Although the women’s rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent development its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were dependents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no property(財(cái)產(chǎn))rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, the “head of the family”. The first public protests against the low position of women were made in the 1830’s. In 1848 the leaders of this movement(some of whom were antislavery activists as well)assembled the first Women’s Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as in the long, hard fight for women’s vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱).They were said to be immoral(不道德的),and their ideas were considered dangerous to society. Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A limited number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this progress, “career women” were largely restricted(受限制)teaching, nursing, and office work. The Women’s Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960’s, has focused on economic rights such as “equal pay for equal work”. In addition some groups have stressed psychological and social equality. The main purpose of Women’s Liberation is to free women from the restricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home—or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person were allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Women’s Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence,“all men are created equal” really means “all human beings are created equal”. 1.We know from this passage that _________ over one hundred seventy years ago. A.no women worked outside their homes B.women were considered as children by the law C.women cared nothing about how their family lives were D.women were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children. 2.The underlined word “assemble” in the second paragraph probably means A.to bring a group of people together in one place for a particular purpose B.to make a public or official statement, especially about a plan, decision C.to produce many copies of a book, magazine, or newspaper D.to not take part in an event or not buy or use something as a protest 3.Which of the following is true?

C.Women asked to change “all men are created equal” into “all human beings are created equal.” D.No states have ever provided women with jobs in the government. 4.What would be the best title for this passage? A. Women’s Lives in the United States B. Equal Pay for Equal Work C. Women’s Liberation in the United States D. Women, Their Past and Present |

When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
The way we affect people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(積極性). Today’s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know money is not the only most motivating factor in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of Emotional Intelligence — knowing your own emotions, and how to deal with them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
