"Equal pay for equal work" is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are unfairly treated by society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.
Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. (80) If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up children.
Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal chances.
The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to ask society to _________.
A．pay men less than women
B．give Women harder work
C．pay men and women the same amount of money for the same work
D．pay people more who do harder work

Two People，Two Paths You must be familiar with the situation：Dad’s driving，Mum’s telling him where to go.He’s sure that they need to turn left But she says it’s not for another two blocks.Who has the better sense of direction？ Men or women.
They both do, a new study says.but in different ways.Men and women.Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way.Men look quickly at landmarks(地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction.Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head.“women tend to be more detailed,”said Edward Cornell.who led the study,“while men tend to be a little bit faster and …a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的).”
In fact, said Cornell,“sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two.
The first is the“survey method”.This is when you see all area from above, such as a printed map.Y0u can see，for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that
the supermarket is on its right.
The second skill is the“route method”This is when you use a series of directions.You start from the hospital，then turn left，turn fight，go uphill——and then you see the
supermarket.
Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions.
Both work, and neither is better.
Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles.
In ancient times，young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt.The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places.The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—them ountains, the lakes and so on.
The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants.These activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths.So, women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes.
第41题：When finding his way, Dad tends to rely on
A．his intuitive knowledge.
B．his book knowledge．
C．Mum’s assistance.
D．the police’s assistance．
