The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrier. “How could she be so selfish?” I thought .

I picked up my books, glared at her and whispered coldly, “Thanks to your , I’ve been unable to study. You’re so !”

I left the library in such a hurry that I left the most important textbook . when I got home two hours later, I found that textbook gone. I was so that I almost cried. Just then, the phone rang,a gentle voice the speaker as Jenny and asked if I was Jane. After that I was, she said that she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my was in it, she’d asked a librarian to get my phone number f. She said that she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me if I needed it.

I sighed with and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. Of course you’ve who Jenny was. She was the girl I had shouted at for singing in the library. When I recognized her in the convenience store, I was filled with and apologized for my ruled behavior. I felt so , but Jenny just laughed, saying she was glad to see that I’d also left my in the library! I couldn’t help laughing at this and I invited her back to my apartment for a quick cup of tea.

Ever since then we’ve been best friends and we got along really well. To be honest, I trust her more than any one else. I often think how I am. If Jenny hadn’t been a kind person who was willing to my shortcomings, I would have experienced such true friendship.

Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意识形态) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.

The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.

Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances.

So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.

But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
