Task 2 Text
Gender Equality
1Today women still have an unequal position with men at work. Much of this inequality arises because the central role of women is still seen by a male-dominated society as that of housewife and mother. Many jobs are still seen as men and women’s jobs, with women often having lower pay and fewer promotional prospects and lower status than men. Fewer women than men are employed in managing positions.
A. While…, …
B. be seen as
Sample Sentences:
While these colleagues have different opinions, their cooperation is pleasant. Mr. Li is seen by most colleagues as a friendly man.
女性受聘的工作主要集中在职业级别的底层、不需要技能或需要技能较少的 体力劳动以及普通的低级文书工作，比如打字、归档，这些工作只需要很少的培 训或者根本不需要培训。这些工作通常是女性作为家庭主妇和妻子的传统角色社 会化的延伸，涉及到服务接待、端茶送水、清洁打扫。例如，秘书和打字员经常 为他们的老板（一般是男性）做一些日常性的工作，为他们冲泡咖啡，提供文件 和会后清理会场,使他们工作更轻松。从事小学教育就是照看孩子，护理就是照 顾病人，餐饮服务也不外乎是做做饭菜而已，诸如此类，不一而足。

Model Report
None of us would argue the fact that men and women are born physically different. While the physical differences can be seen and easily measured, the social and political ones are less obvious and have not been given enough attention. For example, men are usually seen as more suitable for more important jobs, and women for caring for families and keeping houses. These are not born differences. They come from what people think about the roles of men and women in a society.
He died of a heart attack during a routine operation .
他在一次普通手术中死于心脏病。 routine low-level clerical jobs 普通的低级文书工作
extension 延伸，扩展
n. the act of extending or being extended e.g. I planned an extension of my holiday.
Many jobs are still seen as men and women’s jobs…than men
Though many jobs can be taken by both men and women, women have less pay and fewer chances for promotions and are generally lower in position than men.
v. to come to being or to notice; to happen; to appear
e.g. Difficulties will arise as we do the work.
Translation: 事故的发生往往由疏忽大意而引起。
Accidents usually arise from carelessness.
No. I don’t think so. Because women often have lower pay and fewer promotional opportunities. Yes. I think so. Nowadays, women and men have equal pay for equal work and women are as capable as men, e.g. Hillary Clinton, U.S. secretary of state, and Marie Curie, Nobel Prize winner.

routine
adj.
常规的； 平常的；

Translation:
她有可能选入国家队。
She's a good prospect for the national team.
2 Women are mainly employed in unskilled and semi-skilled manual jobs and in routine low-level clerical jobs such as typing and filing, which require little or no training. These jobs are often extensions of the traditional domestic roles of housewives and mothers, which include serving and waiting on people, catering for them and clearing up after others. For example, secretaries and typists often serve their (usually male) bosses, organize the office to make things easier for them, making coffee and providing papers for them and clearing up after their meetings. Primary school teaching involves childminding, nursing is caring for the sick, catering involves cooking and the list goes on and on.
