Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America．Rightly so．But selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman．As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention．And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see．

Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined．The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man．Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being neck-swirling（搖頭晃腦）, eye-rolling（目光不專）, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers．

These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama．Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundations as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself．

It won’t be easy．Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis．For better or worse, Michelle will become a stand-in for us all．

Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of adoring fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady．African-American blogs have all written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House---mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family．Michelle will have to work to please everyone---an impossible task．But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise, confidence and intellect will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long．

60．Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?

       A．She serves as a role model for African-American women．

       B．She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady．

       C．She will present to the world a new image of African-American women．

       D．She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women

61．What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?

       A．They are victims of family violence．

       B．They are of an inferior（下等的次等的）social group．

       C．They use quite a lot of body language．

       D．They live on charity and social welfare．

62． What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?

       A．However many fans she has, she should remain modest．

       B．She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community．

       C．However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody．

       D．She will give priority to African-American women’s concern．
