It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese. The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts to guard the city and the harbor. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao. Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to gamble with their money, whether they lose or win. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins.

They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work. People who hold the opposite views(mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibilities than women：a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decisions, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger views than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing：making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society. This is exactly what they don’t want to give up. The women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill, and to have freedom to choose between a career and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal opportunities. These women have expressed their view forcefully by using the famous statement, “All men are created equal.” They point out that the meaning of this sentence was “all human beings are created equal”. ( )60. People who disagree with the women’s view believe that . A. women can’t do what men canB. men have to work much harder than women C. men can earn money more easily than women D. men’s responsibilities are different from women’s ( )61. Some people holding even stronger views say . (责任编辑：admin) |
