Fatimah Bamun dropped out of Balizenda Primary School in the first grade, when her father refused to buy her pencils and paper. Only after her teachers said to him that his daughter showed unusual promise(有希望) did he change his mind. Today, Fatimah, 14, tall and slender, studies math in a dirt-floored fourth-grade classroom.
Whether she will reach the fifth grade is another matter. Fatimah is facing the realities of a school with no toilet, no water, no hope of privacy (隱私) other than the shadow of a bush, and no girlfriends with whom to share feelings. Fatimah is the only girl of the 23 students in her class. In fact, in a school of 178 students, she is one of the only three girls who have made it past the third grade.
“I have no friend in the class,” she said. “Most of my friends have dropped out to get married. So during the break, I just sit in the classroom and read.”
Her father, however, now says he is fully behind her. “The people from the government are all the time telling us to send our daughters to school, and I am listening to these people,” he said.
But in many cases, parents don’t listen. Parents think that if the girls stay home, they can help with the harvesting, fetch the water and collect the firewood. So they take them out of school.
In a region where poverty, tradition and ignorance make about 24 million girls not even have an elementary school education. There are many other barriers (障礙) that prevent girls going to school, such as the lack of school toilets and water.
The issue is not only equality. The World Bank thinks that if women in sub-Saharan Africa had equal education, land and other wealth, the region’s economy could improve greatly. There is a connection between growth in Africa and sex equality. It is of great importance but still ignored by so many people.
【小題1】The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _______.
| A．find the cause of Africa’s poverty |
| B．describe the poor education conditions of African girls |
| C．prove the inequality in African society |
| D．reform the present schooling systems in Africa |
| A．Fatimah is a girl who shows signs of success for the future. |
| B．Fatimah’s father is now giving a lot of support to her. |
| C．Fatimah is the only girl who has made it past the fifth grade in her school. |
| D．Fatimah has no friends at school because they most of them have dropped out to get married. |
| A．most African girls are treated equally in society |
| B．African governments don’t care whether girls go to school or not |
| C．most African girls would rather get married than go to school |
| D．African girls can’t enjoy equal chances for education |

Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意識形態(tài)) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances.
So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
1.According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_______.
A. cannot compete with men in any field
B. are suited more to domestic jobs than men
C. are sensitive enough to be a good caretaker
D. are too weak to do any agricultural work at all
2.Those who have prejudices against women think that_______.
A. women shouldn’t go out for work
B. women should earn money to add the family income
C. women going out for work should only do “women’s work”
D. women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex
3.The author thinks that the positions women hold outside_______.
A. are determined by what they are better suited to
B. grow out of their household responsibilities
C. represent their breakthrough of sex discrimination
D. are physically and emotionally suitable to them
4.What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. Sex roles are socially determined
B. Sex roles are emotionally and physically determined
C. Sex roles are biologically and psychologically determined
D. Sex roles are determined by education people take
