大学英语听力听说教程3unit14women

大学英语听力听说教程3unit14womenUnit 14 WomenPart BExercise 1Most women in France work. Their average salary is about 75% that of their male co-workers, even though laws passed in 1972 require "professional equality" between the sexes. The good news is that women are increasingly moving into middle management. A handful are top executives. The higher their position, the harder it is to balance family and career. A 38-year-old woman who graduated from the prestigious National School of Administration remembers that when she took a senior post in a ministry, her male colleagues assured her, "You are one of us, one of the guys." But when she became a mother, they stuck to age-old traditions that she couldn't follow ?a long lunches and late-night meetings. "It was too much pressure and I felt like I was being sabotaged," she says. For those who want to balance family with a job, as opposed to a high-pressure, high-visibility career, France is a haven. Women marry later, on average, than in America ?a at age 25. And they stay in the workforce. Part-time jobs are easy to find. Maternity benefits are generous, with over six months of paid leave. Women who've raised three or more children are entitled to a state-funded pension. The quality of publicly funded education for children is high. And abortion is not only legal, but it's paid for by the state. French businesswomen dress elegantly, argue intelligently and play hardball at the negotiating table. They show their wit, intellect, ability to make puns and understanding of politics, history and literature. Unlike most American female executives who dressconservatively in a dark, not particularly flattering suit, with no jewelry and little makeup, Frenchwomen see no need to abandon femininity and elegance in the business world. They prefer soft colors, stylish clothes, silk scarves, manicured nails, light makeup, and simple but elegant jewelry.Questions1. What do you know about French businesswomen2. What does the speaker intend to say through the passage about French businesswomen3. What is implied in the passage about French businesswomenExercise 1Women and men are not created equal. Mother Nature favors her own sex when it comes to longevity, with women living about seven years ?a or 10% ?a longer than men. Still, men actually get a head start in the battle of the sexes, since male babies outnumber female babies by 115 to 100. But by about age 30, women have caught up with men numerically, and they then leave men in the dust, with three women alive for every man by age 85. But there's the paradox: While women live longer than men,they're generally sicker. Men tend to die from rapidly fatal health problems such as heart attacks, accidents,suicides and homicides. Women, on the other hand, tend to develop lingering illnesses that often cause years of discomfort. Women spend twice as much money on health care as men do. They also consult doctors more frequently, take more drugs, spend more days in hospitals and have more operations. They also take more sick time off from work. Why The chief causes seem to be genes, hormones and interactions of the two. Many women suffer from chronic conditions like muscle and joint pain, sleep disorder,anxiety, headaches, and fatigue. There is no known cause for them, but they probably result from the body's abnormal response to stress. Women may be more likely than men to have these diseases simply because they are under more stress. A woman is often under tremendous stress to fulfillwhat she sees as her obligations to her family, her community and her employer. Researchers still know little about women's health. There is clearly a need for more research into why women come down with chronic illnesses and what can be done about it.Questions1. What is the main idea of the passage2. What is the speaker's attitude toward women's health problemsStatements1. Women live ten years longer than men.2. The number of women gradually exceeds that of men by age 30.3. Women spend more money on medicine because they are often seriously ill.4. A woman bears a greater responsibility to her family, community and employer than a man does.5. Women can cope with stress better than men.6. Men are likely to die from rapidly fatal health problems while women often complain about stress-related diseases.7. There's still much to be discovered about women's health.Part CMore and more women today can be found in top positions in business and industry. An example of this trend is Jennifer Bradbury. After a very successful career as a model, she becamea clothes designer. Then,with money she had saved and borrowed, she bought part of a small company that manufactured sportswear and became one of its directors. As she says, it was then that "the real battle began". The other directors often asked her opinions about the design and the color of the company's products but they refused to believe she understood anything about the "hard side of business". Jennifer gives an example. She says, "The company sold its sportswear only through small specialist shops. I was sure we would never increase our sales unless we sold through big department stores and even supermarkets. The other two directors didn't like the idea at all at first. They were afraid we would lose some of our traditional customers if we did what I wanted. I think part of the trouble was they didn't take the idea very seriously simply because it came from a woman." But Jennifer and her ideas are certainly taken very seriously now. Under her leadership, the company has increased its sales and the number of customers. It also manufactures a much wider variety of sports clothes, many of them designed by Jennifer herself.Questions1. What does Jennifer do now2. How were the company's products sold in the past3. What does Jennifer mean by "the real battle"[02:]4. What can you learn about Jennifer from the passage。

If an intermediary service is present the process is called electronic commerce. An online shop, e-store, Internet shop, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping mall.

