UNITE1 CDDCA BBACC BCBBD BCC When you fall in love for the first time, its a very serious moment in your life. When people refer _1_ early romantic feelings with such terms as “puppy love” or “having a crush”, they havent simply _2_ what its like they are failing to perceive _3_ how powerful and significant the experience _4_. Not only does your first love change your life _5_; it also reveals patterns of romantic behavior that are likely _6_ present in all your future love relationships _7_. If your first experience of love filled you with energy and gave you the _8_ to explore new areas of life, youll probably always seek romantic partners who are both demanding and giving. If, on the _9_, your first romance left you feeling awkward and unable to express yourself, you will most likely look for partners with _10_ you feel safe and comfortable. And _11_ the object of your first romantic feelings was can also be _12_. Was it someone nearby, your own age, that you could shareinterests and activities with? _13_ is a sign that you expect love as a natural _14_ of who you are.

Women everywhere still suffer _1_ economic injustice, social injustice and most significantphysical injustice. This is where genetic engineering is _2_ to feminism. The way things are now, too few women feel truly sure of their physical safety. All that _3_ most women from physical force _4_ the so-called social contract. This is not enough. Why should half the population enjoy physical safety as a form of _5_, while the other half enjoys it as a natural _6_? Men who argue that laws can _7_ for this inequality simply cant imagine what its like to be _8_ to defend yourself. This lifelong lack of _9_ in something as basic as physical safety gives rise _10_ major psychological barriers _11_ equality.
