Write your answers (A, B, C or D) in the spaces provided on the right. (5 pts)
Although women now make up almost half of all workers in the US, nearly 80 percent of them are employed in low-
paying clerical, sales, service, or factory jobs. Approximately a third of all women workers have clerical jobs, which pay on
average $12,000 or less. Partly as a result, women make only seventy-five cents for every dollar earned by men. Moreover,
men routinely make more money even when education, experience, and responsibilities are equal.
The gap in male-female earning has great significance because more than 16 percent of U.S. households are headed
by women. Low-paying jobs keep many of these households in poverty. Women's groups such as National Organization for
Women have demanded that equal opportunities and equal pay be given to women. According to women's activist Maggie
McAnany, "It is imperative that the government help to change the situation of employment for women. We cannot wait for
the companies to reform themselves. Change must come through the law."
1. The passage is mainly about _____. ______________
A. The Women's Liberation Movement in the US

A. there are as many women as men B. there are almost as many women as men
C. there are very few women D. women are in the majority

A. men work harder than women
B. sex is not used to judge workers
C. women workers do not receive equal pay for equal work
D. women workers are paid as high as men workers
4. In the US, men get higher pay _____. ______________
A. just because they are men B. because they are better qualified
C. because they are experienced D. because they are more responsible
5. According to Maggie McAnany, _____. ______________
