[单项选择] Fighting for a Brighter Future for Women
When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because t thought I’d be the best president.
But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.
I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter’s future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.
To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.
Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题):
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
[简答题]When I saw the notice "Women film extras wanted" in a local newspaper, I jumped at the chance. Since childhood, I had dreamt of being a film star. The casting interview went well, and two clays later I was told that I had been chosen. I was to lose some of my enthusiasm for the idea, however extras are often left in the dark for some time as to which role they will play. Finally , the nature of my role was revealed: I was asked to play a mental hospital patient. Despite my disappointment, I agreed to participate. Then, barely a week later, the day of filming dawned. An 13 of us extras, mainly housewives, were driven to an old hospital. The coffee and tea they served us looked and tasted like cement. Then we were rushed off to make-up. My hair was pinned back and make-up was applied that gave me a pale appearance. Then we just sat in a minibus for a few hours, as the cameras rolled elsewhere.
After the second hour had passed I was becoming bored. I bet stars are never treated lik
[简答题]When the women I met at college thought about the joys and privileges of men, they did not carry in their minds the sort of men I had known in my childhood. They thought of their fathers, who were bankers, physicians, architects, stockbrokers, the big wheels of the big cities. These fathers rode the train to work or drove cars that cost more than any of my childhood houses. They were never laid off, never short of cash at month’s end, never lined up for welfare. These fathers made decisions that mattered. They ran the world.
The daughters of such men wanted to share in this power, this glory. So did I. They yearned for a say over their future, for jobs worthy of their abilities, for the right to live at peace, unmolested, whole. Yes, I thought, yes. The difference between me and these daughters was that they saw me, because of my sex, as destined from birth to become like their fathers, and therefore as an enemy to their desires. But I knew better. I wasn’t an enemy, in fact or

[填空题] Superboost Your Memory
I hate it when I forget where I put my car key, or the name of someone I worked with for ten years.., or the title of a movie I saw last night. It’s frustrating and increasingly common as I turned 50. Sound familiar
Whether it is forgotten names, misplaced keys, missed appointments or simply not being able to recall something that you know, experts say we don’t have to put up with forgetfulness, and it has nothing to do with age. We can have a great memory well into our 80s and beyond, but only if you are willing to invest some time and energy. "Your memory declines with age only if it’s not used," insists Tony Buzan, a leading expert on memory, who is 61 and says his memory is better than ever. "But you have to work at it." The bonus A better quality of life in your senior years. Research has shown that seniors with a sharp memory and an alert mind are more socially active and participate in a broa
