Men and women are still treated unequally in the workplace. Women continue to earn less, on average, for the same performance. Research has shown that both conscious(有意识的) and subconscious biases (偏见) contribute to this problem. But we’ve discovered another source of inequality: Women often don’t get what they want and deserve because they don’t ask for it. In three separate studies, we found that men are more likely than women to negotiate for what they want.

The first study found that the starting salaries of male MBAs who had recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon were 7.6%, or almost $4,000, higher on average than those of female MBAs from the same program. That’s because most of the women had simply accepted the employer’s salary offer; in fact, only 7% had attempted to negotiate. But 57% of their male counterparts--or eight times as many men as women—had asked for more.

Another study tested this gender difference in the lab. Subjects were told that they would be observed playing a word game and that they would be paid between $3 and $10 for playing. After each subject completed the task, an experimenter thanked the participant and said, “Here’s $3. Is $3 OK?” For the men, it was not OK, and they said so. Their requests for more money are nine times as many as the women’s.

The largest of the three studies surveyed several hundred people over the Internet, asking them about the most recent negotiations they’d attempted or started and when they expected to negotiate next. The study showed that men place themselves in negotiation situations much more often than women do.

There are several reasons accounting for the phenomenon. First, women often are taught from an early age not to promote their own interests and to focus instead on the needs of others. The messages girls receive—from parents, teachers, other children, the media, and society in general—can be so powerful that when they grow up they may not realize that they’ve made this behavior part of them, or they may realize it but not understand how it affects their willingness to negotiate. Women tend to think that they will be recognized and rewarded for working hard and doing a good job. Unlike men, they haven’t been taught that they can ask for more.

1.According to this passage, what causes the inequality in the workplace?

A. social bias

B. women’s poorer working ability

C. women’s worse academic background

D. women’s less negotiating

2.Which can be the result of the following survey, according to Para 4?

4.What will be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. The suggestions given to women.

B. The warnings to men.

C. Another reason for women’s not asking.

D. Another reason for men’s asking.

Indians are the world’s biggest bookworms, reading on average 10.7 hours a week, twice as long as Americans, according to a new survey.

The NOP World Culture Score Index surveyed 30,000 people in 30 countries from December 2004 to February 2005.

Analysts said self-help and desirable reading could explain India’s high figures.

Time spent on reading meant fewer hours watching TV and listening to the radio—India came fourth last in both.

The NOP survey of 30,000 consumers aged over 13 saw China and the Philippines take second and third place respectively in average hours a week spent reading books, newspapers and magazines.

Britons and Americans scored about half the Indians’ hours and Japanese and Koreans were even lower—at 4.1 and 3.1 hours respectively.

R. Sriram, chief executive officer of Crosswords Bookstores, a chain of 26 bookshops around India, says Indians are extremely entrepreneurial (有开创精神的) and reading “is a fundamental part of their being”.

“They place a great deal of emphasis on reading. That’s the reason why they do well in education at home and in universities abroad,” he said.

“People educate themselves and deal with change throughout their lives. And the way to do that is to update themselves with books.”

Mr. Sriram says social changes have also made a difference: “Earlier people could turn to their parents and grandparents for advice．Now they turn to books.”

1. According to the time spent on reading, which of the following answers is right?

A. Indians>Americans>Chinese>Koreans

B. Americans>Chinese>Philippines>Japanese

C. Chinese>Indians>Americans>Philippines

D. Indians>Chinese>Philippines>Americans

2. The sentence “India came fourth last in both.” in paragraph four means_____.

A. Indians have no time to watch TV and listen to the radio

B. Indians are busy with their work every day

C. Indians spent more time on reading so that they have fewer hours watching TV and listening to the radio

D. People in other countries spent more time watching TV and listening to the radio

3. The time that Chinese spent on reading may be______ a week.

A. 5.35 hours                               B. less than 10.7 hours but more than 5.35 hours

C. more than 10.7 hours           D. 10.7 hours
