6、afety.随堂检测(A)The sense of insecurity, humiliation and helplessness always keep a woman mum. Our whole socialization is such that for any unsuccessful marriage which results in such violence or divorce, it is always the woman, who is help responsible. Cultural beliefs and traditions that discriminate

7、 against women may be officially discredited but they continue to flourish at the grass root levels. Family relations in India are governed by personal laws. The four major religious munities areHuidu, Muslim, Christian and Parsi. Each has their separate personal laws. They are governed by their res

8、pective personal laws in matters of marriage, divorce, succession, adoption, guardianship and maintenance. In the laws of all the munities, women have fewer rights than that of man in corresponding situations. It is really that women of the minority munities in India continue to have unequal legal r

9、ight s and even the women of the majority munity have yet to gain plete formal equality in all aspects of family life. This is basically the prolem of gender inequality.Gender Inequality refers to the obvious or hidden disparities among individuals based on the performance of gender. This problem in

10、 simple term is known as Gender Bias which in simple terms means the gender stratification or making difference between a girl and a boy i.e. a male or a female. In making biasness among the gender India ranks 10th out of 128 counties all over the world which is shameful for us. But this problem is

11、increasing although government has banned the pre-natal se* e*amination. In India (in the older times) this problem is mainly seen in the rural areas because many rural people think that the girl child is burden on them. But now this is also being seen in the urban areas i.e. in offices, institution

12、s, schools and in society. The afflicted world in which we live is characterized by deeply unequal sharing of the burden of adversities between women and men. Gender Inequality e*ists in most part of the world, from Japan to Morocco, or from Uzbekistan to United States of America.However, inequality

13、 between men and women can take very many different forms. Indeed, gender inequality is not one homogeneous phenomenon, but a collection of disparate and interlinked problem. This issue of gender inequality is one which has been publicly reverberating through society for decades. The problem of ineq

14、uality in employment being one of the most pressing issues today. In order to e*amine this situation one must try to get to the root of the problem and must understand the sociological factors that cause women to have a much more difficult time getting the same benefits, wages, and job opportunities

15、 as their male counterparts. The society in which we live has been shaped historically by males.However, in many parts of the world, women receive less attention and health care than men do, and particularly girls often receive very much less support than boys. As a result of this gender bias, he mo

16、rtality rates of females often e*ceed those of males in these countries. The concept of missing women was devised to give some idea of the enormity of the phenomenon of womens adversity in mortality by focusing on the women who are simply not there, due to unusually high mortality pared with male mo

17、rtality rates. In some regions in the world, inequality between women and men directly involves matters of life and death, and takes the brutal form of unusually high mortality rates of women and a consequent preponderance of men in the total population, as opposes to the preponderance of women foun

18、d in societies with little or no gender bias in health care and nutrition. Mortality inequality has been observed e*tensively in North Africa and in Asia, including China and South Asia.1.

21、der Inequality(B)Aknight was a mounted warrior of medieval Europe who served a king or other feudal superior, usually in return for land. Knighthood was taken quite seriously and had to be earned.At about the age of eight, a boy would begin training in preparation for knighthood. This young trainee,

22、 known as a page, would train with mentors to learn about horses, armor, and weapons. Pages practiced fighting with a sword against a wooden stake and learned to skillfully use a bow and arrow. The lady of the castle taught a young page about manners and social graces, as well as how to sing, play i

23、nstruments, and dance. A priest might give a page religious training and teach him to read and write.By the age of fourteen, the page would bee a squire. A squire was responsible for dressing a knight for battles and tournaments and taking care of the knights armor and weapons. He would even follow

24、his master on the battlefield to protect him if the knight fell.A squire had to gain skill in using a lance, spear, or sword, so he would practice against a wooden dummy called a quintain. The quintain and a shield were hung on a wooden pole, and when hit, the whole structure would spin. The squire

25、would learn to ride up and hit the shields center, but then quickly move out of the way without getting hit and knocked off his horse by the quintain.At about age twenty, a squire was finally prepared to be called a knight, which involved an e*tended ceremony. On the evening before being a knight, t

26、he squire confessed his sins to a priest, was given a symbolic bath, and then fasted in order to cleanse his soul. The squire would dress all in white and stay in a chapel all night praying and watching over his weapons and armor.In the morning, the squire would dress in symbolicallycolored clothing

27、: red for his bold, white for purity, and brown for his return to the earth after death. At his induction(成人仪式), the knight swore a code of chivalry(骑士精神), which required his always to be brave, loyal, courteous, and to protect the defenseless. Knighthood was conferred(赋予) by the overlord with an ac

28、colade, during which the new knight was tapped on the shoulders or neck with the flat side of the sword.If this new knight ever broke his vows or acted dishonorably, he would be stripped of his knighthood in another ceremony, in which he was “buried. In the Middle Ages, a knight without honor was co

29、nsidered as good as dead.1. What were two responsibilities of a squire2. What brave act did a squire have to perform3. What is chivalry4. If a knight were to be betray the king, what do you think might happen(C)Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that.We have probably all had lectures pointing out tha

30、t laziness is 1 ,that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life.But laziness can be more harmful than that,and it is often caused by more 2 reasons than the simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are 3 much more serious problems. Theymaybe so di

