People like to say：“The hand that rocks(搖動)the cradle(搖籃)rules the world．”O(jiān)r theysay：“Behind every successful man，there is a woman．”

Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful．But some women want more for themselves．They want to be successful as men．

Today the best jobs are still given to men．Even when women do the same work，they are often paid less than men．Some women want these things changed．They want to stand beside the men，with the same chances for success．

Now many American women are earning money outside their homes．More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs．In general，working women have more education than those who stay at home．

Among women with jobs，eight out of ten drive a car to work，and most of them often spend their holidays away from home．They like traveling by air．Women’s work has made several changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives，too．

But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries．

In the Middle East countries，women have to stay at home．They look after their families and do all the housework．They can’t find work outside．When they go out in public．they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands．

For the past few years the women’s life has been changing in those countries．Many women want to play an active role in the society．Though working gives them few chances of getting married，many men still want to marry them in the old ways．

Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it’s very difficult.

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is in a colour of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.

How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all round Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.

Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use the chemicals (化學(xué)制品)in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines of shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from home and businesses and then carries them into the lake . They pollute the water and kill the animals.

Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats（汽船）. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.

People in Hartwell are worried . They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.

1.In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ________.

A．forests           B．rain              C．birds             D．fish

2.Chemicals from homes and businesses _________.

A．a(chǎn)re always clean                        B．can help the animals

3.Cleaner rainwater will mean _________ .

A．more boats on the lake                   B．more dirty things in the lake

C．a(chǎn) cleaner lake                          D．a(chǎn) dirty lake

4.To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ________.

A．be more careful about chemicals           B．use the water

C．grow fewer plants in the gardens            D．use more motorboats on the lake

5.The passage is about ________.

A．boats on the Lake Pankapog               B．why the water is dirty in Lake Ponkapog
