The fort of Japanese male chauvinism—the old guard of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has unintentionally done more than most to, change all that. The sex scandal that marked the brief prime ministership of Mr. Sosuke Uno last summer outraged many women, and helped the opposition to its success in, the upperhouse election in July. Mr. Uno is forgotten, but the resentment (怨恨)of women about their treatment at the hands of men lingers (逗留) on. Over the past few months Japanese women have started campaigning much more vigorously for laws to protect them from sexual bothering at work.
Japan's first lawsuit claiming sexual bothering opened last week in a city court in Fukuoka. A 32-yeasold woman, whose name has been kept from being known (another first), is seeking about $26000 in damages from her former boss and the publishing company she worked for. She claims his sexual hints forced her to leave the company and give up her career. She stakes her claim on the ground, among others, that her rights under article 14 of the Japanese constitution were violated. This guarantees equal treatment for the sexes.
Women's lobbying groups have been springing up all over Japan. The lead has been taken by lawyers at the Second Bar Association in Tokyo. Last month the association held a call-in for women to expose their grievances. Its telephone lines were jammed for six hours. By the end of the session, some 137 formal complaints had been registered. "Nearly 40% of them were from women who had been compelled to have sexual relations with their superiors at work", says Miss Shizuko Sugii, a lawyer with the bar association. Ten of the eases have since been classified as rape or attempted rape.
This passage mainly talks about things in______.

A. old imperial Japan
B. war-time Japan
C. modem Japan
D. future Japan

M: Mom and Dad want to have all the family back home this year, so that's where we'll be. How about you?
W: I plan on having everyone over to my place this year. It really is a lot of work, but I love having my family all together and I like to entertain.
M: You are such a good cook. I'll bet your family loves coming to your place, too.
W: I don't do all the cooking myself. I think everyone enjoys it a little more if they each bring something they have made.

M: What do the men in your family do while the women are doing the cooking?
W: It's the same every year—football. They watch one game after another on Thanksgiving. I tell them that they ought to go out and get some exercise, but they just can' t get away from the TV.
M: I know a lot of men are like that. After dinner we like to go bowling. It's a fun thing to do together as a family. After a couple of games, we go back home and eat the left food.

听力原文: In the Netherlands and Belgium children do not have their fun and presents on Christmas Day as we do. They go to church on Christmas Day, and they have their fun on St. Nicholas Day, which comes on December 6. The night before, they fix something to hold their gifts. Sometimes it is a well-polished shoe, sometimes a plate or a basket, and sometimes they hang up their stockings just as we do. St. Nicholas rides a gray horse or a white donkey and so the children leave water for the animal to drink and something for it to eat. They leave hay or oats or a carrot, and sometimes a piece of bread. In the morning, if they have been good, they find that St. Nicholas has left sweets and fruits and playthings for them. But if they have been bad they find only a rod or a switch.
