That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country What he has predicted is already under way in the US One girl described to me a recent temporary job placing men in secretarial jobs in San Francisco, she noted that all the men she dealt with appeared to be gay so possibly that is just a new twist to the old story Over here, though, there are men coming onto the job market as secretaries Classically, girls have learned shorthand and typing and gone into a company to seek their fortune from the bottom - and that's what happened to John Bowman Although he joined a national grocery chain as secretary to its first woman senior manager, he has since been promoted to an administrative job "I filled in the application form and said I could audio/typing, and in fact I was the only applicant The girls were reluctant to work for this young, glamorous new woman with all this power in the firm I did typing at school, and then a commercial course I just thought it would be useful finding a job I never got any funny treatment from the girls, though I admit I've never met another male secretary But then I joined the Post Office as a clerk and fiddled with the typewriter, and wrote letters, and thought that after all secretaries were getting a good £ 1,000 a year more than clerks like me There were a shortage at that time, you see It was simpler working for a woman than for a man I found she made decisions, she told everybody what she thought, and there was none of that male bitchiness, or that stuff 'ring this number for me dear' which men go in for Don't forget we were a team - that's how I feel about it - not boss and servant but two people doing different things for the same purpose.” One high technology has made the job of secretary less routine, will there be a male takeover? Men should beware of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs There are a lot of women secretaries who will the job as well as them - not just because they can buy negligees for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they A were less efficient than men B wore stockings C were not as serious as men D would have disturbed the other office workers A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to A be her boss's memory B everything her boss asked her to C clean her boss's clothes D telephone her boss's wife A secretary in the future will A be better paid B have less work to C have higher status D have more work to He was given his first job as a secretary because A he had the best qualifications B he was lucky C he wanted to work for a woman D no one else applied He did a commercial course because he A couldn't think of anything else to B thought it would help him to find a job C had done typing at school D wanted to become a secretary When he was a post office clerk, secretaries were better paid because A not many were looking for jobs B they were better trained C they had greater responsibility D they worked longer hours He found that working for a female boss was less A boring B easy C complicated D frustrating The writer believes that before long A men and women will be secretaries B men will take over women's jobs as secretaries C men will better with machines D women will operate most office machines MID- 1ST TERM REVISION (GRADE 12) (old textbook) I PHONETICS: A Choose the words whose underlined part is pronounced differently from the rest A awareness B Africa C animal D action A action B picture C potential D information A football B scuba C canoe D pool A events B spirit C Asian D silver A catastrophe B trophy C recipe D notify B Pick out the word that has the stress pattern different from that of the others A involvement B employment C social D important A association B original C stability D accelerate A mosquito B gorilla C rhinoceros D leopard A different B holiday C reviewer D carefully A water B football C begin D meter II VOCABULARY Choose the best answer to fill in the gap Failure to win the championship will _in the dismissal of the coach A result B happen C affect D cause A child receives his early from their parents A educate B education C educator D educative ASEAN remains ready to further cooperate with _ United Nations in the ongoing humanitarian efforts for the victims of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar A a B an C the D Ø The raw sewage needs to be treated A chemically B chemical C chemist D chemistry People enjoy a book different ways A on B with C upon D in _ the start of each period, both teams line up on their own goal line A In B For C From D At nd In _ 22 SEA Games, Vietnam won 158 _ gold medals A Ø / the B the / Ø C a / the D the / the He tried to _to everyone to support him A make B appeal C persuade D advise Mrs Pike is a feminist, who that women should be offered the same job opportunities as men A varies B advocates C leads D votes 10 ASEAN also works for the _ of peace and stability in the region A promote B promotion C promotional D promoter 11 Conservation is the protection of the _ environment A nature B natural C naturally D naturalize 12 Johnny used to be one of the most _ athletes in my country A succeed B success C successful D successfully 13 The room once a day A should clean B should be cleaning C should be cleaned D should have cleaned 14 Water polo balls _ with a special texture so it will not slip from the hands of a player A cover B are covered C are being covered D covered 15 She ran in a marathon last week but _after ten kilometers A dropped out B closed down C broke up D made up 16 The efforts for the advancement of women have resulted several respectively achievement in women's life and work A at B with C for D in 17 _, I will give him the report A When he will return B When he returns C Until he will return D No sooner he returns 18 Tell her that she be here by six I insist on it A may B must C ought to D might 19 Theresa walked past me without saying a word She me A can't have seen B can't see C can't have been seen D can be seen 20 My neighbor is driving me mad!
