People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor's office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor's treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication be- tween doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modem age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument for listening to patients' heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such thing as a me- dical examination.
The stethoscopewith all other medical instruments--has a serious effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors become better at finding the medical problems. More lives are saved. At the same time, doctors give less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stop talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines.

Although the women' s rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent develop- ment, its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were de- pendents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights of adults. A woman had no prop- erty rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, the"head of the family".
The first public protests(情愿) against the low position of women were made in the 1830s. In1848 the leaders of this movement( some of whom were for antislavery(反对奴隶制) activities as well) assembled the first Women's Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as,in the long, hard fight for women' s vote, those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted(侮辱) . They were said to be immoral( 违反伦理的 ), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society.
Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nine- teenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States. By the time man women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this progress, "career women" were largely restricted ( 受限制 )to teaching, nursing, and office work.
The Women's Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s,has focused on eco- nomic rights such as "equal pay for equal work". In addition some groups have stressed psycholo- gical and social equality. The main purpose of Women' s Liberation to free women from the re- stricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person was allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Women' s Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence, "all men are created equal" real- ly means "all human beings are created equal".

A. no women worked outside their homes
B. women were considered as children by the law
C. women cared nothing about how their family lives were
D. women were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children

A. to bring a group of people together in one place for a particular purpose
B. to make a public or official statement, especially about a plan, decision
C. to produce many copies of a book, magazine, or newspaper
D. not to take part in an e——ent or not to buy or use something as a protest
