Dalle lotte femministe degli anni settanta molte cose sono cambiate per la donna nella società italiana. Comunque, anche se a parole la parità tra uomini e donne sembra essere ormai riconosciuta da tutti, nel mondo del lavoro c’è ancora molto lavoro da fare. Troppo poche ancora sono le donne nel Parlamento italiano così come nelle posizioni di maggiore importanza nelle grandi compagnie. A poco a poco le barriere però sembrano cadere veramente: nel 2000, infatti, anche il mondo dei militari ha aperto le porte alle donne. Ad Ascoli Piceno si trova la sola caserma (barracks) italiana dove vengono addestrate le volontarie soldato: due settimane di prova e poi, se decidono di continuare, dieci settimane di duro lavoro fisico e mentale, per arrivare alla cerimonia finale del giuramento. Oggi le donne-soldato sono circa quattromila, il 3% di tutto l’Esercito italiano, di cui quasi duecento ufficiali. Ma chi sono queste donne che decidono di fare questa carriera e perché? Vanno dai diciotto ai venticinque anni, vengono da tutta Italia con livelli di studi differenti (dalla terza media alla laurea universitaria) e, nella maggior parte dei casi, sono spinte alla carriera militare per necessità (non è sempre facile trovare lavoro in Italia) o per la passione che i genitori o i fratelli, anch’essi militari, hanno fatto crescere in loro. Le donne italiane nell’esercito possiedono ______. a. la laurea b. il diploma delle scuole medie c. diversi tipi di diplomi

Read Excerpt B below about immigration and answer the vocabulary question which follow.

Excerpt B For more than ten years (1991), sociologist Martin Jankowski did participant observation of thirtyseven gangs in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York City. Contrary to stereotypes, Jankowski did not find that the motive for joining was to escape a broken home (there were as many members from intact as from broken homes) or to seek a substitute family (since as many boys said they were close to their families as said they were not). Rather, the boys joined to gain access to money, to have recreation (including girls and drugs), to maintain anonymity in committing crimes, to get protection, and to help the community. This last reason may seem surprising, but in some neighborhoods gangs protect residents from outsiders. The boys also saw the gang as an alternative to the dead-end jobs held by their parents. Neighborhood residents are ambivalent about gangs. On the one hand, they fear the violence. On the other hand, many adults once belonged to gangs, [stating that] since gang members are the children of people who live in the neighborhood, they often provide better protection than the police. 1. The underlined phrase contrary to, as used in the excerpt, most nearly means a. in agreement with. b. similar to. c. in opposition to. 2. The underlined word intact most nearly means a. broken. b. uncaring. c. united. 3. Anonymity describes the situation in which a person is a. individualistic. b. unidentifiable. c. easily recognizable. 4. The underlined phrase dead-end jobs indicates that the boys who were surveyed a. had a distaste for their parents’ careers. b. idolized their parents’ careers. c. were indifferent about their parents’ careers. 5. As used in the excerpt, the underlined word ambivalent most nearly means a. determined. b. decisive. c. undecided.
