[听力原文]British women, in common with women in most Western countries, have been fighting for sexual equality with men for much of the last century. Their achievements have been considerable. First and foremost, discrimination against anyone on the grounds of their sex alone is illegal. For women, this means they are entitled to be given equal respect and status with men in all areas of life. Many British women expect to pursue careers for intellectual, financial and social reasons. They also expect equal pay with men for the same job. When they have family responsibilities, some women, depending on financial and other circumstances, choose not to work; others choose to take time off work while their children are young. In still other families, the father will give up work while the mother continues to pursue her career. In all of these cases, men and women are generally expected to share the domestic responsibilities at home with their partners. [难点解析]本文的一些句子比较长,是由几个单句组成的复合句,记录时单词数量和标点符号比较复杂。以下句为例:When they have family responsibilities,/some women,depending on financial and other circumstances,/choose not to work;/others choose to take time off work while their children are young.some和others两个句子之间一般用分号;主语和谓语之间如果有分词短语,分词短语前后都要用逗号。此外,这些标点符号的判断主要靠停顿时间的长短来决定。一般来说,逗号、分号和句号停顿时间的比例约为1/4:1/2:1。