Suppose you were an inventor, what would you like to invent?If I had studied biology and medical science, I would like to invent a drug that would enable people to live a long life, perhaps 200 years or longer.

Millions of people in the United States and elsewhere in the world have shopped on this website.Amazon, like the enormously successful website store eBay, has set up a standard for effective commercial use of the Internet. Originally nothing but a bookseller, Amazon now sells music, clothes, computers, and countless other commodities. They have also expanded their services to include lists of books by users, recommendations, and access to used books.The ease of use of the Amazon website and the feeling of the site as a friendly community is key to their success. Like eBay, it taps the enormous resources of the Internet to create a virtual neighborhood among users.Amazon was launched in 1995 in a garage by Jeffery Bezos, who was born in 1964 in New Mexico and had a degree in computer science and electrical engineering from Princeton University. It now does over $3 billion a year in sales. Jeffery Bezos used doors as desks and his instructions to the temp agencies to which he turned to for staff were: “Send us your freaks.”Today, Amazon is a major threat to brick and mortar stores such as Barnes & Noble and Waldenbooks. The two giant bookstore chains have responded to the challenge by establishing high-profile Web presences with sites that mimic a great deal of what Amazon has developed.Amazon is now well established all over the world as the Web place to go for books. It surely is a great leap from that garage.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationThe 20th century was an age of great inventions and discoveries, which revolutionized human life.

Some people call it “the wonder drug”. Then d o you know who invented it? It was Felix Hoffmann, a German scientist, who worked this wonder.On March 6, 1999 the maker of aspirin, the German company Bayer celebrated Hoffmann’s discovery. The activity marked the 100th anniversary of aspirin’s launch.Berlin’s Imperial Patent Office granted Bayer a trademark for aspirin on March 6, 1899, but the company was denied patent protection because of its similarity to earlier discoveries. For this reason, aspirin was sold initially in powder form. However, it later became the first drug to be sold as a tablet.A Spanish philosopher summed up the remedy’s influence in the 1930s saying that modern man lived in “the age of the aspirin”. One hundred years after its introduction, Bayer’s annual sales total about 1 billion marks, which equals US$555 million. Even in the 21st century, aspirinsales remain strong. The wonder drug is now widely used as a preventive treatment for heart attacks and strokes.Aspirin is simple to make and even easier to administer. Like Coca-Cola and Levi’s, it is one of the brands to have gone beyond cultures, borders and generations to enjoy almost universal recognition. The drug has now become as enduring an element of life in the 21st century as the car and television.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationThe research on aspirin began in 1897 by Felix Hoffmann, a German chemist at Bayer Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company. Two years later, in May 1899, Bayer began selling it around the world. Aspirin’s popularity grew in the first half of the 20th century, spurred by its use in treating the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. In the past several decades, scientists have found that aspirin is effective as an anti-clotting agent that reduces the risk of clotting diseases. It is now widely used as a preventive treatment for heart attacks and strokes.2.Felix Hoffmann(1868-1946) a German chemist. Hoffmann studied medicine in Munich and joined Bayer’s research department in 1894. He is believed to be the first to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid intoa usable form for medical applications. Bayer later marketed it as aspirin.3. BayerBayer Group, the third largest chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturer in the world, founded in 1863. The firm is a leader in research and development, spending nearly 12 percent of its revenues on this segment.4. A Spanish philosopher …“the age of the aspirin”.The Spanish philosopher praised aspirin very highly. It is because the drug was widely used and considered very effective in reducing fever in treating the 1918 flu (also called Spanish flu), which was believed to have killed as many as 2.5-5% of human population from March 1918 to June 1920.However, a century later, some people began to question the use of aspirin in treating Spanish flu. They hold that aspirin’s quick action of relief of pain or fever might have masked the symptoms, delayed the treatment and made it more difficult to find the right remedy.Exercise 1Listen to the recording and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1.

