In Japan, most people still feel that a woman’s place is in the home; and most women willingly accept their traditional role as wives, 31 (leave) the business of making a living to their husbands. For those 32 do want a career of their own, opportunities are limited, and working women usually have to settle for 33 (low) wages, fewer promotions, and less responsible positions.
In America, 34 the other hand, most women, including wives and mothers, work most of their lives. But until recently, few have had real careers. American women work mainly because they have to ; in these days of inflation and luxurious living, only one income per family is 35 (simple) not enough to live on. So American women actually have 36 jobs: one nine-to-five position 37 the home, and the other in-the-home job as wife, housemaid, cook and nurse.
One of the main goals of the modern women’s liberation movement, which started in 38 early 1960s, was to eliminate(消除) sex discrimination in the work force, and to open up opportunities for women 39 were previously reserved for men. And 40 there is still a long way to go, a lot of progress has been made.

My father woke me 31 early in summer morning when I was fourteen and announced: “ Get up. You’re going to with me to cut the grass.”
The idea 32 my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and 33 (excite). From sunup to sundown my father, my young brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, 34 I felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pull me aside. “Clear away these 35 , ”he said firmly , “ and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress the person you are working 36 .
After two years my father told my brother and me that he felt that we were old enough to do lawns on our 37 . Every Saturday during our last two years of high school, we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while 38 (work) under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was 39 than I had before.
In every job I’ve held-from dong lawns to 40 dishes-I have learned something that helped me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.

Dear Professor Liu Kai,
I want to thank you for offering me such useful advice during my research. I have completed my article about advertisements, and I’m quite satisfied 58 it. It has just been published on our school website. I never knew that advertisements were so interesting! The information I found will really help me to educate others. I hope that after they 59 my article, my schoolmates will understand that PSAs 60 intended to educate us about public welfare issues, and 61 commercial ads are meant to promote products or services. Before our talk, I did not think very much about how an advertiser might be trying to trick customers 62 buying a 63 or a service. Now I think I will be much smarter about what things to buy. Even if there are lots of exciting images and persuasive language. I will remember to think about the things I buy. I will also pay a 64 more attention to the nationwide public service ad campaigns because now I know how helpful they can be. I will encourage my friends 65 pay attention to them as well.
Thank you again for helping me find so much useful information!
Yours faithfully
Qian Lili
