A trial has increased Americans interest in the problem of violence against women. O. J. S

impson has been accused of killing his former wife. Mrs. Simpson and a friend were stabbed to death outside her home in June, 1996. Reports say that Mrs. Simpson had called the police for help several times in the past few years. She reported that her husband had beaten her and she was afraid he would kill her. A jury was chosen, but it decided Mr. Simpson was not guilty. Domestic violence against women, especially wife beating, is a social problem in the U. S. Medical experts say wife beating is the most serious health threat to American women. The government says more young American women have been injured by men they know than by strangers, and more women are injured in this way than in accidents. Experts say violence against women takes place in almost every social, economic, racial and religious group. A federal crime study says that every year more than four million young American women are beaten severely. Most of the violence is done by their present or former husbands or by their boyfriends. In the past, many women were afraid to discuss the problem. They did not want anybody to know they were beaten by their husbands or boyfriends. Police usually refused to arrest a man who beat his wife, and the court did not take the issue seriously. Wife beaters were rarely sent to jail. Many women refused to take action against their husbands or boyfriends because they knew they would face even greater violence if they did. A serious movement against domestic violence began in the U. S. in the mid 1970s. Many activists were women who had been beaten. Since then great progress has been made. Activists have formed hundreds of local groups and set up many temporary homes for victims and their children. Progress has also been made in the justice system. Police and the courts now deal with the problem more seriously. In 26 states the police must now arrest wife beaters even if the victim does not cooperate. Questions:

Whats the main topic of this passage？

A．The situation and status of American women.

B．The domestic violence against women in the U. S.

C．The most serious health threat to American women.

D．The way to deal with wife beaters in the U. S.

Despite efforts to provide them with alternatives such as the shelter, women frequently an

d repeatedly returned to violent and abusive partners. By the late 1970s, feminists at Women Together, like those doing similar work throughout the United States, began to understand that battered women experience a range of post-traumatic psychological responses to abuse, similar to those of victims of other types of violence or trauma. Subsequently, the psychological response of battered women became reified as "battered woman syndrome," a sub-category of post-traumatic stress disorder. Interestingly, in the course of trying to create social change, the focus of feminists perceptibly shifted to trying to explain why battered women fail to leave the partners who beat them. In trying to address this question, a debate ensued among feminists and mental health workers as to potential merits and problems of categorizing as mental disorder what many feminists labeled a normal response to fear and an appropriately angry response to abuse. Although many women left abusive relationships or successfully ended violence by other means, some responded to ongoing or accelerated abuse by killing or trying to kill their male partners. In many states, when they went to trial, such women found they were restricted from introducing testimony about the abuse they had endured or their resulting states of mind. In trying to address these women's needs, some activists and scholars advocated the use of expert testimony to explain battered woman syndrome to juries. This strategy would introduce evidence of past abuse and challenge the gender biases of self-defense law by explaining the woman's state of mind at the time of the offense. Feminist legal scholars raised potential problems in the use of battered woman syndrome. They argued that it could be used against women who did not neatly fit pre-established criteria and had the potential to become another example of the tendency to label women's normal angry responses as mental illness. While the desirability of working to admit expert testimony was debated, individual state courts and legislatures varied in their willingness to recognize battered woman syndrome, permit evidence of past abuse, or allow expert testimony. As the legal debate about battered women's responses to violence was beginning to unfold, the Ohio movement became directly involved in it when a former shelter resident, shot and killed her abusive common law husband. In 1978 Women Together, in conjunction with the woman's lawyer, decided to challenge existing law by trying to introduce battered woman syndrome expert testimony at trial.

Because at the time the syndrome had little scientific merit or legal recognition, the trial court declared inadmissibility, a decision upheld by the State Supreme Court (State v. Thomas 1981 66 Ohio St. 2d 51).

Women Together founders left the shelter to establish professional careers, viewing this as a means of advancing the feminist agenda. The frustrations, limitations and defeats they had experienced as outside challengers impelled them to adopt a strategy of infiltration and appropriation of the institutions they sought to change. For example, one founder, who had worked through lobbying for ERA America in addition to her other feminist activism, explained her decision to run for elected office by saying: "[When ERA was defeated] I decided to run for the legislature. I said 'I can do better than these turkeys. '"

Battered woman syndrome is ______.

A．a psychological response.

B．a sub-category of a specific stress disorder.

C．similar to that experienced by a range of victims.

D．all of the above.

E．none of the abov

Want to Be 100？ Listen to These 5 Centenarians（百岁老人) Five neighbors at a central Misso

Want to Be 100？ Listen to These 5 Centenarians(百岁老人)

Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirement community who are all centenarians get asked all the time: "How did you live to be 100？"

If you want to live to 100 or more, this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity(长寿)is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while you're at it.

Even though an estimated 70, 000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age, it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one place.

The average life-span(寿命)of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birthday party. And most people don't want to cut out coffee, soda, alcohol, cigarettes, and eat healthy food.

"People tell me all the time, ‘I don't want to live to be 100, '"said Mildred Leaver, who turned 100 in June.

"I think that's just sad. Aging is attitude and I don't feel old, "said Leaver, a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.

It doesn't take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris, Grace Wolfson, Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas, have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits. All are 100 except Stuart, who is 101.

Even though their sight and hearing aren't what they used to be, they've all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with. It's been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time.

The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer, designer, school principal, bookkeeper and secretary. In the early years of their lives, gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-olds are today.

Currently about 70, 000 people are aged 100 or above in America.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned
