21、r mother.COn 8th March this year, events marking International Womens Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world. In most countries the events have a political tone: they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic, social and political equality with men, and to press
22、 for change in those areas of life where there is still progress to be made.In other countries, meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women: it is a day on which men give presents to their wives, girlfriends and mothers, and it therefore has some similarities
23、 with St Valentines Day and Mothers Day.Back in 1911, the first IWD events in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland were certainly political. They were protests by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world: almost nowhere were women all
24、owed to vote, and Finland was the only country with any female members of a national parliament. The general expectation worldwide, across different continents and cultures, was that women would spend their lives largely in the home, devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children.

In 2011, at least one country in every continent has a female leader, including high-profile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merk
29、el) and Australia (Julia Gillard).8. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. 100 years ago, women were not allowed to work outside.B. Pay inequality is a hot issue for IWD.C. Finland was the first country with female employment.D. IWD is equal to St Valentines Day and Mothers Day