Now discuss the following questions with your partner and then give an oral presentation of your reflections on the stories. You may organize your presentation by linking up your answers to the questions.Guiding QuestionsFor “”1.Is a familiar name to you?2.What do you think of Jeffery Bezos?

Why?2.What is the usual life span of a drug? Why do some drugs cease to be used?3.How popular is aspirin?4.What new use has been found for aspirin?5.What is the drug mainly used for today?Possible Answers (for the teacher’s reference)For “” is known to most of us as online shopping is getting more and more popular.It is amazing that Amazon, which started its business in a garage, could have become the w orld’s leading online shopping website today. I think its founder Jeffery Bezos is really an inventive entrepreneur. At the days when companies were still at their early stages, he had the foresight to see the great potential of the commercial use of the Internet and opened an online bookshop, using a garage as his office and doors as desks. Now it has grown to be a website to go for books all over the world and a seller of every kind of commodity and service one can think of.Personally I haven’t d one any shopping on this website. I guess it would be far too expensive to have things shipped to me from the United States. My experience with online shopping is restricted to and .Shopping online is great. With a few clicks on the Internet, we can quickly seek out best deals for the goods or services we want to buy with different sellers. As online stores are available 24 hours a day, it is both convenient and time-saving. And the best thing about it is its lower price. Very ofte n we can get a discount. However, there’s no denying that online shopping also has its disadvantages. Sometimes the delivery is delayed and sometimes the merchandise delivered may not be as good as we thought it would be. But in spite of all these, shopping online has certainly revolutionized our way of buying things.For “Wonder Drug”Aspirin is really a wonderful drug. It has existed for over one hundred years, yet is still widely used to treat all kinds of illnesses. A century is a very long period of time indeed. During such a period, many other drugs were developed, marketed, used, and then disappeared. Some were replaced by their improved versions. Some were banned due to serious side effects discovered later in use. But aspirin, marketed in Germany by the end of the 19th century, is able to cross borders and enter the medicine cabinets of people’s homes across the world. No cultural differences or generation gaps can stop its spread. It has joined the ranks of famous brands like Coca-Cola and Levi’s to receive almost universal recognition.And the most amazing thing is that just when people are beginning to have second thoughts about using the drug as a fever reliever, some new use is found for the drug. Today it is largely taken as a preventive drug for heart attacks and strokes.No wonder some people call it “the wonder drug”.Part CTest Your ListeningA Compound DictationListen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.Nowadays in the United States, there are 1) 200,000 miles of pipeline, 170,000 gas stations and 243 million vehicles using petroleum fuels.Guy Nègre, the 2) founder and CEO of Motor Development International, is hoping to change all that.

The wheel is one of the oldest and one of the most important inventions in history.Before it was invented, people could only travel on foot or on horseback. This kind oftraveling was neither comfortable nor fast. The wheel revolutionized transportation andmade travelling become convenient and fast. In the Industrial Revolution, the wheel wasused in mechanical devices as well, in addition to transportation.2. The computer is undoubtedly one of the most important inventions in modern history.The picture shows an office room with two computers. Indeed, the computer has become so useful and so common that it is hard to imagine our life without it. As technology develops in the future, new uses of the computer will make our lives even better, easier and moreenjoyable.3. This is a picture of Thomas Edison. We also see in this picture one of his famousinventions — the electric light bulb. The light bulb dramatically improved people’s lives.Now we can hardly imagine spending the night in darkness. Edison was sometimes called a genius, because he made countless inventions, big and small. But he achieved successthrough hard work.

Unit 3 CouragePart APre-listening T askQuestions for Discussion1.What is courage? Can you give an example of a courageous act by someone you admire?2.What are some qualities that courageous people have?3.Does courage always involve risk-taking? Are you willing to take risks for the safety ofothers?4.Do you think courage is a virtue mostly found in strong and powerful people? Why or whynot?Demo:1. What is courage? Can you give an example of a courageous act by someone you admire?In my opinion, courage is a quality of bravery and it takes many forms. It takes courage to risk one’s life in a dangerous situation to save others, and it takes courage to stand up for what is right. For example, Abraham Lincoln was born in an ordinary family and knew the hard life and inhuman treatment for the black slaves. So later on when he became the President of the United States, he was determined with courage to change the laws during the American Civil War and brought about the emancipation of the slaves. That’s why he was considered to be one of the most distinguished heroes in American history and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. was dedicated to him.Additional Question for DiscussionCan courage be taught? What can we do to cultivate in children the virtue of courage?Demo:Y es, courage can be taught and can be learned. To cultivate in children the virtue of courage, we can tell them stories and show them movies about courageous people and courageous acts; we can encourage them to be confident, bold and daring; and we can set examples of courage through what we do ourselves.

