　　C．anxiety

　　D．anger

　　A．was

　　B．were

　　C．have been

　　D．has been

　　Jeanette Rankin was born on a ranch in Montana, USA in 1882. In those days, Montana was still a frontier stale, and life there was hard. Men and women shared the difficult outdoor work. But young Jeanette noticed men and women were not equal in many ways. For instance, at election time, women were not allowed to vote. Jeanette thought this was not fair, and several years later，after graduating from college, she realized how to help change the situation.
