waltzes.Whatever we don't strictly have to do,from food to fashion to furniture,becomes part of our individual cultures. Culture often results from a problem-solving activity.When the Indian peasant woman prepares her food,the dried dung of cows serves fuel.It is an easily available fuel source in a country lacking forests or coal and oil.Such fuels would,in any case,be too expensive. And because dried cow dung burns slowly and evenly at a low temperature,the woman can leave the cooking fire unattended and go to work in the field while the evening meal slowly simmers. In China,where coal has been the main cooking fuel for centuries,a different cooking has emerged.Coal produces extremely high heat for a short period of time.Dishes cooked using coal ideally feature foods cut into small pieces and quickly stir-fried.Food cultures have emerged not just from the ingredients available locally,but also the tools and methods available to prepare them.

It is only in the last 100 years that there has been a shift for women's roles.People have stopped to consider and question these roles,thinking that they might change.Nowadays, women could take larger roles in government and participate more in higher education, getting the degrees necessary for the highest paying jobs.As women professors,women administrators,women business people and women government officials became more common,they in turn became role models for younger women who began to see life beyond making meals and caring for babies. Each of us has a woman as a mother.As a society,we should give women the respect and opportunities they deserve. 762

Part IV Short Answer Qu届tions 31-35 are ba隔don P: 萨5. 5 Since the earliest time , in most parts of the world , men and women have had the same roles in society. The norm worldwide has been mostly toward patriarchal societies, that is, societies ruled by men in which men are the main decision makers in both the family and in society as a whole. In patriarchal societies, men take the best jobs, and control the money, are treated with the greatest respect, and have the greatest chance to education. However , there have been exceptions. In China , women of the traditional Hui minority hold power in the family and the community. In Bali , Indonesia , women are treated with far greater respect than in other traditional societies in Asia because of their importance in certain religious duties. But these are only exceptions. Generally women were under the domination of men over history. A woman is treated as simple possession and is the responsibility of her father or male relatives. She can not vote and can not make any decision of importance , including who to marry. Even in some so-called modern countries such as England and the United States, the similar things were quite common at the beginning of the twentieth century. A woman who married and any fortune she might have fall into the hands of her husband. A woman could not vote and had little chance of attending university or getting any job of importance that might be held by a man. It is only in the last 100 years that there has been a shift for women's roles. People have stopped to consider and question these roles, thinking that they might change. Nowadays, women could take larger roles in government and participate more in higher education , getting the degrees necessary for the highest paying jobs. As women professors, women administrators, women business people and women government officials became more common, they in turn became role models for younger women who began to see life beyond making meals and caring for babies. Each of us has a woman as a mother. As a society, we should give women the respect and opportunities they deserve. 762
