Read the passage and choose the best answers. When China was in her old-social-system period, the standard to value a housewife quite strange. In people’s mind, a women who didn’t often step out of home would be considered a loyal wife. So, we could hardly see women, especially housewives, who gathered together, talking and laughing in the street. An old saying shows it very clearly. The general idea is in that period women could just hear the voice of their neighbors but never met them even through their lives. This is an extremely example, indeed, but it gives us a general image of women’s position in the society. People wrongly defined women as babysitters, housekeepers or sometimes even waiters for the husbands. However, if let’s put an eye on the history of Japan, we can also find that women’s position is not very high in the society. Although working at home or not is not the standard to scale the position of women in a society, we can know one side of people’s thinking on women’s job. Maybe Korean women also do the same after they were married. As most of Japanese women, they give up their jobs and stay at home, taking care of children, doing housework. Except going shopping or visiting friends, they spend most of the time at home. Because of the influence of the history, some women also keep such a concept that it is all their responsibility to take care of the family. The time is walking forward; the old society has gone forever. In a new time, women are not only working at home as a house keeper, but working in every part of the society, doing the same as men and give large contributions to the society. Women have their jobs; women cover the half of the sky; their roles in the society is changing. Men and women are equal now. 33. CHINESE women in the old-social-system period were loyal wives when .
