When the waitress came over, I asked her if she knew them. She said she did. She said it was the elderly man’s birthday today. On hearing this, I wanted to do something for them, so I told the   7  that I wanted to buy them the lunch and gave her the money.

Some time later, the elderly couple came over to   8  us. They were so excited that someone had bought them lunch. It was really a big   9  for them. They said that they had been a little   10  because their own son and daughter seemed to have   11  the old man’s birthday. But they were really cheered up by my   12 .

My son was surprised that I had paid for this couple who we didn’t know. He asked me why I did it.

A large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.

    “Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.

    Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.

    “I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you’re a man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there ... or engineers or scientists?”
