There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly， 1 he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was far away.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no—it 4 （cover） with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed. He said it was full of flowers that looked very beautiful.

The last son said it was full of fruit.

The man then explained 5 his sons that they were all wrong， because they had each seen just one season in the trees life.

He told 6 （they） that people cannot judge 7 a tree is， or how a person is， by only one season. The 8 （please）， joy and love 9 （come） from life can only be measured in the end.

If you give up when its winter， you will miss the promise of your spring， the 10 （beautiful） of your summer and the fruit of your fall.

“Equal pay for equal work” is a phrase used by American women who feel they are 1 （unfair） treated by society. They think 2 is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same amount of work.

Some people hold the opposite opinion. They say men have more duties than women.

When wives go out to work， they say， the home and children are paid no attention 6 . If women 7 （encourage） by equal pay to take up jobs， they will not be able to do the things that they are best at doing： making a nice home and bringing up children. Women who disagree say that they want to escape from the limited place which society 8 （expect） them to fill and to have 9 （free） to choose between a job 10
