Many people like to travel by plane , but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from  the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours  to go out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train. I think trains  are safe. Railway stations  are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk  around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time. I  also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

People like to say：“The hand that rocks(摇动)the cradle(摇篮)rules the world．”Or theysay：“Behind every successful man，there is a woman．”

Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful．But some women want more for themselves．They want to be successful as men．

Today the best jobs are still given to men．Even when women do the same work，they are often paid less than men．Some women want these things changed．They want to stand beside the men，with the same chances for success．

Now many American women are earning money outside their homes．More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs．In general，working women have more education than those who stay at home．

Among women with jobs，eight out of ten drive a car to work，and most of them often spend their holidays away from home．They like traveling by air．Women’s work has made several changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives，too．

But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries．

In the Middle East countries，women have to stay at home．They look after their families and do all the housework．They can’t find work outside．When they go out in public．they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands．

For the past few years the women’s life has been changing in those countries．Many women want to play an active role in the society．Though working gives them few chances of getting married，many men still want to marry them in the old ways．

2.Some women are still badly paid       ．

A．because women want more money

C．because women can’t do as well as men do

D．but we don’t know why

3.If women have got higher education       ．

A．they can get better jobs more easily         B．they don’t have to do any housework

C．they can travel by plane                  D．they can be paid better than men

4.Working gives women      ．

A．the chance to receive more education than men
