More Chances Should Be Offered to Women to Do Some High－level Jobs

　　Nowadays， with the rapid development of our society and economy， there have emerged many working opportunities． But there exists a problem that high－level jobs are mostly occupied by men even though some women are also competent． That disagrees with the equality of men and women．

　　When we talk about this phenomenon， first we must admit that there exist some differences between men and women． Then we should know that neither side could be regarded better or worse． For example， if you say men are often cairn and objective， but don＇t you see some men are more careless than women? Besides， if you think women are always hesitant and sensitive， then what would you say when they behave thoughtfully in work? Therefore there are not absolute advantages for men when considering their gender．

　　In another way， if you＇re a leader， what will be your criteria of selecting a candidate? Would you rather choose a guy just for he is a male and ignore another more competent lady? So whether or not a person has the ability for the job should be the first thing to consider．

　　However， this kind of prejudice has been existing for a long time． No matter men or women have been affected more or less， this idea has even made some women lose confidence in themselves． Therefore our whole society and especially our government should take efficient measure to encourage acertain percentage of jobs especially high level jobs to be reserved for women．

　　Through this way， we would hopefully see that more and more outstanding women can be working in their favourite jobs and can get their desirable position． And just by that our working field can be called a kind of equality of men and women．

　　[點評]

　　男女平等是人們討論了已久的話題。本文作者的觀點非常明確：應憑能力而選擇合適的人來做某些工作，尤其是高水平的工作，而不應憑性別來定，以做到男女平等。議論客觀、全面，只是篇幅過長。

　　應該為婦女提供更多更高水平工作的機會

　　如今，隨著社會和經濟的發展，出現了許多就業機會。但其中卻存在一個問題，那就是雖然有些女性能力也很好，但男性占據了絕大多數的高級職位。這是有背于男女平等的。

　　當我們談論這種現象時，首先我們必須承認男女之間確實存在某些差異，但我們應當明確男女雙方并沒有優劣之分。例如，如果你認為男性總是鎮定而客觀的，那你不覺得有些男人比女人還粗心大意嗎?此外，如果你認為女性總是猶豫而敏感的，那么當她們在工作中表現出大膽創新時你會說什么呢?因此，當考慮性別時，男人并沒有絕對的優勢。

　　從另一角度看，如果你是一位領導，你選擇競聘者的尺度是什么?愿選擇一位男性就僅僅因為他是男人而各忽略另一位更有能力的女上嗎?因此，這個人是否能勝任工作才是首要的條件。

　　然而這種偏見長期存在。無論男女都或多或少地受其影響，這種偏見甚至還會使有些女性對自己喪失信心。因此，我們的整個社會，尤其是我們的政府應該采取有效措施來鼓勵婦女占據一定比例的工作，特別是高級職位的工作。通過這種方式，我們將有希望看到越來越多的優秀女性能夠從事她們喜愛的工作，能得到她們期望的職位。只有這樣，我們的各項工作才能稱做是男女平等的。