She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, but felt something wasn’t quite right about her hair. She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door.Moments later, the earthquake struck. Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. Then everything began crashing down.Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury but were unable to make their way out. The ceiling of an entire room towered above the only possible escape route. Completely detached on three sides, the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. To an observer, it could drop at any moment.People were screaming and didn’t know what to do. Krimali decided to act. Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron. She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, she could make her way to safety. She paused to figure out the best way down. As there wasn’t any good place to jump, she just jumped. Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. Emboldened by her good fortune, Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationOn the morning of January 26, 2001, a powerful earthquake measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale struck Gujarat, a state in western India. It was the most deadly earthquake in India’s recorded history, killing an estimated 20,000 people and leaving many more injured. Countless numbers of houses and buildings were destroyed and in some places entire towns and villages were reduced to rubble. The Gujarat earthquake is yet another reminder of the frailty of humankind at the hands of nature. The two listening texts in this unit report an incident that occurred during the earthquake. It is, however, not an account on human helplessness, but one on human courage in the face of disaster and danger.2.immediate familySomebody’s immediate family is his/her direct family members, such as his/her spouse, parents and children.3.

Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. Crying uncontrollably, the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not part with her baby. As the mother tried to decide what to do, Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. Finally the mother tossed the baby. Krimali made a clean catch. A bright smile lit up the woman’s face. “I’ll be back!”Krimali called out, hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out to where survivors had gathered.She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished.On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extremely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the baby’s mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved.Language and Culture Notes1.

Discuss the following questions with your partner and then give an oral presentation of your reflections on the story. You may organize your presentation by linking up your answers to the questions.Guiding QuestionsAbout Krimali and her courage1.Do you think Krimali is a hero?2.What quality did she show immediately after the earthquake struck?3.What did she decide to do while others screamed and did not know what to do?4.What were the dangers that Krimali faced in order to make her way to safety?5.Did the dangers intimidate her?6.What quality did Krimali show in her decision to help others trapped in the building?7.Do you think Krimali had the responsibility to go back to the ruins and rescue the others?8.How many lives were saved thanks to her courage?9.Do you admire her?

