Read the passage carefullyand choose the correct answer.

It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is
not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a

man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in
the kitchen and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go

to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually

occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often
considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered
the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters.

Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down
from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the
family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing
and care, and housework such as washing and cooking.

husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to
support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in
rural areas.

Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to
men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as
intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man
can: they produce children.

26. Which is not women's role in the former days?

A. Working in authority B. Doing housework

C. Doing cooking D. Bearing and rearing children
27. Years ago, women are not allowed ________.

A. to work in the kitchen B. to go to school

C. to do housework D. to stay at home with their parents

28. What did women have to suffer?

C. Illiteracy D. Choosing a husband themselves

29. The outdated 'beliefs about women's roles ________.
A. have been eradicated completely

B. disappeared soon after the women's liberation movement
C. still exist at present

D. was forced to change after the women's liberation movement
30. According to the text, women in the 21st century ________.

burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity- Converting waste
products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experimental work is being done
to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven
expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal
power is also being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power
derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the
electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another
potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides,
and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in
ocean water to produce energy.

Carson's first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent
reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea
Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean's surface, emphasizing human
history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality.
Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and
frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her
nontechnical readers.

In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It
proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how
they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time,
spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda
to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the

President's Science Advisory Committee.

Being a country of different cultural races, there is a great variety of wedding styles in the

United States. However, the majority of weddings nowadays still follow a number of traditions. One
of the traditions which dated back to the nineteenth century is about what a bride should wear on her
wedding day. It is commonly believed that on her wedding day, the bride should carry with her
"something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue". This is because each of
these things has a special meaning for the bride on this big day.

When a bride wears "something old", it reminds her of her family and the past. Thus, some
brides may wear their mother’s wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. "Something new" that the
bride wears means good luck and hope for a happy future with her husband. This new item is usually
a pair of new shoes, or it can be a wedding dress or something else. When the bride wears "something
borrowed", it symbolizes the help and support she gets from her friends and her family whenever she
needs. An example of "something borrowed" can be a married friend's bridal veil or friend’s

handkerchief. "Something blue" means trust and faith between the bride and the groom. Nowadays,
some brides are creative with this item. For example, they may have their fingernails painted blue.
Nevertheless, the most popular blue item is the garter that the bride wears on her leg. Things are
changing fast; however, the rituals about what the bride should wear on her wedding day remain kept
strictly by a lot of women in the USA.
