How Women Were Freed From Their Homes As late as 1800, a woman"s only place was in her home. Women in business were unheard of. No respectable woman would dream of entering what was strictly a "man"s world". Even if she would, what could she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job well outside her home. This was a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to resort to using men"s names as aliases. (化名) Teaching was the first profession opened to women, soon after 1800. But even that was not easy for women to take because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to take in women. Nursing was regarded as a respectable profession for women only after Florence Nightingale won high credit for her nursing career and became famous. Miss Nightingale opened the first training school for nursing in 1860 in England. The invention of typewriters in 1867 helped to bring women out of their homes to join the business world. Because women are careful and have nimble fingers, businessmen found that they were well suited to this kind of work. By 1890, tens of thousands of women were working in schools, hospitals, shops, offices, and factories both in England and the States. Some even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea of women working in business and other circles was accepted. |
1. Oberlin College was the first college in America _______. |

Are you planning your first visit to a music festival? This article offers insights (洞察力) into what you might expect to find as well as some tips on how to make the most of your day. Having experienced a large number of festivals, I feel that I"m in a good position to be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such occasions. So let"s begin by discussing the advantages. Why are there so many people attending festivals each year? One obvious reason is that the festivals attract a wide range of bands and stars. That means that you can often see many bands in a single weekend. Besides being great fun, this can also save you a lot of money when compared to seeing each of the stars individually. Some would say that this cost saving is hard to find these days, with the prices of festival tickets rising. Though this is true to some degree, you can still find bargains if you look for them. You"ll also find yourself mixing with a lot of people who are interested in the same types of music as you. After all, that"s mainly why people go to festivals -to hear music. Are there disadvantages too? There are some, but many of them probably won"t come as a surprise. Organizers know that they have a spellbound (被迷住的) audience, and so tend to charge higher prices for food and drink at the festival site. You might want to limit how much you consume or find cheaper things. Also, getting a view of your favorite band may not be easy. It depends on the location of the festival and how popular it is. If you really want to see a particular act, try and get to the area where it"s playing early. Finally, do remember that it can be extremely exciting right at the front when a band is on stage. All in all, there are far more advantages than disadvantages. Enjoy your first visit to a music festival! |

The society today is in a state of changing. Everywhere ways of doing things are changing and the items that we use on a daily basis are also changing. This change has also come to the clothing business. Most people are not aware that organic clothing production is now a billion-dollar industry. Many of us probably don"t even know what organic clothing is. Organic clothing is the material that is made and grown in accordance with organic standards. This means that in the process of growing the material no harm is done to the air, water and the earth itself. These materials are not harmful to the earth"s natural ecological system and meet the standards of what is well known today as "going green". Another fact that most people are not aware of is that the clothing industry adds more pollution to the natural environment than most other industries. Cotton is one material where pesticides are used a lot because the crops are always being attacked by various insects and bugs.

Organic clothing is catching on but you may not find it in your local department stores. However, you would be more likely to find a better variety by going online. Organic clothing may be a bit more expensive than ordinary clothing. Cotton is not the only material that is grown organically, although it is very popular.

Motivation is defined as the intention of achieving a goal, leading to goal-directed behavior. It drives us towards achieving our goals, and gives us a reason to do the things that are required to reach our goals. There are two kinds of motivation: outside and self-motivation. Outside motivation is motivation from an inspiring book, a story about courage, nature or even a child. You could be motivated after hearing a speech from an inspirational speaker or you might want to do something for the community when you heard a heartwarming story. Sometimes, it is through outside motivation that we think about our life and our achievements. Outside motivation gives you hope and reminds you that it is possible to be successful and happy. There is no stronger motivation than self-motivation. People can tell you all kinds of inspiring stories, advice and encouragement but if we have no desire to change, it can"t motivate us. Self-motivation requires us to look within ourselves to find the reason to drive us towards our goal. We accept and acknowledge what is lacked in our life and make it our goal to change ourselves. Self-motivation requires a lot of perseverance and belief. In self-motivation, we tell ourselves what we want to do; nobody and nothing can otherwise inspire us to take action. We are in charge of our actions and emotions. Outside motivation could be the first step in helping us identify our goals. It gives us hope and sometimes provides us with the guidelines towards achieving our goals. However, as this is other people"s experience, we might get side tracked or find it difficult to follow. Of course, we can be de-motivated (消极的) too by our own self-motivation. However, as it comes from within us and we master the process, self-motivation is a stronger and more secure way to help us achieve our goals. |
1. Which of the following statements is NOT about outside motivation? |
A. Other people can encourage us to reach our goals. B. It"s easy to follow other people"s experiences to make progress. C. Outside motivation gives us hope to achieve success. D. A speech from a famous speaker may motivate us. |
2. From the third paragraph, we learn that self-motivation ______ . |
A. is more important than outside motivation. B. comes into effect through outside motivation. C. may make us easily doubt others" advice. D. requires us to find the reason to succeed from outside. |
3. The author showed his opinion by the following means EXCEPT ______ . |
A. giving examples B. listing numbers C. making comparisons D. using definitions |
4. What would be the best title for the text? |
A. Motivation Helps Achieve Goals. B. Two Ways To Achieve Goals. C. Outside Motivation or Self-motivation: Which is stronger? D. Outside Motivation: the Key to Success. |
