现在我们按照惯例先听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说亨利跟小女儿琳达谈起了 妇女就业的问题. 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.

F: Dad, did Grandma go to the university when she was young?

M: No, she wasn't encouraged to do that.

F: Why not?

M: Well, at that time it was considered improper for a woman to have a higher education.

Grandma got married when she was eighteen and she spent all her life taking care of her husband and the kids.

F: You mean she never had a job?

M: No, women were told that they could not have a family and a career at the same time.

F: Mother could. She has a family and she is also a teacher. Isn't that a career?

M: Yes. Time has changed. Nowadays women are permitted to do things that they were not allowed to do before.

下面老师用慢速度再把整段对话念一遍给你听.