I think Krimali is a hero. She did not panic but maintained her presence of mind in the face of great danger. While others screamed and did not know what to do, she decided to take action. The swaying ceiling above and the sharp spikes of iron beneath did not intimidate her. And her courage made it possible for her to escape from the damaged building.Krimali was also willing to risk her own safety for the sake of others. She was not a trained rescue worker. Her own narrow escape from the devastated building was already a triumph of life over death. Nobody would have blamed her had she not come back to rescue the others. Also, when she asked for help, none of the men was willing to come with her as they feared that the huge ceiling could drop at any moment. However, she disregarded the danger and bravely went ahead with her rescue missions, looking upon it as her duty to do so. Thanks to her selflessness and courage, about two dozen lives were saved.Krimali’s bravery and selfless concern for others exemplify true courage. She is a hero and is worthy of our deepest respect.2. I don’t think the men who refused to help with Krimali’s rescue effort were cowards, but neither were they heroes. When called upon to help their fellow citizens, none of them dared to come forward. The courage of a 17-year-old did not seem to motivate them. They were too afraid and too concerned about their own safety to take risks for the good of others. They lacked what Krimali had: courage and selflessness.However, although they failed the tests of courage and selflessness, their behavior was in a way understandable. Not many people are as noble as Krimali, who put other people’s lives before her own. These bystanders were merely ordinary people, not heroes. Of course their behavior, though not without a reason, should not be encouraged.Part CTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. Where was the speaker’s office?a. The 88th floor, north tower.b. The 78th floor, north tower.c. The 88th floor, south tower.d. The 78th floor, south tower.2. Why did the speaker and others escape into a corner office?a. The corridors were full of flames and everything was on fire.b. They heard that the stairwells were gone.c. They didn’t want to make their way down on foot.d. The corner offices were safe as the carpets there were fire-proof.3. What happened to the speaker and others when they reached the 40th floor?a. The firemen came up and stopped them.b. They were told to stop to make way for the firefighters.c. They stopped to help the firemen carry the heavy equipment.d. They came to a complete stop as a great many people were there.4. What can be inferred from the passage?a. The speaker was the last to escape from the building because he had an artificial leg.b. The building collapsed immediately after the speaker got out.c. Many people died because they got trapped in elevators.d. During the journey down, many people showed care and concern for others.Script:When the first plane slammed into the World Trade Center’s north tower, I was already at my desk on the 88th floor. Then I felt the whole building bouncing, shaking. My instinct told me that there was an explosion above us and that we should try to get out, but the corridors were full of flames.Knowing that the furniture and the carpets were fire-resistant, I figured that everything wasn’t going to burn. Then I heard someone yell that the stairwells (楼梯井) were gone. So about 40 of us escaped into a corner office. We put papers and rags under the door to keep out the smoke as best we could. We stayed calmly in the office for about 10 minutes, thinking we were safe and secure. Then someone came in to tell us that he had found a stairwell open but we had to move fast. We all filed out orderly and headed for the stairwell.Going down the stairs was not easy for me for I had lost a leg to cancer when I was 16 and wore an artificial limb. More or less, I used my arms to get down.When we reached the 40th floor, we came to a complete stop. There was a jam of people. The firemen were coming up the stairs, carrying their equipment. Some 100 firefighters must have walked past us. Some of them looked so young that they seemed hardly out of high school. But they were great, assuring us that they would take care of everything. Eventually we kept moving and got out.The journey down took about 40 minutes.Part DTime to TalkLook at these pictures and describe them one by one.

We can recall the work of firemen. At that time the World Trade Center was still burning, and bits of the building were falling down and the dust filled the air.These firemen showed great courage and risked their own lives in their rescue work. In fact, quite a number of firemen lost their lives while saving the lives of others.2.This picture shows a man diving from the top of a cliff to the blue water of the sea. Thissport is called cliff diving, one of the extreme sports. It’s very exciting and dangerous for people to dive from such high cliffs. We also see a boat and some people waiting for the diver.3.We see Martin Luther King Jr. waving to a big crowd. We can also see the WashingtonMonument in the background. Martin Luther King was a famous civil rights leader in the 1960s. He believed that non-violence was the key to stopping racial discrimination. King was good at public speaking. His most famous speech was “I Have a Dream”. Sadly, King was assassinated in 1969 by a white extremist.Movie TimeWord Bankengine n.发动机rudder n.舵visibility n.可见度log n.日志exclusive a.专用的helmet n.头盔goggle n.护目镜rip v.撕paradise n.天堂blimp n.小型飞船Cross your heart! 你发誓!Script:- All engines ahead, let’s take her up to 26000 feet!

