Reading Comprehension:
Chinese and Indian drug makers now manufacture more than 80 percent of the active
ingredients in drugs sold worldwide. But they had never been able to copy the complex and
expensive biotech medicines increasingly used to treat cancer, diabetes and other diseases
in rich nations – until now. These generic drug companies say they are on the verge of
selling cheaper copies of such huge sellers as Herceptin for breast cancer, Avastin for colon
cancer, Rituxan for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Enbrel for reheumatoid arthritis. Their
entry into the market in the next year – made possible by hundreds of millions of dollars
invested in biotechnology plants – could not only transform the care of patients in much of
the world but also ignite a counterattack by major pharmaceutical companies and diplomats
from richer countries.
Rich nations and the pharmaceutical industry agreed 10 years ago to give up patent
rights and the profits that came with them in the face of an AIDS pandemic that threatened
to depopulate much of Africa, but they saw deaths from cancer, diabetes and other
non-communicable diseases less of an emergency. These chronic diseases, however,
account for two-thirds of all deaths. Mexico alone spends about $120 million buying
Herceptin to treat women with breast cancer, which is nearly one-half of 1 percent of all
government spending on health care. These new biotech copycats may be less expensive
than the originals, but they will never be cheap.
In retrospect, the battle 10 years ago over AIDS medicines was a small skirmish
compared with the one likely to erupt over cancer, diabetes and heart medicines. The AIDS
drug market was never a major moneymaker for global drug giants, while cancer and
diabetes drugs are central to the companies’ very survival. The New York Times
What is the primary purpose of this passage?

Three overlapping concepts will be analyzed: (1) patriarchy, which encompassed the
whole of society as the unit of analysis and described universal male domination; (2)
sex-role stereotyping, which stressed the individual’s internalization of cultural gender roles;
and (3) institutional sexism, which addressed the inequalities built into institutional
structures and policies.
The patriarchic interpretation asserted that male domination characterized society as
a whole. In this view, schools, like all other institutions, revealed a pattern of discrimination
against women; men set educational policy and preempted the administration of schools;
they determined what knowledge was considered most important; and their values
permeated instruction. To dislodge patriarchy would require nothing less than a revolution
in attitudes and a profound redistribution of power.
Another approach that had greater currency in educational analysis – the sex-role
socialization model – focused on how girls and boys were taught different gender roles.
One reason for the popularity of this interpretation may be that psychological thinking has
dominated educational research in fields like developmental psychology and in programs
like compensatory education. Advocates of this position typically took a hierarchical view
of sex-role socialization, according to which adults such as parents or teachers inculcated
the stereotypes in children. Underlying this approach was an individualist and pluralist idea;
that all pupils, if given the right help, could realize all their potential in a world in which
people were no longer handicapped by faulty gender socialization.
