The majority of
women who are successful, either do not have a family or rely heavily on grandmothers. Other women
find part-time more accommodating to their need or choice of life.
36. Thanks to the Sex Discrimination Act, women can get the real equality with men.
a. True

b. False

c. No information

37. Education has changed women's roles quite effectively.
a. True

b. False

c. No information

38. Women who have got the best qualified jobs are always paid as much as men are.
a. True

b. False

c. No information

39. The value of women's contributions in many employment fields has been recognized.
a. True

b. False

c. No information

40. All women who do full-time work are very successful in their employment.
a. True

b. False

c. No information
