听力原文:M: I'm going to talk to you now about the suffragette movement. Were you yourself ever a suffragette? W: No, I did not approve of suffragettes. M: So you think in the long term ... W: In the long term, no harm was done. As long as their demonstrations were peaceful. M: Do you think it would matter very much if women hadn't achieved the vote? W: I don't think it would have made a great deal of difference, no, but there are certain things they've done--those been Members of Parliament--that have been very useful in helping women in their jobs, in other vocations. I think it's good that it happened. But I wish it happened a little bit more peacefully, perhaps. M: What sort of things can you remember, what other sorts of demon strations do you remember? W: Marching, they were marching. But of course those were much more peaceful days, nobody interfered with their marches. There were a few boos here and there and a lot of clapping. M: Did you, actually know any suffragettes yourself? W: Well, my friends, my Close friends, were not suffragettes but I had one or two friends, not very close friends, that were. And we used to have great arguments and I used to say I didn't want the vote, I don't want to vote. M: How did they react to that? W: They said I ought to join the movement but I said no, l don't want to vote. M: So you don't mind actually joining men in their world of work and sport but you're happy to leave politics to men. W: No. I would rather really leave politics to men. (23)
