9、y women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but we get less paid.

Perso

13、nally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

14、 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

24、d move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, Lopes said.
