Over 30,000 years ago, people from northern Asia went to America. Today we can tell these people Indians.
The Indians went to America because the weather began to change. Northern Asia became very cold.
Everything froze. They had to move or they would die. How did the first Indians go to America? They
walked! Later Columbus found the New World in 1492. At first, only a few Europeans followed. They
traveled to America in boats. For the next 300 years, about 500,000 people went there. Then the number
grew very quickly. From 1815 to 1915, over 32,000,000 Europeans left their countries for the United
States. The biggest groups went from Germany and Italy. These Europeans spoke many different languages.
Most of them took almost no money. They went to America so they could find a better life.

Today?s Women
People like to say: “The hand that rocks (摇动) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” Or they say: “Behind
every successful man, there is a woman.” Now some women still like making their husbands and sons
successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want to be successful as men. Today the best
jobs are still given to men. Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men. Some
women want these things changed. They want to stand beside the men, with the same chances for success.
Now many American women are earning money outside their homes. More than half of the women at the
age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs. In general, working women have more education than those
who stay at home. Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and most of them often
spend their holidays away from home. They like traveling by air. Women?s work had made several changes
in women?s lives and in men?s lives, too. But things are quite different from those in the Middle East
countries. In the Middle East countries, women have to stay at home. Their duty
22
is to look after their
families and do all the housework. They can?t find work outside. When they go out in public, they cover
their faces with something and walk behind their husbands. For the past few years the women?s life has
been changing in those countries. Many women want to play an active role in the society (社会). Though
working gives them few chances of getting married, many men still want to marry them in the old ways.

A. they don?t want to stand behind their husbands in the street B. they think they are more important than men C. they think they are as important as men D. housework troubles them too much

A. they can get better jobs more easily B. they don?t have to do any housework C. they can travel by plane
D. they can be paid better than men
( )39. From this passage we know ___________ .
A. women have the same rights as men today B. women don?t want to work outside their homes
C. more and more women want to play an active role in their countries D. in the Middle East countries all the women stay at home
