87.9 Women in the Modern World
Women are playing an increasingly important part in society today. In many countries, more and more women are no longer housekeepers. They have their own jobs as workers, farmers or even leaders. We can say that almost all jobs that men can do are done equally well by women. Women are no longer looked down upon by society.
With the changes in their social role, women's position in the family has been improved as well. Husbands and wives are now more equal in the family. They cope with problems of daily life together and share happiness with each other. Also, in today's families, it is more and more rare to find women busy with cooking while the men are sitting comfortably in armchairs, reading newspapers.
In spite of these changes, the liberation of women has not been completely realized. A number of men still jealously guard against their rights and regard women as incapable creatures. Few women are allowed to attend important international meetings dominated by men. That is really the problem we should solve immediately.
88. 6 An Early Morning Walk
One morning I got up very early, and everything around was very quiet. As I had nothing to do, I decided to take a walk to the park. While I was walking, I found that there were only some young men running in the street. They looked healthy and happy.
When I arrived at the park, I found, to my surprise, that there were so many people there. Some of them were doing morning exercise. Others were practicing kung fu. The rest, especially old people, were taking walks. They seemed to look younger than their real ages.
An early morning walk can help one to keep fit and work efficiently. It can change one's mood and make one's life happier. I think that everyone, young or old, female or male, should get up early and take morning walks. Taking early morning walks makes a man healthy and wise.
89. 1 The Tape Recorder
The tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented. Nowadays, almost every family has a tape recorder. It can record people's voices or popular songs or some other things that people would like to listen to more than once. Tape recorders have been warmly welcomed since the day they were invented.
This device is useful in many ways. For example, a reporter can use it in interviews instead of the old, less accurate means of writing them in a notebook. Also, in studying foreign languages, students can use it to improve their listening ability. Moreover, they can record their own voice to improve their pronunciation in the foreign language.
However, it can also become a nuisance. Your hearing can be seriously harmed if you listen to a recorder with the volume too high. And, if you can't control yourself, you can waste a lot of time listening to a recorder. So, if used properly, the recorder will serve you well. If used improperly, it can do harm to you.
90. 1 What Would Happen If There Were No Power
1. Ever since early this century, electricity has become an essential part of our modern life. It plays an important role in many fields such as industry, agriculture and the daily life of men. Electricity is a source of energy that makes it possible for the factories to turn out products and for people to create comfortable living conditions, for example.
2. If there were no electric power, things would be quite different. Machines could not run and people would have to fall back on their hands to produce what is essential for them to keep alive. Traffic would have to stop at night because there would be no lights in the street. A world in darkness would no longer be a pleasant one. In a word, things would be in a mess.
