One book, may tell you how to earn more money, another may tell you how to save or spend it, and another may explain how to give your money away.

Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book "How to Turn Failure into Success". If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book "How to Make a Millionaire". If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called "How to Live on Nothing".

One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you want to have a better love of life, you can read "How to Succeed in Love every Minute of Your Life".

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer from 55 to 59.

It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters.

Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing and cooking.

According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.

Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.

A. Working in authority B. Doing housework

C. Doing cooking D. Bearing and rearing children

C. Enjoy their housework D. Illiteracy

Question 58. The outdated beliefs about women's roles ......................

A. have been eradicated completely B. disappeared soon after the women's liberation movement

C. still exist at present . D. was forced to change after the women's liberation movement

Question 59. According to the text, women in the 21st century .

A. do not have to do housework any more

B. are still the victims of family violence in some rural areas

C. get help from their husbands with all housework
