6、y still have a long way to go. They are only in the early stages of their struggle to get what they want and to get men to change their ideas. But Im still an embryo With a long, long way to go Until I make my brother understand,BR2.1,Feminism,In the 1960s feminism (=the belief that women and men ar
7、e equal in abilities and should have equal rights and opportunities) became the subject of intense debate when the womens liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay. Since t
8、hen the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. However, the battle between feminist and traditional views of a womans role continues. It is widely accepted by younger people that women should, if they wish, be allowed to develop their careers and not give up work when they have a family.,II,
9、BR2.1-1,Feminism has brought about many changes in the English language. Many words for job titles that included “man” have been replaced, for example “police officer” is used instead of “policeman” and “chairperson” for “chairman”. “He” is now rarely used to refer to a person when the person could
10、be either a man or a woman. The title “Ms” is used for women instead of “Miss” or “Mrs”, since it does not show whether a woman is married or not.,BR2.1-11,BR2.1-22,BR2.1-23,BR2.1.24,BR2.2,The Brooklyn Bridge,BR2.2.1,The Brooklyn Bridge, built in 1883, spans the East River in New York City. The brid
11、ge connects the densely populated boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The bridge was designed by the American engineer John Augustus Roebling, and construction was begun in 1869 by his son Washington Augustus Roebling. When the Brooklyn Bridge was opened for use on May 24, 1883, it was the longest s
12、uspension bridge in the world. The main suspension span is 486m (1595ft) long; the average height above the river is 41m (133ft); and the overall length is 2065m (6775ft). Numerous techniques devised by Roebling made this bridge possible, including the use of caissons (watertight chambers) for build
13、ing the bridges stone towers and of steel wire for the cables. To allow tall-masted sailing ships to pass under,II,BR2.2.2,bridge, Roebling positioned the road deck 36.6m (120ft) above the water. Stone towers, which rose to a height of 84.3m (276.5ft), made this high roadway possible and made the br
14、idge the tallest structure in New York at its completion. The span from tower to tower of just over 486m (1,595ft) and the span between cable anchors of 1,054m (3,456ft) constituted a remarkable achievement. The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City perhaps best demonstrates the scale of building made po
15、ssible by the rapid expansion of American industry and by American ambition. The expression selling the Brooklyn Bridge to somebody means tricking somebody in a deal.,BR2.2-tu1,BR2.2-tu2,BR2.2-tu-3,BR2.3.1,Geographical Location,It is in the western area of the south central United States and bordere
16、d by Colorado and Kansas on the north and Missouri and Arkansas on the east. South and west of Oklahoma is Texas, and on the western edge of Oklahomas Panhandle lies New Mexico.,II,BR2.3.11,BR2.3.2,A Land of Great Diversity,It is a transitional state both physically and culturally. It varies from th
17、e wooded mountains of the more humid east to the sparse and dry country of the western plains. The changing landscape of Oklahoma is reflected in its economic activities, which range from the raising of wheat in western and central areas to the lumbering that is carried on in the Ouachita Mountains
18、in the southeastern part of the state.,II,BR2.3.3,The Origin of Its Name,The name Oklahoma was derived by combining the Choctaw words for “red” and “people”. Part of the states area had been originally put aside for settlement of Native Americans and was known as Indian Territory. The other section
19、of the state, Oklahoma Territory, was gradually opened for white settlement toward the end of the 19th century. Oklahoma earned its nickname, the Sooner State, from the fact that some land-hungry settlers, known as the Sooners, jumped the starting gun that was to open one section of the territory to
20、 settlers and rushed in to take land before they were legally entitled to do so.,II,BR2.3.4,Political position,Oklahoma was admitted to the Union on November 16, 1907, as the 46th state. Resulting from the combination of Indian and Oklahoma territories, the state retains marked features of its Nativ
21、e American heritage in the makeup of its population and the Indian place-names in the state.,II,BR2.4,The University of Oklahoma,The University of Oklahoma is a public coeducational institution of higher education in Norman, Oklahoma, with branch campuses in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
