A man who dissents with generally accepted views ______.
A.should announce his dissent
B.should be willing to be persecuted by others
C.should assent to the accepted view to achieve harmony
D.must be sincere
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill those jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is thus appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries.
These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role. Informal distinctions between "women's work" and "men's work" in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance.
So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences are largely learned.
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
Women's place, some people think, is within the protective environment of the home because______.
A.women can provide better care for the children
B.women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all
C.women are biologically suited to domestic jobs
D.women cannot compete with men in any field

Osteoporosis and Men
Mention the word osteoporosis in the manly world of testosterone(睾丸素),professional basketball and the XFL(美国最新的职业足球联合会),and you’re likely to get a wave of the hand and a dismissive(轻蔑的)“That’s a woman’s disease.”Not S0.More than 2 million American men have been found to have the thinning bones and skeletal(骨骼的)weakness of osteoporosis(骨质疏松症),and an additional 3 million are at an increased risk of developing them.
It’s true that osteoporosis strikes women with much greater frequency than men-in some studies as much as four to six times as often.But that’s no reason to brush it off as“their’ disease.It's a mere stroke of gender luck that men’s bones tend to grow larger。stronger and denser.Also paying dividends are those spots that boys(and,increasingly,girls)play as children—running up and down basketball coups,soccer and baseball fields.As it happens.physical activity is one of the more important ways to increase bone density and protect bone health.
But even the most active men cannot ignore certain facts of life.All of US build up Our bones during the first three decades of life,typically reaching peak bone mass in the early 30s.Around the age of 35,we begin gradually to lose some of this bone mass.Women ultimately give up between 30%.Though mass loss in men is lower, it still makes US vulnerable to back pains and bone fractures.In fact,this year alone American men will suffer as many as half a million osteoporosis-related breaks,mostly in the spine,hip and wrist.These are not only painful;thousands die each year from fracture—related complications.
For many of US,however, there’s still time.Of all the side effects of aging,osteoporosis is one of the more preventable.through diet,exercise and changes in lifestyle.The two key nutritional substances for bone health are calcium(钙)。which makes bones stronger, and vitamin D,which helps the body absorb the calcium.
Exercising is also important。with emphasis on weight-bearing activities in which bones and muscles work against gravity.Lifting weights and working out on resistance machines can help preserve bone density.
Be careful about what’s in your medicine cabinet.Prolonged use of some medications,such as steroids(类固醇),can weaken your bones.Smoking and drinking are both bad for bones。as is prolonged weightlessness,for anybody who plans to work on the space station.

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex-- both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman's place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are "dependents".
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role. Informal distinctions between "women's work" and "men's work" in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned. But to the degree people actually believe that geology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
Women's place, some people think, is the protective environment of the home because ______.
A.women can provide better care for the children
B.women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all
C.women are biologically suited to domestic jobs
D.women can not compete with men in any field
TEXT A
A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Because they do not breathe as often as women, men also need more oxygen. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air when it is polluted.
Men's bones are larger than women's and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis, which makes him stride out with no waste motion. A woman's wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway as she walks.
If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean out the roof gutters,don't forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman's thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling.
A man's skin is thicker than a woman's and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun's radiation from getting through,which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter.Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps insulate them against heat. Men's fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass. 41 percent of a man's body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power.
When we mention strength, almost 90 percent of a man's weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of a woman's weight.
The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself.So when a man wants to loss weight,the pounds roll off much faster. For all men's muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy, but the fat tucked away in women's nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack.
Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women on treadmills discovered that over the years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percent of what she could do when she was twenty. A man of sixty has only 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old.
That boys suffer more from air pollution can possibly be justified by the fact that
[A] the male have larger bones than the female.
[B] women can manufacture blood more efficiently than men.
[C] men usually breathe more deeply than women.
[D] women breathe as often as men.