31、strustful of their 4 workers that they are unable to 5 in anygrouptask for fear of being laughed at or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be deadened by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of 6 may prevent work: some people are so busy plannin

32、g,sometimes planninggreatdeals of fantastic achievements,that they are unable to deal with whatever lesser work is 7 . Still other people are not avoidingwork,strictly speaking; they are nearly procrastinating(拖延) 8 their day.Laziness can 9 be helpful. Like procrastinators，some people look lazy when

33、 they are really thinking,planning,researching. We should all remember that somegreatscientific discoveries 10 by chance. Newton wasnt 11 in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone“lazy build the car or stove we buy, particularly

38、ot an actual railroad. Rather, it was a vast net work of people working secretly to help fugitive slaves escape north and to Canada. Sometimes called the Freedom Trail, this network of escape routes operated for many years before and during the Civil War.Hundreds of slaves moved north to freedom eac

39、h year via the Underground Railroad. Escape routes stretched from the southern slave states into the free northern states and up to Canada. Escaped slaves were considered fugitives of the law, so they travelled secretlyusually at night, with the North Star as their guideand were hidden along their r

40、oute in safe houses, barns and haylofts.Some form of organized system to assist runaway slaves probably began in the 1780s under Quaker sponsorship. In 1786, George Washington is said to have plained about a “society of Quakers helping one of his runaway slaves. This system of slave-helping people c

41、ontinued to grow, and in 1831 it was given the nickname “the Underground Railroad, after the steam railroads that were emerging at the time. Other railroad terms were used in regard to the network of people helping slaves: A “conductor was a person responsible for moving fugitive from one place to t

42、he ne*t; homes and businesses where fugitives would rest and eat were called “stations and “depots that were run by “stationmasters; and people who contributed money or goods were called “stockholders.Most of the people helping the fugitive slaves were antislavery blacks, but many whites also suppor

43、ted the Underground Railroad. The highest number of slaves escaped from the upper South, because of its close pro*imity to the free states. These slaves were most often single, young males, as only rarely would an entire family of slaves attempt to make an escape together.Escaping to freedom was an

44、arduous task. First, a slave had to escape from the slaveholder. Sometimes a “conductor posing as a slave would enter a plantation and then guide the runaway out. The fugitive would sometimes travel between 10 and 20 miles to the nest station, where they would rest and eat, hiding in barns and other

45、-out-of-way places. While the slave waited, a message would be sent to the ne*t station to alert its stationmaster. Board points, such as Cincinnati, Ohio, and Wilmington, Delaware, and lake ports of Detroit, Michigan; Sandusky, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Buffalo, New York, were all popular escap

46、e terminals, where conductors would meet the slaves and help them to freedom.Vigilance groups sprang up in many northern areas, including New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. These were groups of people who offered support to the fugitives in the form of money, food and lodging. They also helped thes

47、e former slaves settle into a munity by finding them jobs and providing letters of remendation.The Underground Railroad included many notable participants, including John Fairfield, who made many daring rescues; Levi Coffin, a Quaker who assisted more than 3.000 slaves; and Harriet Tubman, who made

48、19 trips into the South and shepherded more than 300 slaves to freedom. Thousands of antislavery campaigners, both black and white, risked their lives to operate the railway.1.

51、 of genetics for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of traits follow particular laws, which were later named after him.Mendel was born in Austria in 1822, and in 1847, he was ordained into the priesthood. Shortly thereafter it became apparent tha

52、t he was suited to teaching. So in 1851, Mendel began attending the University of Vienna to train to be a teacher of mathematics and biology. There, he developed skills as a researcher, which he would later utilize.Mendel did groundbreaking work in his study of the theories of heredity. Using simple

53、 pea plants, Mendel traced their seven basic characteristic and discovered three basic laws that governed the passage of a trait from one member of a species to another member of the same species.Mendels first law states that a se* cell of a plant will contain just one of tow possible traits. His se

54、cond law states that characteristics are inherited independently from another. Mendels third law states that each inherited characteristic is determined by two hereditary factors, or genes, one from each parent. These decide whether a trait appears or not. Mendels work and theories later became the

55、model for the study of modern genetics, and are still recognized and used today.Ironically, Mendel was not recognized for his work by his scientific peers. In fact, his work was relatively unappreciated until the turn of the 20th century. But Mendels achievements were certainly revolutionary: his wo

56、rk led to the discovery of dominant and recessive traits, the concept of heterozygous to the discovery of dominant and recessive traits, the concept of heterozygous and homozygous, and other advanced phenomena. Mendel died on January 6, 1884.1. What is Mendels nickname2. How did Mendel develop these

57、 laws3. What does that tell you about the laws4. What other groundbreaking facts did Mendels work later reveal to the scientific world(C)Birds are being popular as pets, but unlike with more mon pets, owners of birds are often not familiar with the behavioral patterns of the animal which 1 them to r

58、ecognize what the pet needs and wants. For e*ample, most of us can recognize the behavior a dog 2 when he is hungry or wants 3 , but how many of us know how birds 4 showing the same feelings By learning about the behavioral patterns of birds, its owner can forge a stronger relationship with his pet.

59、 Owners can learn how to 5 bird body language, including movements of the eyes, wings, tail and beak. A birds eyes are different from a humans. While both birds and humans have pupils and irises (the black and colored parts respectively), birds have the ability to control the 6 of their pupils by 7
