20、hension. (90 points) Read carefully the following article and complete tasks in Section A, B, and C. Id Rather be Black than Female Being the first black woman elected to Congress has made me some kind of phenomenon. There are nine other blacks in the Congress, and ten other women. I was the first t
21、o overcome both handicaps at once. Of the two handicaps, being black is much less of a drawback than being female. If I said that being black is a greater handicap than being a woman, probably no one would question me. Why? Because “we all know” there is prejudice against black people in America. Th
22、at there is prejudice against women is an idea that still strikes nearly all men - and, Im afraid, most women - as bizarre. Prejudice against blacks was invisible to most white Americans for many years. When blacks finally started to “mention” it, with sit-ins, boycotts, and freedom rides, Americans
23、 were incredulous. “Who, us?” they asked in injured tones. “Were prejudice?” It was the start of a long, painful reeducation for white America. It will take years for whites - including those who think of themselves as liberals - to discover and eliminate the racist attitudes they all actually have.
24、 How much harder will it be to eliminate the prejudice against women? Im sure it will be a longer struggle. Part of the problem is that women in America are much more brainwashed and content with their roles as second-class citizens than blacks were. Let me explain. I have been active in politics fo
25、r more than 20 years. For all but the last six, I have done the work - all the tedious details that make the difference between victory and defeat on election day - while men reaped the rewards, which is almost invariably the lot of women in politics. It is still women - about three million voluntee
26、rs - who do most of this work in the American political world. The best any of them can hope for is the honor of being district or county vice-chairman, a kind of separate-but-equal position with which a woman is rewarded for years of faithful envelope stuffing and card-party organizing. In such a j
27、ob, she gets a number of free trips to state and sometimes national meetings and conventions, where her role is supposed to be vote the way her male chairman votes. When I tried to break out of that role in 1963 and run for the New York State Assembly seat from Brooklyn, the resistance was bitter. F
28、rom the start of that campaign, I faced undisguised hostility because of my sex. But it was four years later, when I ran for Congress, that the question of my sex became a major issue. Among members of my own party, closed meetings were held to discuss ways of stopping me. My opponent, the famous ci
29、vil-rights leader James Farmer, tried to project a black, masculine image; he toured the neighborhood with sound trucks filled with young men wearing Afro haircuts, dashikis, and beards. While the television crews ignored me, they were not aware of a very important statistic, which both I and my cam
30、paign manager knew. In my district there are 2.5 women for every man registered to vote. And those women are organized - in PTAs (Parent-teacher- Association), church societies, card clubs, and other social and service groups. I went to them and asked their help. James Farmer still doesnt quite know
31、 why he lost the campaign. When a bright young woman graduate starts looking for a job, why is the first question always: “Can you type?” A history of prejudice lies behind that question. Why are women thought of as secretaries, not as administrators? Librarians and teachers, but not doctors and law
32、yers? Because they are thought of as different and inferior. The happy homemaker and the contented black are both stereotypes produced by prejudice. Women have not reached the level of symbolism that blacks are reaching. No women sit on the Supreme Court. Only two women hold Cabinet rank, and none d
33、o at present. Only two women hold ambassadorial rank. But women predominate in the lower-paying, menial, unrewarding, dead-end jobs, and when they do reach better positions, they are invariably paid less than a man gets for the same job. If that is not prejudice, what would you call it? A few years
34、ago, I was talking with a political leader about a promising young woman as a candidate. “Why invest time and effort to build the girl up?” he asked me. “You know shell drop out of the game to have a couple of kids just about the time were ready to run her for mayor.” Plenty of people have said simi
35、lar things about me. Plenty of others advised me, every time I tried to take another upward step, that I should go back teaching, a womans vocation, and leave politics to the man. I love teaching, and Im ready to go back to it as soon as Im convinced that this country no longer needs a womans contri
36、bution. When there are no children going to bed hungry in this rich nation, I may be ready to go back to teaching. When there is a good school for every child, I may be ready. When we do not spend our wealth on weapons to murder people, when we no longer tolerate prejudice against minorities, and wh
37、en the laws against unfair housing and unfair employment practices are enforced instead of evaded, then there may be nothing more for me to do in politics. But until that happens - and we all know it will not be this year or next - what we need is more women in politics, because we have a very speci
38、al contribution to make. I hope that the example of my success will convince other women to get into politics - and not just to stuff envelopes, but to run for office. It is women who can bring empathy, tolerance, insight, patience, and persistence to government - the qualities we naturally have or
39、have had to develop because of our suppression by men. The women of a nation mold its morals, it religion, and its politics by the lives they live. At present, our country needs womens idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.Section ADecide whether the following state
