20.If you've not heard that the decade-old princess-culture is causing problems-especially if you're a parent-you must be actively working to avoid it.
The latest study adding fuel to the fire comes out of Brigham Young University and finds that the Disney princess obsession can be harmful to girls.
"I think parents think that the Disney princess culture is safe.That's the word I hear time and time again-it's safe."Lead study author Sarah M.Coyne of the Mormon institution in Utah noted in a press release."But if we're fully jumping in here and really embracing (accepting) it,parents should really consider the long-term impact of the princess culture."
So,what's the problem this time around?Same as always,confirmed the study,published in the journal Child Development,which involved the assessment of 198 preschoolers:Lots of engagement with princess culture (whether through moves or toys) can lead to gender-stereotypical(性別定性)behavior as well as self-critical body image.
The strict gender stereotypes can hold girls back."They feel like they can't do some things,"Coyne said,"They're not as confident that they can do well in math and science.They don't like getting dirty,so they're less likely to try and experiment with things."
On the other hand,"Disney princesses represent some of the first examples of exposure to the thin ideal,"Coyne said."As women,we get it our whole lives,and it really does start at the Disney princess level,at age 3 and 4."
So,what should a parent do?Try his or her best to avoid all princesses for the entire of a girl's childhood?I'd say,have moderation in all things,have your kids involved in all sorts of activities,and just have princesses be one of many,many things that they like to do and engage with."Coyne suggested."This study has changed the way I talk to my daughter,the things I focus on,and it's been really good for me as a parent to learn from this study,"Coyne said."I usually can't say that my research findings have such a personal impact on my life."

25.What do we know about the study?A
A.It proved that the Disney princess obsession is harmful.
B.Sarah M.Coyne is the first one to do the research.
C.It started a heated discussion among people.
D.It suggested watching TV programmes of I lie Disney is safe.
26.How many problems can the Disney princess culture cause according to the study?B
A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four
27.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 6 refer to?C
A.the Disney princess culture
B.the idea that girls can't do some things
C.The idea that girls should be thin
D.The problem the Disney culture causes
28 What advice does Coyne give to parents?D
A.Actively work on the old princess culture.
B.Change their way they talk to their daughter.
C.Avoid girls to watch any princesses.
D.Have girls involved in all kinds of activities.

分析 本文主要寫的是迪士尼公主的瘦的形象給那些癡迷者帶來的問題和應(yīng)對措施.

解答 25.A 細節(jié)推斷題.根據(jù)第一段、第二段第四段Same as always,confirmed the study,…直到段末可知,迪士尼公主的癡迷是有害的,A項正確.
26.B 細節(jié)理解題.關(guān)鍵句Lots of engagement with princess culture can lead to (whether…or toys)gender-stereotypical behavior as well as self-critical body image.與公主文化的大量接觸會導(dǎo)致性別刻板行為和自我批評的身體形象.所以是兩個問題,答案選B.
27. C猜測詞義題. 指代關(guān)系,屬于猜詞題.聯(lián)系Coyne說的前后兩句話可知it 指的是句子Disney princesses represent some of the first examples of exposure to the thin ideal.迪士尼公主代表了理想之中"瘦"的例子這件事,所以答案選C.
28.D 細節(jié)理解題.最后一個自然段I'd say,have moderation in all things,have your kids involved in all sorts of activities,and just have princesses be one of many,many things that they like to do and engage with.我想說,凡事都要適度,讓你的孩子參與各種各樣的活動,并且讓公主成為他們喜歡做的事情中的一個.所以答案選D.

點評 本文考查細節(jié)題為主,細節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對相關(guān)部分進行分析對比,找出答案.

the sun doesn't come out even once!Instead of going to the beach or sightseeing,we spent most days

8.To Apologize or Not to Apologize
Why difficult?
When we do wrong to someone we know,even not(41)B,we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation.But when we're acting as leaders,the circumstance are(42)D.The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the(43)Abut also at the level of the institution.It is a performance in which every word or expression(44)B,as they become part of the public record.Refusing to apologize can be smart,or it can be stupid.So,readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness.
Why now?
The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more(45)A.During the last decade or so,the United States in particular has developed an apology culture--apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more(46)Cthan before.More  newspaper writers  have  written  about  the  growing  importance  of(47)D-apologies.Meanwhile,more and more articles,advice colums,and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of(48)Capologies.Although they are not carried out in the public places,we can't neglect the importance of this performance.
Why(49)A?
Why do we apologize?Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult,embarrassing,and even risky?Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target for(50)B.They are expected to appear strong and capable.And whether they make public statements of any kind,their individual and institutional reputations are in danger.Clearly,then,leaders should not apologize often.For a leader to express apology,there needs to be a strong(51)C.Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so
Why refuse?
Why is it that leaders so often try every means to(52)Dapologies,even when a public apology seems to be in order?Their reasons can be individual or institutional.Because leaders are public figures,their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even(53)Brisky.Apologies can be signals for admitting mistakes and mistakes can be an indication of job insecurity.Leaders may also be afraid that(54)Bof a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible.There can be good reasons for hanging tough (硬撐)in tough situation,as we shall see,but it is a high-risk(55)D.
