Question IV: Read the passage and answer the questions below (0,5 pt)
It is the custom in America to give women special treatment Although there was a time
when they were denied the right to vote and their proper place was considered to be in the home, they were always looked upon as the “fair sex” A man’s job was seen as that of the breadwinner; a woman’s position was that of the homemaker The man brings home the bacon and the woman takes care of the rest
Along with this subservient role came certain privileges A woman was given a priority in various social situations and treated with both reverence and respect This respect she justly earned if she were both a caring mother and a faithful wife
In the past it has been the gentleman’s responsibility to be her protector and escort Even today
a man with proper breeding and good manner will politely open the door for a lady, help her
on with her coat when necessary and escort her to the door of her home after a date, making sure she is safely within the confines of her home
Likewise, when a man takes a woman out for dinner, it is considered polite to assist her with her chair when she gets up or sits down On a crowded train or bus, it is altogether proper for a man to offer a woman his seat especially if she is elderly or pregnant This respect for women dates back perhaps to the time of chivalry when men fought duels for the hand of a fair maiden The ritual of courtship involved the endurance of great hardships, the demonstration
of valiant courage and the courtesy of good manners Even when it comes to shaking hands ladies come first It is considered impolite for a man to extend his hand to a woman for a
Trang 5handshake upon first greeting This remains the woman’s option If a woman does not extend her hand to the man first, then the man should refrain from offering his In this sense the woman’s choice comes first
Not only do ladies come first, but if she is the wife of the president, she is called the “First Lady” and women continue to break new “first” categories by entering into fields of social service once considered exclusively the realm of men America now and a “first” woman president may not be far off in the future
There is no doubt that the Women’s Liberation Movement has put women on an equal footing with men with respect to jobs and career opportunities There can also be no denying that many women today prefer to be treated the same as men in every way Yet, in spite of their new freedom and social equality none of them seem to object to the rule of “ladies first”
1, In the family, what was considered to be the traditional position of women?
_
2, What would a man of proper breeding do for a woman on a crowded bus?
_
3, When shaking hands with a woman, what is considered rude?
_
4, What is the president’s wife of the US called?
_
5, How do most American women feel about the concept of “Ladies First”?

Question III
Friends play a very important part in everyone’s life Friendship usually develops during childhood New friends are made when you progress through school Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long Friends influence your development, maturity and sense of responsibility A familiar expression is “ You can tell lot about a person by knowing who his friends are” Friendship is based on common interests If you like sports,
Trang 10most of your friends are likely to be athletic If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same
Some people call you their friends for the wrong reasons These people are not real friends They are superficial, only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts Superficial friends only want to be yoyr friends if it is to their advantage True friends are there whether you are rich or poor It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich
True friends are difficult to find You can consider yourself lucky if you have one true friend The true friend is eager to help you whenever necessary True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence
