choose the correct anwer (A, B, C, or D) for the questions 21 and 22. (1.5pts)

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business,
the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women
entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in
annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray,
an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering
management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur".
What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced
degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from
most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed
if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they've found
out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own".
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for
example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software
business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and
engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly
newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox
under the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she
hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed
and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still
face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is
still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small.
But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.
17. Kurtzig’s first product was software that let weekly newspapers recognize the appearance of their
newspaper cariers.
18. Until recently, women were required to stay at home with their families.
19. Business operated by women are small because women are not able to borrow money easily.
20. According to Carolyn Doppelt Gray, the 1970s was the decade of the women entrepreneurs.
21. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business
world.
B. The computer is especially lucrative for women today.
C. Women are better at small business than men are.
D. Women today are opening more business of their own.
22. In paragraph 2, the word “that” refers to _________.
A. women becoming the chairman of the board B. women working hard
C. women believing that business is a place for them D. women achieving advanced degrees
