Well, you can feel a bit of a 6 at first, he replied, a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and 7 up into the sky. But once you forget yourself, you get caught up in the 8 of controlling something in the air where you cannot follow. You’re on the ground, and the kites are in the air but its you that are making it all 9 Go on, go fly a kite.

I took his advice in the 10 it was meant and, holding the hand of my young daughter so that others would think I was only satisfying a child’s 11 . I bought a rainbow-colored snake. After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air 12 greater ease than I expected. It was only my daughters crying, My go, my go that I realized I’d been holding the string, completely 13 what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime.

The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.

Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks （尖叫）for help. Then the older ones swoop （俯冲）down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree. 1.

It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote. Some people think this is the main reason women are so underrepresented in politics, trade unions and big businesses. Others feel it is simply that they are much too busy doing other things. The old saying “a woman’s place is in home” may seem out of date to most people, but the old, fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual——one only has to watch a few television ads.

In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work. Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money, but generally women do not do the same job: they do different ones that offer lower salaries. The areas women work in are almost all those of “service” : teaching, nursing, catering and cleaning, jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role.

Apart from looking after people during the day at work, women often have to take care of family at home …… 此处隐藏：8274字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
