In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk.
As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.
It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.
It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.
"Well, "my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."
"Did what?" I asked, utterly confused.
"Took the chair."
Actually, since I'd walked. through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.
Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A.men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk
B.women are becoming more capable than before
C.in women's liberation men are also liberated
D.it's safe to break rules of social behaviour
The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always tree. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A ease in point is that of Mafia Vivas, a Catalan-woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?
A.No, under no circumstances.
B.Yes, whenever he wished to.
C.Yes, if his father-in-law agreed,
D.Yes, if she agreed.

Why does a commuter(持火车月票的乘客) always look as if he has just been through a war? Here is a story of a commuter.
Mr. Green gets up very early every day and eats a quick breakfast. Then he makes his wife drive him to the station. He arrives on time, but his train doesn't. When it finally comes, he squeezes on and finds there are no more seats. He has to stand with his bag between his knees. There is simply no room to put it down. Suddenly a cold wind hits him in the face. The window is broken! He remembers this summer. At that lime the same window didn't even open.
The conductor makes his way through the crowd and asks for the commuter's ticket. The ticket, of course, is buried deep in the poor man's breast pocket. He digs for it. The conductor waits impatiently.

If Mr. Green had got up several minutes later, he ______.
A.would have missed the train
B.might still have been able to catch the train
C.wouldn't be sad
D.would have been away from a war
Percy Arrowsmith, 105, and his 100-year-old wife were married on June 1,1925. They met at their church in Hereford in western England.
