【答案解析】[听力原文]
   M: Mary, do you think you've ever been discriminated against because you're a woman?
   W: Well, let's see, I have two answers for that. The first answer is yes—that's my gut feeling. But sometimes I think no, I'm not being discriminated against. I just need to try harder. I guess I'm saying yes and no. Look, we're in a society where discrimination is definitely going on in the business world. I see women getting paid less than men do, for the same position. And often women get jobs as assistants—but they're the ones who do all the work! Also there's this "old boys' club," the support network that men have. Men do help each other, and they could help women, too. But they don't.
   M: So then you're saying that men do have an easier time of it.
   W: Yeah. It is easier for men. But I have mixed feelings. Sometimes I think that I'm just making excuses for myself. What I ask myself is, am I good enough? Am I as good as the men? Perhaps I'm not. But I really believe that if I do the work necessary in the business world, I'll be able to be as successful as any man. I think that there's much more of a level playing field than there was before.  There's much more opportunity now for women than when I was younger.
   M: And, do you think successful women help other women?
   W: Yes, I do. Women tend to think of helping themselves and helping other people, too. And I hope that I can help to increase the opportunities for many young girls—as well as boys.
   M: You want to help boys also?
   W: Of course! It's cool for everyone to be successful. And I do see progress in the future. I really do.
