Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
One of the most important factors arising from the feminist movement is the recognition
that women, should get equal pay for equal work, to see them as contributors and valued
members of society. Today, women are protected by the Sex Discrimination Act; however,
inequality still persists. It also reveals that the changing role of women in society by means
of education as a way to promote themselves to the level of their expertise is not working as effectively as it should.
In most fields of employment women's presence is felt and their voice is heard. Although
there has been progress in understanding the value of women's contributions in many
employment fields, there are still huge problems to resolve. Persistence of gender
inequalities show that the proportion of women in top jobs is minimal compared to the entire women's task force.
Even in the best qualified jobs women suffer the discrimination of being underpaid. So,
what is the problem? Nowadays many women are qualified for the career they have trained
for, yet it seems that only a small minority finds its way to the top. Are we back to the old
theme of women raising children? Time devoted to them and the home does not permit a
total devotion to a. top job. The majority of women who are successful, either do not have a
family or rely heavily on grandmothers. Other women find part-time more accommodating
to their need or choice of life.
36. Thanks to the Sex Discrimination Act, women can get the real equality with men.
a. True b. False c. No information
37. Education has changed women's roles quite effectively.
a. True b. False c. No information
38. Women who have got the best qualified jobs are always paid as much as men are.
a. True b. False c. No information