Unit 14 WomenTeaching ProceduresI. Objectives of Unit 14II. Part A: Pre-listening TasksIII. Part B: Listening TasksSpeaking TasksLeisure TimeIV. Part C: Additional ListeningV. Part D: Home ListeningI. Objectives:1. Familiarizing the topic of women2. Grasping some useful sentences3. Doing listening tasks for both general understanding and details4. Practicing speaking tasks5. Doing additional listeningII. Part A: Pre-listening Tasks:1. Arrange the Ss in pairs and ask them to discuss the following questions in their books.2. Bring the Ss’ attention to the Language Focus box and tell them that they can use thesentences and structures in the box in their conversations.3. Give general help to the Ss, esp. the weaker ones.4. If time permits, or if the Ss belong to the more advanced group, ask them to discuss theadditional questions below:Questions for Discussion1. Which sex tends to live a longer life, male or female?2. What might be some of the reasons for this difference in the length of life between men and women?3. Are women less intelligent, less capable, weaker than men? Why or why not? Give examples to illustrate your point.4. What were the traditional roles of women? Do you think they were unfair to women?5. Do women receive equal treatment at present? How do women feel about it?6. Is it possible for a woman to be successful in her career and take good care of her family at the same time?Demo:4. What were the traditional roles of women? Do you think they were unfair to women?The traditional roles of women vary according to their culture and religion. In the traditional Chinese society, women were oppressed and disrespected. The traditional role of women in China centered around the home, where they were expected to serve their families. Men dominated the Chinese society while women were subordinate to their fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. Arranged marriages left women with virtually no voice in the society. Chinese women did not have rights or privileges. So their roles were certainly unfair.In the West and in many parts of the world, traditionally when a couple got married, the man was considered to be the head of the family, and his wife was expected to defer to him. Generally, the wife would be expected to be in charge of the household, to provide food, and to raise and carefor the children. In a Jewish society, women of all classes were generally expected to be the family doctors, since professional doctors were often not available. Women would be expected to have a good knowledge of first aid and medicine, be able to make their own home remedies, treat wounds, etc.Additional Question for DiscussionDo you think that women in China have ample opportunities to develop their potential? Why or why not?Demo:Some do, some don’t. First, opportunities are a limited resource in most places. Compared to the number of people who want them, there are simply not enough of them. Second, there’s the traditional or popular concept about women’s role. They are the weaker sex and their status is comparatively lower than men at home. Third, physically and psychologically speaking, women are faced with some special challenges, like giving birth to children. So, only those women who are well prepared, highly motivated, hard-working, and have a bit of good luck will get an opportunity to fully develop their potential.III.Part B: Listening & Speaking Tasks1.Listening Task – TextsText1 Women in BusinessTeaching Steps:1)Introduce some background information about the unit.2)Play the tape of Text 1 once and ask the students to do Exercise 1. Tell them to concentrate onunderstanding the text as a whole at this stage.3)Ask the students if they have any difficulties with language or cultural points in the text.Explain them if necessary.4)Play the tape once again and ask the students to do Exercise 2.Background and InformationWomen’s position in society has improved since the middle of the last century. They now enjoy the right to vote and have the same educational opportunities as men do in most countries. But this is the result of a long and hard struggle. In France, for example, women did not even have the right to open their own mail until 1923 and did not have the right to vote until 1944. And until 1965, no married woman was allowed to open her own bank account without her husband’s written consent.And even today women are still discriminated against in various ways. In many countries, women do not get equal pay for equal work. In France, women’s salary is about 75% that of men and in Britain, the situation is similar with women still earning only 79% of men’s full-time hourly pay. As regards work types, most women are in clerical and secretarial jobs, which are undervalued and underpaid. And there are far fewer women than men in top positions in various spheres of life. In our own country, when university graduates apply for an opening in a company, boys are usually preferred. To win equal treatment for women, there is still much to do.Language and Culture Notes2.they stuck to age-old traditions that she couldn’t follow — long lunches and late-night meetingsthey strictly observed those very old traditions without considering that she was now a mother and had a baby to take care of; they talked about business during long lunches and spent extra hours after work having meetings, so she could find little time to be with her baby3. It was too much pressure and I felt like I was being sabotaged.I felt that I was being deliberately placed under more pressure than I could bear.4. And they stay in the workforce.They don’t quit their jobs after they get married.5. Frenchwomen see no need to abandon femininity and elegance in the business world French businesswomen do not think it necessary to give up their feminine charm while doing businessText2 Are Women the Weaker Sex?Teaching Steps:1) Play the tape of Text 2 once and ask the students to do Exercise 1. Tell them to concentrate onunderstanding the text as a whole at this stage.2) Ask the students if they have any difficulties with language or cultural points in the text.Explain them if necessary.3) Play the tape once again and ask the students to do Exercise 2.Language and Culture Notes1. Mother Nature favors her own sex when it comes to longevitySo far as the length of life is concerned, Nature, represented traditionally as a female, seems to have a partiality for women and bestows on them the good fortune of a longer life.2. men actually get a head start in the battle of the sexesmore boys were actually born than girls3. they then leave men in the dust, with three women alive for every man by age 85by age 85, more men have died and the ratio of surviving women to men is 3 to 12.
