　　Sociologists (社會學家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany.

　　“Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still a man's world”, said Dr James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.

　　Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children can not be taken good care of. If women take full time jobs (全職工作), they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.

　　Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the rights of equal pay and equal opportunities.

　　Anne Harper has a very good job. she also believe in “Women's Liberation”. “I don't wish I were man.” she says, “and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less.

Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers n hospitals, orphanages(孤兒院) or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses or do their shopping. For boys who no longer have fathers the, re is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

　 An Englishman named PhilShaw invented extreme ironing in 1997 because he was bored doing ironing at home.

　 Extreme ironing is a special kind of outdoor sport. It combines (使結合) danger and excitement with practical ironing.

　 Who does extreme ironing? People all over the world who like danger do it. There are about l,000 people around the world who do extreme ironing. There are extreme ironing clubs and groups in Britain, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. You don't have to have any special qualifications (資格證明)to do it. In fact, anyone can do it. However, it is better to start ironing in your back yard before you start to iron on top of a mountain.

　 There are, of course, some rules in extreme ironing. The ironing must be outdoor. You must take an iron, an ironing board, and something that you actually iron to get the wrinkles out. Outdoors includes faraway and unusual places, such as on top of a mountain, while skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, or under water. There are no limits. The more unusual the better. However, you should plan carefully because weather conditions can suddenly change on mountains, for example. You should not do extreme ironing on your own.

　 What kind of things should you have? You must have a real iron. Travel irons are acceptable. You must not use plastic or toy irons. The clothes you iron must be at least the size of a hand towel. It shouldn't be just a handkerchief. The board doesn't have to be fullsize board, but that is preferred. It must be one metre long and thirty centimeters wide and have legs. You must also have proof of ironing that is either a photo or a video, and it should show a recognizable landmark. Be aware that people have already ironed near the top of Everest, the highest mountain in the world, and in the Blue Hole in Egypt, one of the most dangerous places to dive. However, there are still many records to break. Iron on!
