My husband hasnt stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. Its funny now but it wasnt at the time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shopthat was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that hed started to eat my chocolate!

Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid troubleand really I was rather uneasy about himI just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didnt dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece." And I got it.

The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out. "This /span>womans crazy!" Everyone stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went redas red as his hairwhen I realized Id made a mistake. It wasnt my chocolate that hed been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.

【题目】阅读理解

The law says women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Governments womens unit. The biggest problem isnt equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do.

Make a list of low-paid-jobs, then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child-care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.

It is disgraceful (可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century still treating women like second-class citizens.

【1】 Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and getting the same pay as men _________.

A. after 25 years

B. according to the law

C. as a result of those important jobs

D. because women are as strong as men

【2】We can learn from the text that what really matters in this problem is _________.

A. that women interrupt a career to have children

B. what sort of work women do

C. because they are women

D. what unfair pay women get in workplaces

【3】Which of the followings best describes the writers idea?

A. Women and men should get equal pay for equal work.

B. Women should strengthen themselves.

C. The government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.

D. Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.

【4】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A. Work to give women a fair pay deal

B. The equal pay act

C. The sort of work women do

D. The biggest problem about women
