"Bad luck always comes in three " and last Saturday seemed to prove it. After trouble with the car and the television, we spent the evening waiting for the next trouble. Shortly after dinner we both smelled smoke. My wife, who is often careless when cooking, ran to the kitchen but returned looking puzzled. I rushed up the stairs to see smoke coming from under our bedroom door. I went to the bathroom and tied a wet cloth over my face. Then I returned to the bedroom, opened the door and crawled (爬) in —— there would be less smoke at floor level. With one hand reaching out in front of me I advanced carefully feeling for the switch to turn off the electric blanket. At that moment I heard the bell of a coming fire engine. Thank goodness my wife had not been wasting her time.

People used to say, "The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world", and" behind every successful man there's a woman." Both these sayings mean the same thing: Men rule the world, but their wives rule them.
Most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want something for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men. The American women's liberation movement was started by women who don't want to stand behind successful men. They don't want to be told that certain jobs of offices are closed to them. They refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.
A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence (信心) in herself. If somebody says to her, "You've come a long way, baby," She'll smile and answer, "Not nearly as far as I'm going to go, baby." This movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree. But it has already made some important changes in women's lives —— in men's lives too.

Many TV programs are very realistic. One who watches TV often feels that whatever happened in the film could well happen to him. With only a little imagination, every man in the street becomes a thief, a spy or a murderer. Jane had been watching a spy film at a friend's house. In it, a young girl had been followed and murdered. She felt a little frightened walking to the station. She took the train back to the center of the city. There were a lot of people travelling, so she felt much safer. She looked round at the other people in the train.
A man, sitting opposite her, reading a newspaper, glanced (看一下) at her. She thought nothing of it until she saw him staring at her. Remembering the film and feeling very uncomfortable, she got out of the train and went to the bus stop. When the man got on the same bus as her she found that he was following her. As long as she had been with other people she wasn't frightened, but when she got off the bus, the streets were almost empty. She walked as quickly as she could.
