         In the late 19th century, the women’s movement occurred in many developed countries. It is said to begin in Western societies and then quickly spread over the world. During the movement, women fought against inequality in education, employment, reproductive rights, etc.  Their uprising was the inevitable result of such a long period of being subdued. The victims of the temporarily old society were not only women from poor families but also from all the social classes not permitted to express their own ideas. To these people, life seemed to last endlessly without freedom and joyfulness. Therefore, their reaction was considered as the revolution in recognizing their contributions and narrowing the huge gender gap between males and females. The victory of the feminist movement gave birth for the new era of independence, liberty, and happiness for all women globally. Since then, women have legally gone to school, chosen their career, and been admitted to most social institutions and organizations, which had been considered extremely luxurious things for them. Although gender inequality has been substantially reduced over the past decades, there are still a few places where women do not have their entitlement, young girl children are completely illiterate and mature ones cannot work and receive payment as equally as men. How to help them to be released from the culturally regional oppression is a very tricky situation. However, it is believed that this issue is going to be resolved soon. 

Question 24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The violent war happened in the late 19th century to gain independence. 

B. Women are maltreated int the world.  

C. Women life has changed since their feminist movement.                   

D. Women were the victims of violent behaviour.

Question25.What does the word "inequality" in the passage refer to?

A. The state of being different                               

B. The lack of fairness and equal rights

C. The increase in opportunities                            

D. The ability to make choices freely

Question 26.  Who were often repressed when expressing their own perspective?

A. Women from the lower, middle, and upper social status.                         

B. Women from poor rural families.

C.Women working in social groups.         

D. Women in Western countries only.

Question 27: In the past, working for social groups or organizations was _______.

A.an honour for those having luxurious life

The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in simple terms. Slowly, there is a growing number of professional women and professional women’s associations. More women continue to work after getting married and having children. However, many companies have separate programmes for women, usually non-career development, and follow practices that would be considered discriminatory in other societies. For a typical couple, the female spouse is still generally expected to do all of the cleaning, cooking, and other chores, whether she is working or not. Single women are said to be enjoying their lives, spending much money on travel abroad and shopping. Housewives are active in networking themselves for various objectives, for example volunteer activities, community services, recycling activities, study groups, and many others. The traditional Japanese value of “good wife, good mother” is changing.

Unlike other countries where a couple is the usual social unit, in Japan it is typical for only the husband to be invited to business gatherings or to weddings for company employees. Exceptions are frequently made for foreign visitors depending on the occasion, but wives should not take their exclusion as a personal insult.

Despite these cultural norms, gender roles in Japan are gradually evolving. Younger generations are increasingly advocating for workplace equality, fair treatment, and better opportunities for women in leadership positions. With changing attitudes and policies, Japan is slowly moving toward a more balanced and inclusive society where women can have greater independence and career success.
