It began as a small village beside the River Wensum. At the time of the Norman invasion
9、in 1066 it had grown to become one of the largest towns in England. With two cathedrals and a mosque(清真寺 ), Norwich has long been a popular centre for various religions. The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while Norwich itself had a year of celebr
10、ation in 1994 to mark the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter. This allowed it to be called a city and to govern it-self independently. Today, in comparison with places like London or Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a population of around 150,000, but in the 16th century
11、 Norwich was the second largest city of England. It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer, becoming famous for having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as their are days in the year. Nowadays, there are far fewer churches and pubs, but in 1
12、964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich. With its fast-growing student population and its success as a modern commercial centre (Norwich is the biggest centre for insurance services outside London), the city now has a side choice of entertainment: theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy c
13、afes, exeellent restaurants, and a number of arts and leisure centres. There is also a football team, whose colours are green and yellow. The team is known as “The Canaries (金丝雀 )“,though nobody can be sure why. Now the citys attractions include another important development, a modern shopping centr
14、e called “The Castle Mall“. The people of Norwich lived with a very large hold in the middle of their city for over two years, as builders dug up the main car park. Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the mall could become a city centre park, with attractive water pools
15、and hundreds of trees, but the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains, right in the heart of the city and next to the new development.

19、ocial, and economic equality for women in a society that traditionally gives more power and freedom to men. Among these rights are control of property, equality of opportunity in education and employment, right of voting, and freedom of marriage. Today, complete political, economic, and social equal
20、ity with men re-mains to be achieved. 2 Male control was obvious from the time of the earliest written historical records, probably as a result of mens role in hunting and warfare. The belief that women were naturally weaker and inferior to men was also found in god-centered religions. Therefore, in
21、 most traditional societies, women generally were at a disadvantage. Their education was limited to learning domestic skills, and they had no access to positions of power. A woman had no legal control over her person, her own land and money, or her children. 3 The Age of Enlightenment and the Indust
22、rial Revolution, which caused economic and social progress, provided a favorable climate for the rise of womens rights movement in the late 18th and 19th century. In 1848 more than 100 persons held the first womens rights convention in New York, and the feminists demanded equal rights, including the
23、 vote. 4 In the late 1960s women made up about 40 percent of the work force in England, France, Germany, and the United States. This figure rose to more than 50 percent by the mid-1981s. A commission under the President was established in 1960 to consider equal opportunities for women. Acts of Congr
24、ess entitled them to equality in education, employment, and legal rights. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act, initially-intended only for blacks was extended to women. 5 The obiectives of the womens movement included equal pay for equal work, federal sup-port for day-care centers, recognition of lesbian(女
25、性同性恋 ) rights, making abortion legal, and the focus of serious attention on the problems of forced sex relations, wife and child beating, and discrimination against older and minority women.

28、n world who will be glad that Christmas is over, that group is shop workers. It is not that they like to complain. They realize that they are going to be rushed off their feet at Christmas. They know that their employers need happy customers to make their profits that pay their wages. But there is o
29、ne thing about working in a shop over Christmas that is too bad to tolerate. That thing is music. These days, all shops and many offices have what is known as “Piped music“ or “muzak“ playing for all the hours that they are open. Muzak has an odd history. During the 1940s, music was played to cows a
30、s part of a scientific experiment. It was found that cows which listened to simple, happy music produced more milk. Perhaps workers and customers who listened to simple, happy music would be more productive and spend more money. In fact, nobody knows what effect playing muzak in shops has on profits
31、. It is simply something that everybody does. But we are learning more about the effect of constantly repeated hearings of songs on the people who have to hear them all the time. Research shows that repeated hearings of complex pieces of music bring greater enjoyment before becoming tiresome. And th
32、at point come much sooner with simple songs. “Thats especially the case with tunes that are already familiar. Once that tipping point is reached, repeated listening become unpleasant, says Professor John Sloboda of UKs Keele Universitys music psychology group. “And the less control you have over wha
33、t you hear, the less you like it. Thats why police forces in the US often try and resolve hostage situations by playing pop songs over and over again at high volume. Eventually, it becomes too much for the criminals to stand and they give up. The problem gets particularly bad at Christmas, when the
34、muzak consists entirely of the same few festive tunes played over and over again. What makes it worse for the shop workers is that they already know these runes. They get bored very quickly. Then they get irritated. Then they get angry. Shop workers in Austria recently threatened to go on strike for
35、 the right to silence. “Shop workers cant escape the Christmas muzak. They feel as if they are terrorized all day. Especially Jingle Bells. It arouses aggressive feelings,“ said Gottfried Rieser, of the Austrian shop workers union. It is not just shop workers who complain. A survey this year by UK r
36、ecruitment website Retailchoice. com found that Christmas is not only the most testing time for shop workers, but that almost half had complaints from customers about muzak. And the British Royal National Institute for the Deaf estimates that some stores play Jingle Bells 300 times each year. “Thats
37、 acoustic torture, says Nigel Rodgers of Pipedown. A group against muzak. “Its not loud but the repetitive nature causes psychological stress. “ The group wants the government to legislate against unwanted music in stores, hospitals, airports, swimming pools and other public places, claiming it rais
38、es the blood pressure and depresses the immune system. Perhaps groups like Pipedown dont really have much to complain about. After all, surely the real point is that people have money to spend. Why complain about a bit of music? 31 The shop workers in the Western world are glad when Christmas is ove

Im very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best
44、 matchmaking(媒人 ) ideas come while Im in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom. Before I did matchmaking , I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had s
45、een too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970. Over the last few years weve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to me

47、 months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts.
