There was a time when,if a lady got into a crowded bus or train,a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat.But now,things are different.Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy,hide behind his newspaper.Either way,the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.

You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners,though.Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble.A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men,not just equality in jobs or education,but in social life.Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.On second thoughts,that is perhaps not a bad idea.

It’s no wonder,then that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women.On the other hand,the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women,so that men can see women as equal human beings,rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.

Maybe it is worth women’s while to stand in the bus or train.

Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare   21  affecting her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was    22  in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much    23   of her ever recovering from this illness. They    24  she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to    25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was   26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was   27  going to be walking again one day.
She was moved to a specialized    28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All   29  that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do   30 else, it would at least give her hope and something   31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her   32  , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!
One day,   33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something  34  happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She    35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"
Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a   36 place. People were screaming, equipment was  37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake.  38 don't tell that to Angela. She    39  that she did it.
And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own   40  . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?
