阅读理解 People often say,“The hand that rocks the cradle(摇篮)rules the world．”and“Behind every successful man there is a woman．”Both these sayings mean the same thing．Men rule the world, but their wives rule them． Most American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves．They want good jobs, and when they work they want to be paid．They also want to be as successful as men． The American women's liberation movement was started by women who didn't want to stand behind successful men．They wanted to stand beside men and have the same chances for success．They didn't want to be told that certain jobs or offices were closed to them．They refused to work side by side with men who did the same work for a higher pay． A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself．If somebody says to her,“You have come a long way, baby．”She will smile and answer,“Not nearly as far as I'm going to go, baby．”This movement is quite new, and many American women don't agree with it．But it has already made some important changes in women's lives and in men's lives, too． |
