三.听短文回答问题

今天我们要听一篇谈美国妇女运动的文章. 这篇文章里有许多被动语态句子, 文章里许多词汇也是我们刚才练习过的.

现在请你注意听.

America has been called a democracy since its independence more than 200 years ago.

However, at that time, only men were permitted to vote. Only men could own land and practice most professions. Women could not get a higher education or hold public office.

The woman's place was considered to be the home. Working women were not common.

They usually had poor jobs and little respect.

Through the history of our country, many American women have worked to reduce the restrictions that society placed on them. They have met opposition. Slowly, however, the opportunities for women have increased. Colleges and universities were established for women. Later women were admitted to schools originally established only for men.

In the early part of this century, American women were finally allowed to vote. During and since World War II American women have become a considerable part of the American work force.
