Women make up 50 percent of world’s population and yet they are not treated equally. They hold less than one-fifth of the all parliamentary (議會) seats around the world， occupy less than 19 percent of board (董事會) seats in Fortune 500 companies and earn 17 percent less than men for similar skills and positions. As a group， they are passed over and looked down on.

On March 8 every year， millions of women around the world celebrate International Women’s Day. It is possible that you may not have heard about the International Women’s Day in the United States. Yet Women's Day had its origin in the United States.

Women’s Day was first celebrated in February 1909 in the US to mark the one-year anniversary of the New York Garment Worker’s Strike of 1908. Women used the chance to fight against warring and fight for women’s vote rights.

Did you know that it was a Women’s Day protest in St. Petersburg in 1917， which led to the revolution (革命) for bringing down the Russian empire? After the Russian revolution， Women’s Day came to be celebrated as a communist (共產(chǎn)主義的) or socialist (社會主義的) holiday. As a result， the United States government didn’t accept it as a holiday.

Today Women’s Day is celebrated in places such as China and Russia as a sort of state-approved Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. The tradition in these countries is to give flowers and gifts to the important women in one's life.

In 1975， the United Nations officially announced March 8 as International Women’s Day. Since then， it has been a practice to suggest an annual theme for each year. The theme for 2016 is "Pledge For Parity." It calls on women and men to challenge the present state and inspire positive change in their communities and workplaces.

There is a lot that needs to be done. As a society， we need to offer women and girls chances to make their dreams come true， have equal chances for leadership， respect and value differences， and develop a better work environment. This day challenges and reminds that everyone can be a leader in their own small way and can take positive steps to bring about gender equality.

Our world can truly be balanced when we use the potential that women have to offer. As we prepare children for the future， it is important that girls and women not be left behind.

On Saturday Patrick woke up with a little shock， knowing that this was a special day. For a moment he couldn’t think exactly why， and then， with an excited flutter of his stomach， he remembered. At ten o’clock today he was going to find out the final result of the programme called Super Brain. He got dressed more carefully than usual， went downstairs and turned on the TV. Quickly he switched channels. Cartoons， cartoons， advertisements， man talking， snow， snow… and still nothing at all on Channel 8.

“Patrick， turn it off， darling， if you’re going to watch.” Judith walked past with the newspaper under her arm and her eyes half closed. She headed for the kitchen. Patrick turned off the TV and followed.

“What’s for breakfast， Mum?”

“We will see，” Judith said in a low voice， turning on the electric kettle (水壺). She looked sleepily at him and smiled. “You look nice， darling，” She said. “You’re all ready. But we can’t go till eight-thirty at the earliest， you know. Nothing will be open till then.”

Patrick’s stomach seemed to feel a little sick. “We aren’t going out， are we?” He asked. Judith began to make the tea. “Don’t say you’ve forgotten!” she said， “I promised you， last Saturday. Your new trainers， remember?”

“Oh—oh， but I can’t go out this morning， Mum. There’s something I’ve got to watch on TV. At ten o’clock. I’ve got to! My trainers will be all right for another week.” Patrick said with excitement， looking quite worried.

There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps his word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts.” said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”

In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate nonsweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

1.The underlined word “it” refers to(指代) ______.

A．the sweet food B．the eating habit

C．the American team D．the English saying

2.According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people ______.

A．overweight B．excited C．relaxed D．friendly

3.The scientists found that the people who preferred _____ were less helpful.

A．ice-cream B．chocolate C．chips D．cookies

4.It can be learnt from the passage that _____.

A．scientists asked college students questions about their future

B．scientists told college students not to eat sweet food

C．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others

D．people’s character has nothing to do with their taste.
