Passage Three
There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.
You can`t entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life.Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she`ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.
It`s no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man`s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.Maybe it is worth women`s while to stand in the bus or train.

Passage Four
“Family” is of course an elastic word.But when British people say that their society is based on family life,they are thinking of “family” in its narrow,peculiarly European sense of mother,father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus,every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.
For both the man and the woman,marriage means leaving one`s parents and starting one`s own life.The man`s first duty will then be to his wife,and the wife`s to her husband.He will be entirely responsible for her financial support,and she for the running of the new home.Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone.Neither the wife`s parents nor the husband`s,nor their brothers or sisters,aunts or uncles,have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen`s �Pride and Prejudice� will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl`s parents, that is,it was the parents` duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter,preferably a rich one,and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her.Until that time,the girl was protected and maintained in the parents` home,and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry.It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.
This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband,and she gets no dowry.
