                  　　passage Four
                  　　Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American
                  women who feel that are looked down upon by society. They say
                  it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work
                  　　People who hold the opposite opinion （mainly men） have an
                  answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility
                  than women； a married man is expected to earn money to support
                  his family and to make the important decision， and therefore
                  it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who
                  hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married
                  women working at all. When wives go out to work， they say， the
                  home and children are given no attention to. If women are
                  encouraged by equal pay to take full time job， they will be
                  unable to do the things. Women are best at making a
                  comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to
                  give up their present position in society.
                  　　This is exactly what they want to give up， the women who
                  disagree say. They want to escape from the limited place which
                  society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose
                  between a job and home life， or mixture of the two. Women have
                  the right of equal pay and equal opportunities.
                  　　These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by
                  using the famous saying， “All men are created equal.” They
                  point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all human
                  being are created equal.”
                  　　46. The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work” to
                  demand that _____.
                  　　A. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men's
                  　　B. men should be paid less than women
                  　　C. people doing harder work should earn more
                  　　D. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for
                  the same work
                  　　47.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up？
                  　　A. Their job
                  　　B. Their home life
                  　　C. Their right to pay
                  　　D. Their present position in society
                  　　48.People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____.
                  　　A. women can't do what men can
                  　　B. men can earn money more easily than women
                  　　C. men's responsibilities are different from women's
                  　　D. men have to work much harder than women
                  　　49. The women use the saying “all men created equal” to show
                  that ___.
                  　　A. the position of women has changed a little in modern time
                  　　B. in American society men and women should in modern time
                  　　C. men's right are always considered more important than
                  women's
                  　　D. men and women had equal power in early American society
                  　　50.The women who disagree say that _______.
                  　　A. if women are given equal pay， their opportunities will be
                  greater
                  　　B. women are no longer interested in taking care of their
                  homes
                  　　C. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they
                  live
                  　　D. women need opportunities to go out of the house more
often
                  　　Passage Five
                  　　Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His
                  mom came to the school and went on and on about Rick Jackson.
                  It seemed that she would never stop talking. “Somebody's got
                  to stop that boy！” she was shouting. “Rick's troubling
                  everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little
                  boys like Danny.”
                  　　Mrs. Green， Danny's teacher， was concerned a lot. “I didn't
                  know that Danny was being picked on，” she answered. “He's
                  never said anything about this to me！” Mrs. Green looked at
                  Danny. “How long has this been going on？” she asked. Danny
                  could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he
                  said a word about this， he would have trouble after school.
                  　　Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he
                  wanted to do things with the boys in the neighborhood. After
                  all， most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang
