Yesterday some of my friends talked about women' s jobs. They have different opinions. Here are some of their ideas:
I don't think that there are any special jobs made for women. Women can fit into all kinds of jobs. We have even seen women drivers and engineers these days.
Eric
Nowadays men and women can do the same job, but I think that teaching suits women better than men. Women can be very good teachers.
Sidney
I think that boys and girls are not equal in the field of work. For example, women are thought to be a burden (负担) in India and it is difficult for them to find a job. This is really unfair
Mary
I also agree with Eric. At present there is no difference between girls and boys in the field of work, but some jobs are not suitable for girls. I believe that office and teaching jobs are perfect for girls.
Rose
It's true that girls can do all types of jobs, but some jobs such as teaching, HR management and nursing are really good for girls. However, as for politics, I think that girls should avoid this type of work.

A famous magician (魔术师) came to our city and gave some shows every day. Most of his shows had some educational messages. He taught lessons about health, history and some other important things about life through his magic tricks. Both parents and children enjoyed his magic shows, the children mainly for the fun and the parents mainly for the education.
My aunt went to our home and gave us two tickets for one of his shows last week. I watched the show with my mother last Wednesday. I had seen this magician's show on TV one year ago. But it was the first time I had seen alive (现场演出的) show, so I was very excited. The show taught children not to steal by describing how a person might feel when his or her thing was stolen. In the show, there was a monkey who liked eating bananas. He often stole things and never cared about the owners' feelings. Then one day he found his own things were stolen. He was worried and angry. From that experience, he realized how worried and angry others would be when their things were lost. From then on he decided to stop stealing.
The show was great. It made me understand why we shouldn't take what didn't belong to us. I also learned that we shouldn't get happiness from hurting others. I recommended(推荐) it to some of my friends. They watched the show last night. I thought that they could learn something from it while enjoying the wonderful magic.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his boat when it hit something and sank. He got into a life boat and was lost at sea. His supplies (供给) were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive. He was much thinner than he was when he started, but alive. His story of how he survived (生存)is fascinating. His cleverness—how he managed to catch fish, how he changed seawater into drinking water一is interesting.
But the thing that caught my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost. He was So hungry and tired. Giving up would have seemed the only choice. When people survive these kinds of situations, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in similar situations give up or go mad.
“I tell myself I can deal with it," wrote Callahan in his story. "Compared to what others have been through, I'm lucky. I tell myself these things over and over, building up my courage...”
It struck me as something important And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed far away. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my senses.
So whatever you're going through, tell yourself you can deal with it. Compared to what others have been through, you’re lucky. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through difficult situations with a little more courage.
( )13. Which of the following shows Steven's cleverness?

A. telling yourself you can deal with it B. the chances of surviving
C. the goals you have in your life D. the problem that Steven had to face
