Question

Claire Lee, a girl, lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the U. S. Last Thursday, she didn’t go to school. She went to work with her mother instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work.

The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U. S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when they grow up, they can choose a job they like.

Claire’s mother works in a company. Claire says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the company with my mum. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs. ” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Claire went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks（牙签）and candy. In the company, they learned to type pictures.
