    31. R   of Women
    Women’s rights are guarantees of political, social, and economic equality for women in a society that traditionally gives more power and freedom to men. Among these rights are control of property, equality of opportunity in education and employment, right of voting, and freedom of marriage. Today, complete political, economic, and social equality with men remains to be achieved.
    32. Traditional Sta    of Women
    Male control was obvious from the time of the earliest written historical records, probable as a result of men’s role in hunting and warfare. The belief that women were naturally weaker and inferior to men was also found in god-centered religions. Therefore, in most traditional societies, women generally were at a disadvantage. A woman had no legal control over her person, her own land and money, or her children.
    33. S   of Women’s Rights Movement
    The Age of Enlightenment (啟蒙時(shí)期) and the Industrial Revolution, which caused economic and social progress, provided a favorable climate for the rise of women’s rights movement in the late 18th and the 19th century. In 1848 more than 100 persons held the first women’s rights convention in New York, and the feminists (女權(quán)主義者) demanded equal rights, including the vote.
    34. Dev  
    In the late 1960s women made up about 40 percent of the work force in England, France, Germany, and the Untied States. This figure rose to more than 50 percent by the mid-1980s. A commission under the President was established in 1960 to consider equal opportunities for women. Acts of Congress entitled them to equality in education, employment, and legal rights. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act, initially intended only for black, was extended to women.
    35. Go   
    The objectives of the women’s movement included equal pay for equal work, federal support for day-care centres, recognition of lesbian (女同性戀者) rights, making abortion (墮胎) legal, and the focus of serious attention on the problems of forced sex relations, wife and child beating, and discrimination against older and minority women.

    第一篇    Physicians in the USA
    Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with not or more hospital in the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients that they use. Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veterans’ hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders (教堂) or other non-profit groups.
    Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal government’s Public Health Service.
    Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation requited to become a physician in the United States. Most would -be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective (未來(lái)) physicians then attend medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency (實(shí)行階段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and they pay in relatively low.
    Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians also of each other’s patients in emergencies.
    Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
