READING COMPREHENSION 
I. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. 
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a 
real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated 
society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and 
women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school. Women 
had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in 
society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their 
property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many 
parents did not even want to daughters. 
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down 
from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family 
and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and 
housework such as washing and cooking. 
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day 
including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. 
In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the 
whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas. 
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to 
men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as 
intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: 
they produce children. 
1. Which is not women's role in the former days? 
 a. Working in authority b. Doing housework 
 c. Doing cooking d. Bearing and rearing children 
2. Years ago, women are not allowed ________. 
 a. to work in the kitchen b. to go to school 
 c. to do housework d. to stay at home with their parents 
3. What did women have to suffer? 
 a. Good schooling b. Choosing a husband themselves 
 c. Enjoy their housework d. Illiteracy 
4. The outdated 'beliefs about women's roles ________. 
 a.have been eradicated completely 
 b. disappeared soon after the women's liberation movement 
 c. still exist at present . 
 d. was forced to change after the women's liberation movement 
5. According to the text, women in the 21st century ________. 
 a. do not have to do housework any more 
 b. are still the victims of family violence in some rural areas 
 c. get help from their husbands with all housework 
 d. spend less than 12 hours working outside the home and doing housework 
II. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
