This important change in women' s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.

The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Every four years,a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport.
As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports.For the winners,there are gold medals and glory.But there is honor,t00,for all who compete,win or lose.That is the spirit of the Olympics--to take part is what matters.
The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was in Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are being held——the host country--marches in last.
The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sports-man from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.
The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The mle is that there must be at least fifteen:The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport--riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country runnin9.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.
More and more women are taking part in the games.They first competed in l900,in tennis and golf,which are no longer held in the Olympics.Women’s sw!mming events were in-troduced in 1912,but it was not until l928 that there were any track and field events for women.Now.they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports.In horse ridin9,shooting,and boat racing,they may compete in the same events as the men.

B.Because losers need encouragement,too.
C.Because losers and winners should be equally treated.
D.Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.
NASA's Darrel Williams speaks about the Landsat 7 Project. He said that an eruption caused trees to burn up in a large forest. Fifteen years later, pinkish images from space show that the trees and plant life are growing again. Williams says that clear-cut areas easily show up in the pictures. He wants Americans to look at how much land is being cleared of forests in our country.
Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth. In the past ten years, more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska. Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska.
Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina. Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the ocean according to satellite images. Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta, Georgia.
The Landsat 7 images are like pictures in a photo album. Instead of pictures of the family, the album shows changes around the globe in the past 25 years.
A new satellite, Terra, is going to be launched by NASA soon. It will be more advanced that Landsat 7 and will take important global pictures. Ocean temperatures and energy loss will be provided by Terra daily.
