Sweden has a longstanding reputation as an egalitarian country with a narrow gender gap.But a national debate about gender equality has revealed substantial dissatisfaction,with some Swedes feeling it has gone too far.Rousing controversy now is the issue of gender pedagogy,a concept that emerged in the early 2000s and typically involves challenging gender stereotypes in learning material and in avoiding treating male and female pupils in a stereotypical manner.But what has sharpened the debate in Sweden has been the argument that schools should also be gender neutral,giving children the opportunity to define themselves as neither male nor female if they wish.
Kristina Henkel,a gender expeIrt specializing in equality in schools,disputes the argument that gender pedagogy and neutrality are being foisted on Swedes.“Sweden has a long tradition of working with equality and this has had strong support among politicians,”
she says,and adds that“the question of gender neutrality,or of everyone having equal rights despite their gender,has also been driven by activists at the grassroots level.”
But Elise Claeson,a columnist and a former equality expert at the Swedish
Confederation of Professions,disagrees.“I have long participated in debates with gender pedagogues and they act like an elite,”she says.“They tend to be well.educated.live in big cities,and have contacts in the media,and they clearly despise traditional people.”
Ms.Claeson has been a vocal critic of the word“hen,”a new,gender.neutral pronoun that was recently included in the online version of the National Encyclopedia.Around the same time,Sweden’s first gender—neutral children’s book was published.The author,Jesper Lundqvist,uses hen throughout his book,completely avoiding han and hon,the Swedish words for him and her.
Claeson believes that the word hen can be harmful to young children because,she says,it can be confusing for them to receive contradicting messages about their genders in school,at home,and in society at large.“It is important to have your gender confirmed to you as a child.This does not limit children:it makes them confident about their identity...Children ought to be allowed to mature slowly and naturally.As adults we can choose to expand and change our gender identities.”
Last fall,nearly 200 teachers gathered in Stockholm to discuss how to avoid“traditional gender patterns”in schools.The conference was part of a research project run by the National Agency for Education and supported by the Delegation for Equality in Schools.“I work with these issues in Finland and Norway and it is clear to me that they have been inspired by the Swedish preschool—and school curricula,”says Ms.Henkel,the gender expert.But Henkel also insists that gender equality is a rights issue that cannot simply be left to the state to handle.Instead,she says,it requires the active involvement of citizens.
“Rights are not something we receive and then don’t have to fight for.This is about a redistribution of power,and for that,initiative and action are needed,not just fancy legislation.”
The problem that bothers Swedes most nowadays is________.

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Your translation should be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)
Annual check—ups and company “wellness programmes”have become a familiar part of the corporate landscape.(46)Companies are now also starting to touch on a potentially troubling area:their employees mental health.Companies as diverse as BT.Rolls Royce and Grant Thornton have introduced mental health programmes ranging from training managers to spot problems to rehabilitating those suffering breakdowns.
The Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health estimates that a sixth of the Bfitish workforce suffers from depression or stress.That mental ill health costs Bfitish employers almost$26 billion a year and American research suggests that“presenteeism”costs twice as much as absenteeism.Recently Grant Thornton sends its managers on a two day program put on by Positive Health Strategies,a London company.(47)Its program screens people forpsychological well being,and offers advice on“optimizing performance”and“staying positive under pressure”.Focusing on the upper ranks makes sense for companies.The stars not only represent huge profits.They are also most likely to live under stress while maintaining a stiff upper lip.But focusing on stars also makes sense for the mental wellness movement itself:the best way to insert yourself into a company’s DNA is to seduce its leadership.
(48)What should one make of the corporate world’s new found interest in promoting mental health?For sure,depression and anxiety can take a serious toll on productivity,and companies bear their share of the blame for promoting stress in the first place.And catching psychological problems early can prevent them from escalating.This all sounds promising.
But there are nevertheless several troubling aspects.
The first worry is that promoting psychological wellness crosses an important line between the public and the private,raising awkward questions.Should companies pry into people’s emotional lives?Can they be trusted with the information they gather?And should psychologically frail workers put their faith in people who work primarily for their employers rather than in their personal doctors?Workers rightly worry that companies will use psychological information in their annual appraisals. (49)And that bosses will see the trend as an excuse for extending their power over staff-using the veiled threat of somehow being classified as mentally impaired to make them obey,and conform.
A second worry is about the scientific foundations of the mental wellness movement.A phrase like“mental fitness”is bound to attract chalants and salesmen.Warren Bennis of the University of Southern California has noted that the new“science”of neuroleadership is “filled with banalities”.0ther people are less complimentary.The biggest problem with the movement lies in the assumption that promoting psychological wellness is as good as encouraging the physical sort.(50)Few would doubt that good physical health makes for good productivity;but it is not self-evident that a positive mental attitude is good for a worker or his output:history shows that misfits have contributed far more to creativity than perky optimists.Besides,curmudgeonliness is arguably a rational way to cope with an imperfect world,rather than a sign of mental maladjustment.Companies that chase the elusive“positive attitudes”may end up damaging themselves as well as sticking their noses where they have no business.

Even if we could make it impossible for people to commit crimes,should we?Or would doing so improperly deprive people of their freedom?
This may sound like a fanciful concern,but it is an increasingly real one.The new federal transportation bill,for example,authorized funding for a program that seeks to prevent the crime of drunken driving not by raising public consciousness or issuing stiffer punishments—but by making the crime practically impossible to commit.(41)______ The Dadss program is part of a trend toward what I call the“perfect prevention”of crime:depriving people of the choice to commit an offense in the first place.The federal government’s Intelligent Transportation Systems program,which is creating technology to share data among vehicles and road infrastructure like traffic lights,could make it impossible for a driver to speed or run a red light.(42)______
Such technologies force US to reconcile two important interests.On one hand is society’s desire for safety and security.On the other hand is the individual’S right to act freely. Conventional crime prevention balances these interests by allowing individuals the freedom to commit crime,but punishing them if they do.
The perfect prevention of crime asks US to consider exactly how far individual freedom extends.Does freedom include a“right”to drive drunk.for instance?It is hard to imagine that it does.(43)______
For most familiar crimes(murder,robbery,rape,arson),the law requires that the actor have some guilty state of mind,whether it is intent,recklessness or negligence.
(44)______
In such cases,using technology to prevent the crime entirely would not unduly burden individual freedom;it would simply be effective enforcement of the statute.Because there is no mental state required to be guilty of the offense,the government could require,for instance.that drug manufacturers apply a special tamper-proof coating to all pills,thus making the sale of tainted drugs practically impossible,without intruding on the thoughts of any future seller.
But because the government must not intrude on people’s thoughts,perfect prevention is a bad fit for most offenses.(45) ______ Even if this could be known,perhaps with the help of some sort of neurological scan,collecting such knowledge would violate an individual’s freedom of thought.
Perfect prevention is a politically attractive approach to crime prevention,and for strict— liability crimes it is permissible and may be good policy if implemented properly.But for most offenses,the threat to individual freedom is too great to justify this approach.This is not because people have a right to commit crimes;they do not.Rather,perfect prevention threatens our right to be free in our thoughts,even when those thoughts turn to crime.
