Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?

Many people are afraid to assert (維護(hù)，堅(jiān)持) themselves．Dr．Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low．“There’s always a superior (長(zhǎng)者)around—a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better．’’ But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．

They offer assertiveness training courses, A．T．for short．In the A．T．course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be confident without hurting other people．

In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear．A group taking an A．T．course will help the timid person to lose his fear．But A．T．uses an even stronger motive to share the need．The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．

Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect．If your face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your answers to problems．However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out．

1.The problem the writer talks about is that___________．

A．some people are forced to buy things they don’t like

B．some people are afraid to speak up for their rights

C．many superiors are everywhere

D．some people love to help others find confidence in themselves

2.Why don’t many people feel good about themselves?

A．Because some people have a low self-respect．

B．Because talented people can be found all the time．

C．Because the advice from salesmen is always persuasive．

D．Because people don’t like to exchange ideas with others．

3.What does the underlined word “timid’’ probably means?

A．膽小的 B．有學(xué)問(wèn)的

C．有社交能力的 D．好斗的

4.Which of the following is NOT the thing the A．T．course does?

A．Encourage people to speak out ．

B．Showing people they have a right to be themselves.

C．Helping them to be brave enough．

D．Helping people to assert themselves even if others are hurt．

How many men do housework? Recently a European Commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question, “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!

The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework, many of them said they never helped at all!

But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped.
