The state of California is working to say goodbye to the gender wage gap.
Governor Jerry Brown has signed the Fair Pay Act, a new law that forces
(1) .progress..who pay more to a man working the same (2)..opportunities..as a
woman to prove that the pay is based on elements other than (3) .gender. It is not
just a gender problem-it is a (4) .family .problem or a human problem.
Aileen Rizo, a math consultant at the Fresno County Office of Education,
discovered that one of her male (5) ..colleagues..earned $12,000 more per year

than her, even though he had fewer years of (6) ..experience..and education.
Over the course of a 40-year career, the average American woman will lose
out on about $431,000 as the (7) ..result..of the wage gap, according to the Center
for American Progress. And the pay gap starts early: If a woman earns less in her
first job, when she takes on a new (8) ..role..and her new employer sets her

has closed the gaps for women.

A lot of (1) ..progress...with women’s rights has been made in Korea, but
there are still some misunderstandings and prejudices that are blocking gender
equality.
The first misunderstanding is the idea that if women gain more
(2) ..opportunities., men will lose out. This is not accurate: gender equality does
not harm men, but it allows women, how make up half the world’s population, to
achieve their full (3) ..potential.. Men and women should develop together, and
this would help overcome the low (4) ..growth..and secure sustainable

development.
The second misunderstanding is that childcare and housework are jobs for
women, and that work-life balance issues are female (5) ..concerns... It was true
in the past: women took (6) .care..of housework and childcare, and men
financially supported their families.
The Korean government is carrying out various (7) ..policies..to support
work-life balance, including a(n) (8) ..increase. in the number of daycare centres


and a system for childcare leave. But here is the third misunderstanding: people
think that by using these (9) ..services., they are creating difficulty for their
employers and colleagues. The (10) ..result..is they don’t use them.
We can only have gender equality when we change our misunderstandings
and prejudices.

Read the passage carefully, and do the tasks that follow.
Working mothers are the ones who move out of the house for the purpose
of earning money and also maintain household chores. Every woman at home


prefers to work in order to balance the financial and the other basic needs of the
family.
The children of working mothers become smarter, more active, and more
independent as compared to the children of non-working mothers. This is because
of the fact that the mothers being working have to move out of the house leaving
all the household chores intact, the children understand their responsibilities and
manage to do all their tasks without being dependent on others, so they become
smart, active, and independent enough.

The working mothers are now helped by their husbands in household
chores after returning from work. By seeing fathers being a helping hand to
mothers, children learn good habits and inculcate manners of helping others as
well as their mothers, thus in this way good habits are inculcated in them.
A working mother also adds to the advantage of helping the family
financially. It is beneficial as a woman becomes a helping hand to the husband in
terms of money. Therefore, the family runs in a very smooth way without any
financial difficulty and the kids also get the best as parents are able to afford all
necessities due to a good income level.
The mothers, when work, become an inspiration for their kids as they
look up to their mums and say that they aspire to be like their mums in the near
future. Working mums not only work but also look after their children without
any difficulty. So such kids need to get an inspiration at home, and they also learn
to do hard work in their life.
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing
the answer in each blank. There are two extra definitions.
Answer
A
B
.................
1. intact (adj)
A. to make someone have a strong feeling

E. complete and in the original state
F. someone or something that gives you ideas
for doing something
G. to fix beliefs or ideas in someone’s mind
Đáp án: 1-E; 2-G; 3-F; 4-C; 5-D

6. Why does every woman at home prefer to go to work?

family.
7. Why do the children of working mothers become smarter, more active, and
more independent?

without being dependent on others.
8. How can children learn good habits from their fathers at home?

their mothers.

The family runs in a very smooth way without any financial difficulty, and the
kids also get the best as parents are able to afford all necessities.

Because they not only work but also look after their children without any
difficulty
Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each
question.
A pioneer leader for women’s rights, Susan Anthony became one of the
leading women reformers of the 19th century. In Rochester, New York, she began
her first public crusade on behalf of temperance, the habit of not drinking alcohol.

The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of women and children who
suffered from alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly against slavery and
for women’s rights. Anthony helped write the history of woman suffrage.
At the time Anthony lived, women did not have the right to vote. Because
she voted in the 1872 election, a US official arrested Anthony. She hoped to
prove the women had the legal right to vote under the provisions of the 14 th and
15th Amendments to the Constitution. At her trial, a hostile federal judge found
her guilty and fined her $100, which she refused to pay.
Anthony did not work alone. She worked with reformers of women’s rights
such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Amelia Bloomer. Susan worked for the
American Anti-Slavery Society with Frederick Douglas, a fugitive slave and
black abolitionist.
On July 2nd 1979, the US Mint honored her by issuing the Susan Anthony
dollar coin. Although Anthony did not live to see the fruits of her efforts, the

establishment of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.

question.
The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in
simple terms. Slowly, there is a growing number of professional women and
professional women’s associations. More women continue to work after getting
married and having children. However, many companies have separate
programmes for women, usually non-career development, and follow practices
that would be considered discriminatory in other societies. For a typical couple,
the female spouse is still generally expected to do all of the cleaning, cooking,
and other chores, whether she is working or not. Single women are said to be
enjoying their lives, spending much money on travel abroad and shopping.
Housewives are active in networking themselves for various objectives, for
example volunteer activities, community services, recycling activities, study
groups, and many others. The traditional Japanese value of “good wife, good
mother” is changing.

Unlike other countries where a couple is the usual social unit, in Japan it is
typical for only the husband to be invited to business gatherings or to weddings
for company employees. Exceptions are frequently made for foreign visitors
depending on the occasion, but wives should not take their exclusion as a
personal insult.
