Forexample, if a man holds open a door, many women will be “flattered” (honoredand pleased), but some women will be “insulted” (upset and angry) because theyinterpret it as a sign of a man showing that he is stronger than she is.“Nevertheless” (even though that is true), men can perform many chivalrous actsto show their respect and admiration for women. In addition to holding opendoors and car doors, they can hold an umbrella over a woman’s head when it israining. If it is cold outside, they can offer the woman their jacket. If it is too coldor rainy, the man can go to get the car and bring it closer to the door so that thewoman does not have to walk in the “inclement weather” (bad weather).Traditionally, to be chivalrous, when walking down the street, the man walks onthe side of the sidewalk that is closest to the street, so that if a car drives througha “puddle” (water that has collected in a low part on a street), it will not splashonto her.Similarly, in a restaurant, a man stands up as a woman arrives at the table andwhen she stands up to leave the table. Men can also pull out the woman’s chairto make it easier for her to sit down.______________Comprehension Questions Correct Answers: 1 – a; 2 – c4These materials are copyrighted by the Center for Educational Development (2013).
