[00:09.20]Jane and Zhou Lan are talking about the jobs that men and women do in Britain².
[00:15.96]What jobs do women do in Britain?
[00:19.91]All kinds of jobs.
[00:23.38]There are women police³ officers,women doctors,teachers,engineers⁵,farmers and so on.
[00:31.43]Are there any jobs which women don't do?
[00:35.89]I don't think there are.But there are more men than women scientists⁶.
[00:41.95]And more men than women are heads of companies⁷.
[00:46.32]It seems⁸ that it's more difficult for women to get to the top of a company⁹.
[00:52.27]That's right.It's hard for them.
[00:56.22]That's not fair¹⁰.I'm sure there's nothing that a woman can't do.
[01:02.09]You're right.And there are some jobs that men can't do very well.Really?Which ones?
[01:10.03]Companies that make telephones and computers and so on prefer¹¹ to employ¹² women.
[01:16.70]I guess men's hands and fingers are too big!
[01:21.14]They can't pick¹³ up the small pieces with their fingers.
[01:25.39]I can believe¹⁴ that.
[01:28.56]Lesson 74   Reading¹⁶
[01:37.91]Read the passage¹⁷ to find the answers to these questions:
[01:43.55]1.How did¹⁹ Mr King¹ get his job?
[01:48.51]2.How was²⁰ Mr King's secret²¹ discovered²²?
[01:54.16]THE SECRET IS OUT!(1)
[02:00.01]Many years ago,one of the best engineers in the Notco Company in Australia was Mr King.
[02:07.74]He had²³ only worked there for five months,
[02:12.70]but already²⁴ he was one of the best workers in the team.
[02:18.03]His job was to design²⁵ new machines²⁶.
[02:22.99]One day,Mr King had an accident²⁷.
[02:27.96]A worker drove²⁸ a small handtruck so carelessly²⁹ that it hit the back of Mr King's legs.
[02:35.51]Mr King,whose legs were badly³⁰ hurt,was quickly taken to hospital.
[02:42.77]There a doctor asked him to remove³¹ his trousers so that he could³² examine³³ his legs.
[02:50.71]To everyone's surprise,Mr King refused.
[02:56.38]Nobody could understand what the problem³⁴ was.
[03:00.92]Finally³⁵,the doctor said³⁶ to Mr King gently,"Please tell me what the problem is.
[03:08.97]Unless you tell me,I shall³⁷ not be able³⁸ to help you."
[03:14.01]Mr King looked carefully³⁹ at the doctor.
[03:19.05]"Please don't tell anyone⁴⁰ else.
[03:22.81]If anyone at work discovers⁴¹ my secret,I shall lose⁴² my job.
[03:28.77]I'm not Mr King.I'm Ms King!I'm a woman!
[03:35.64]But I had to lie¹⁵ to the company and pretend⁴³ to be a man in order⁴⁴ to get a job."
[03:42.77]In fact,Mr King's secret was discovered the same evening.
[03:49.41]The boss⁴⁵ in whose department⁴⁶ Mr King worked had heard about the accident.
[03:55.86]He called at the hospital after work to find out whether⁴⁸ Mr King was better.
[04:03.80]To his surprise,the person⁴⁹ at the front desk told him
[04:10.07]that his best worker had been put in Women's Room 31.
[04:15.71]Ms King had to tell her story to her boss Mr Pattis.
[04:22.06]"For months I tried to get a good job as¹⁸ an engineer⁴,
[04:26.79]but it was impossible⁵⁰ to get a job as a woman.
[04:31.54]So I cut my hair short,bought some men's clothes,
[04:37.19]used a man's name and finally got⁵¹ a job in your company.
[04:42.44]Please let me stay in the company;I enjoy working there."
[04:48.00]Lesson 75  1.Reading
[05:00.07]THE SECRET IS OUT!(2)
[05:04.14]The next day a meeting⁵² was held to discuss⁵³ the problem of Ms King.
[05:11.22]The boss of the company,whose name was Mr Little,
[05:16.79]told the story about Ms King and then said:
[05:21.23]"We shall have to make a decision⁵⁴ about Ms King,whose story I have just told you.
[05:27.78]It seems that she told a lie in order to get a job with our company.
[05:33.95]I think that this is a very serious⁵⁵ matter.
[05:38.91]I shall have to ask her to leave the company."
[05:43.07]For a moment or two everyone was quiet.
[05:48.34]Then Mr Pattis,in whose department Ms King worked,said,"I don't agree⁵⁶ with your decision.
[05:57.09]Does it matter if an engineer is a man or a woman?
[06:02.27]She is the best engineer in my office.
[06:07.52]I think that our company should offer⁵⁷ jobs to people for one reason⁵⁸ only:
[06:13.55]because he or she can do the job better than anyone else

[06:19.48]She lied to us because she had to in order to get a job.
[06:25.25]I guess she also showed that she was very interested⁵⁹ in working for our company.
[06:32.80]I would⁶⁰ like her to stay in the company."
[06:37.17]Mr Little said:"But we have never had women working in this part⁴⁷ of company before."
[06:45.03]Mr Pattis replied⁶¹ with a laugh:"That's because we never thought⁶² of it!"
