【正确答案】Some people claim that women should go back home to be full time housewives so as to give more opportunities to men. I have always been surprised by such statements. Disagreeing with this opinion, I think women should work as they like, which will not pose any obstacle to men.
Firstly, it is women's right to go out of the home and work just as men do. In the spirit of gender equality, it is natural for women to enjoy the same rights as men do, including working. Women deserve this right because they are no less capable and intelligent than men. This is proved by stories of many successful women, such as Madam Curie and Helen Keller. Since women are far from being inferior to men, it is perfectly justified that they are not bound to do household chores.
Secondly, if women are engaged in some work, it will create more opportunities for men instead of causing difficulties. As it is known, women are better at some specific sorts of work, such as office work like typing, service work like stewardess and some artistic work as well. Of course, that does not mean women are inferior to men in other kinds of work, for example, management. Therefore, if women can take on these kinds of work, it will spare men a lot of efforts, which they can spend to do work they are better at and make more achievements.
In sum, women should have the freedom to work as men do. This is the justifiable right of women. Furthermore, if women can go out of the home to do some work, it will create more opportunities for men's work. Therefore, it is improper to state that women should go back home to be full time housewives so as to give more opportunities to men.
【答案解析】[解析]
作者在文章开头开门见山地阐明了自己的观点:妇女不该只做全职太太,应该按照她们自己的意愿来选择工作,而且这并不会对男性造成任何障碍。
然后,作者依次解释了自己的两个理由:
首先,从男女平等的角度来看,女性应具有同男性一样的自由选择工作的权利。引用了居里夫人和海伦·凯勒作为例子,证明妇女在工作能力方面并不比男性差,不应只限于从事家庭琐事。
第二,认为妇女从事一定的工作,不但不会对男性造成任何障碍,而且有利于给男性创造更多的机会。例如,妇女更擅长于文秘、接待、艺术等方面的工作,如果让妇女从事这类工作,能够使男性节省更多的时间和精力来从事他们所擅长的工作。
最后,作者重申了自己的观点,总结了妇女应该自由选择工作的理由。
