        Sociologists (社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women
wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. "Women often wish
they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men's world," said Dr James Helen, one of the
sociologists who did the study.
       Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support (养活)
his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against
their wives working at all. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children can not be taken
good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a
nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their
homes and to have freedom (自由) to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal
pay and equal chances (平等机会). 
       Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "women's liberation (解放) ". "I don't wish I were
a man." she says, and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating (对待) us like
second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are
still a lot of jobs only to men-usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance
of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there …or engineers?

A. women need chances to go out of the home more often
B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want
C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men
D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes
3. Anne Harper didn't wish to be a man _______.
[     ]
A. because she believed in "Women's Liberation"
B. but she wished to get the same job as men
C. because she had got a good job
D. but she wished to be treated the same as a man
4. Anne Harper thought that _______.

     Jinan University has had a long and chequered history. Its forerunner, Jinan School, was founded in
1907 at Nanjing, mainly for children of Chinese from abroad. It closed after the 1911 Revolution broke
out, reopened in 1918 and then moved to Shanghai where it became Jinan University. During the war
against Japnese invasion in 1937-45, it moved to Fujian Province, and, when the war ended, back to
Shanghai. After the founding of New China in 1949, it was merged with other universities and colleges.
In 1958 it was re-established in Guangzhou again as a school for Chinese students from abroad as well
as from Hong Kong and Macao. The number of students reached 3,000.

policy towards overseas Chinese was once again correctly implemented the State Council decided to
restore Jinan University and it was formally opened in October.

working in China, some abroad. Many have contributed to the Chinese revolution, to the building of New
China and to friendly ties and cultural and economic exchanges with other countries.

      Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver. 　　
     In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (宝贵的) stone. 　　
     Parents often pick names that can be shortened (缩写). This can be confusing (困惑的) for Chinese
people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal
(私人的) way. 　　
     For example, a popular name is William. But William can be shortened to Will, Willy, Bill and Billy. The
same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz. 　　
     Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
because of the fame (名气) of the footballer David Beckham.

1. The following are all popular names in U.S. at this moment EXCEPT            .

countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother's Day is on the second Sunday in May.
On that day, many people send gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often
