Trang 4/7 I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the website When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the script on this page’ This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website by using programming techniques based on a scripting language This means that unless they really know what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming This is where people like me come in Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward, but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems It’s generally worth getting a professional to help you set up your site in the first place - otherwise people like me would be out of work And let’s face it, this is big business What does Paul Howells enjoy most about his job? A Dealing with different people C His worldwide contacts B The range of topics D Teaching design skills What does Paul mean by ‘a must-see destination’ in paragraph 2?

G (1.0 point) Two "jobs" that women essentially Question about dating The first year, when women are more likely to have bachelor's a degree The source of conformation to domestic lifestyle Pros of extended paternity (A) There’s no denying that women around the world have made great strides toward equality in the past century One hundred years ago, women in the United States still didn’t have the right to vote, and very few were allowed to pursue higher education or a meaningful career outside of their household duties Fast forward to today, and more than 70 percent of women between the ages of 20 and 54 are active Trang 5/7 members of the national workforce On top of this, 2015 marked the first year when women were, on average, more likely to have a bachelor’s degree than men, and this trend is on the rise (B) But despite all this newfound opportunity, the prevailing societal attitudes about what women are historically supposed to value still have a long way to go That’s why we’ve partnered with SK-II to learn more about all of the ways women are still pressured to stick to outdated gender norms “Women have won unprecedented rights thanks to the feminist movement, but as a society, we still expect women to prioritize family over career, or even over their own needs,” says Silvia Dutchevici, president and founder of the Critical Therapy Center in New York City Dutchevici says many women feel pressure to “have it all,” meaning both a thriving career and the perfect family, but that can be very difficult to achieve (C) “Most women try to balance work and family,” Dutchevici says, “but that balance is seldom equal.” In fact, she says working mothers ― even those with partners ― often find themselves essentially working two full-time jobs: keeping their career together while doing the brunt of housework, cooking and child-rearing This happens for a variety of reasons, but societal expectations about the roles of women and men at home are still very much to blame, says Tamra Lashchyk, a Wall Street executive, business coach and author of the book “Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide to Women on Wall Street.” (D) “No matter how successful she is, the burden of running a household still falls on the woman’s shoulders,” Lashchyk says “Men get more of a pass when it comes to these duties, especially those that involve children.” Lashchyk says much of this pressure on women to conform to a more domestic lifestyle comes from friends and family (E) “In many people’s minds, a woman’s career success pales in comparison to having a family,” she says “Especially if the woman is single, no matter how great her professional achievements, almost every single one of her conversations with her family will include questions about her romantic life or lack thereof I could literally tell my family I’d cured cancer and the conversation would still end with, ‘But are you dating anyone?’” While covert societal expectations might contribute to some of this inequality, workplace policies on maternity and paternity leave can hold a lot of the blame (F) “Unfortunately, many workplace policies regarding taking time off to care for family not the changing times,” Dutchevici says “Both men and women suffer in their careers when they prioritize family, but women carry far harsher punishments Their choice to take time off and start a family can result in lower pay, and fewer promotions in the future The right to family leave is not a woman’s issue, it is a society’s issue, a family’s issue.” Lashchyk agrees with this sentiment “There should be more flexibility and benefits [in the workplace], like longer periods of time for paternity leave……If paternity leave was extended, men could share a greater responsibility in child care, and they could Part 4: Fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word to complete the passage below Write it on your answer sheet (2.0 points) When an animal species is (1) _ endangered, it means that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluated it as nearly (2) _, which means that a significant portion of its range has already died (3) _ and the rate of birth is lower than the species' death rate Today, more and more animal and plant species are on the verge of extinction because of a (4) _ of major factors that cause a species to become endangered, and as you might expect, humans play a role in quite a few of them -
