Sociologists（社会学家）, working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany.

“Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Helen, one of the sociologists who had done the study.

Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives at all. When wives go out to work, the home and children can't be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice room and bringing up the children. 

Some women didn’t agree. They say they want to go out of their rooms and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.

Ann Harper has a very good job, she also believe in “Women’ Liberation”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think women do. But I do wish people stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less.

      A. women can’t do what men can

2. Anne Harper didn’t wish to be a man        .

A. Because she believed in women’s liberation

B. but she wished to get the same job as men

C. but she wished to be treated the same as a man

D. because she had a good job

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
