There was a time when, if a lady got into a bus or train a gentleman would immediately stand
up and offer his __26__ . But now, things are different. Today a gentleman would probably look
out of the __27__ , or if he feels a bit shy, __28__ behind his newspaper. Either way the lady
will have to stand until someone else __29__ .

up asking for equality(平等) with men; not just in jobs or education, __33__ in social life.
Hold a door __34__ for some women and you are __35__ to get an angry lecture on treating women
as __36__ , unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for __37__ , and she will
probably insist on paying her __38__ of the bill. On the second thoughts, that is perhaps not a
bad __39__ .
It is no wonder, then that men have __40__ some ways of politeness and consideration(考虑, 体
贴) which they used to __41__ towards women. On the other hand, the man’s active politeness is
perhaps slowly replaced(代替) by true consideration for the needs __42__ feelings of women,

Maybe it is worth women‘s while to __45__ in the bus or train.
