A
Almost everyone knows the meanings of Mr,Mrs,and Miss.Mr is used before the names of men.Mrs is for married(已婚的)women.Miss is for single(独身的)women.But what is Ms?
For some time,businessmen in the United States have used Ms before a woman's name when they don't know whether the woman is married or not.Today,however,many women prefer the word Ms to Mrs and Miss.The word Mr does not tell us whether or not a man is married.Many women think this is an advantage(有利条件)for men.They want to be equal(平等)to men in this way.These women feel that it is not important for people to know if they are married or not.
There are many problems with Ms,however.Not all women like it.Some like the older ways of doing things.Some find it difficult to pronounce.(Ms sounds like [miz].)Generally,young women like it better than older women do.It is difficult to know whether or not Ms will be used by more American women in the future(未来).What do you think of this change?

Two Letters
Letter A
Dear Etty Kit,
My roommate's family wants me to have thanksgiving dinner with them in their home.I accepted the invitation,and I'm excited about going,but I'm a little worried about it,too.The social customs in my country are very different from here,so I'm a little afraid of making mistakes.
Should I bring a gift,such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table,how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?
Confused
Letter B
Dear Confused,
It's a good idea to bring a small gift when you go to a dinner party.Flowers are always nice,or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family drinks it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late.Don't get there early.If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes late,you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table.If you don't know about choosing the correct fork,knife,or spoon,just watch the other people,and follow them.If you still have no idea of what to do,don't be shy about asking the person next to you.It's better to ask than to be quietly uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food,say so.Of course,you'll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness.It's also a good idea to send a card or thank-you note the day after.
Etty Kit

The other day I watched TV and learned something about women college students.They work hard and study their lesson very well.They're skilled at using the computer and their English is beautiful.But it's still hard for them to get suitable jobs after they graduate.They have tried a lot of companies but no luck.The only reason is that they're women.I think it's unfair.It's in the 21th century now.In this modern society,women should really enjoy equal right with men.I think they can do anything that men do.
