It is the (1)(transition) period, during which we move from teenage toadolescence. We learn who we are and what we stand

11、 for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are (saddled) with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.

24、cessarily about less. It can be about more: more time, more enjoyment, more accomplishment, and more of what (profits) you.

30、are marching up the management ladder confidently and (diplomatically). Women used to be much more quiet and passive due to the relatively small number of female employees in (comparison) to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their (administrative) positions by using all their

31、 powers of intelligence.Men are hierarchical and (jealous) of the beauty power that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) (dispute) whether many professional females got into positions of power by using their appearance to theiradvantage, the (v

32、alid) fact is the majority of women have worked hard to achieve their desired success.Women were considered as (bystanders) in the workplace for many years and it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or secretaries, but todays women can not only hold their ow

33、n positions in the workplace, but they also have the dual task of raising their families.Unit8The animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, (1)(hence) being called animal liberation.

35、 as properties of human beings. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly (consent) to the opinion that animals should be viewed as non-humanmembers of the moral community and should be (omitted) from being food, clothing, entertainment, or research subjects. The idea of (7)(awarding) righ

36、ts to animals wins the support of severalprominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral (compass) and for that reason cannot be granted rights. Only humans have duties and, therefore, only humans have rights. There is nothing wrong or (evil) about using animals as resources so long as there is no unnecessary suffering. From within the animal rights movement itself, there has also been (criticism) of certain forms of animal rights activism, in particular the destruction of fur farms and animal laboratories.
