chavez, chief of american girl scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word “bossy”. does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?the campaign claims that terms like “bossy” are improperly applied to females, preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future “leaders”. from its first application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men. it first appeared in 1882, according to the oxford english dictionary, mentioning “a lady manager who was extremely bossy”. as late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the ban bossy campaigners. “to me, the reference is always is association with women,” says helen trim, director of fresh minds. “i have three brothers and my family still call me bossy today.” her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says trim, but nobody would ever call him so.some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned.“but the thing withbossy is that theres an infantile (幼稚的)element to it，“says sara mills, professor at sheffield university. “you think of bossy as being like a little kid whos claiming more than he has the right to claim.”its not just“bossy”under fire.“pushy”is another target. the implication is that women shouldnt present themselves as powerful and confident. mills suggests, which some women are willing to listen to and accept. trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeledbossy.and she rarely,if ever, hears the word used within her company. but she says that the damage may be dome much earlier in a womans life.“it does come about from those early teenage years.”she says.“i think its impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words likeconfidenceorassertiveness,we would all be in a much better place.”24.more evidence is provided to show“ bossy” is more applied to females by .a. the oxford english dictionary b. the ban bossy campaignersc. helen trim at fresh mindsd. some experts in education25. trims family still consider her bossy because .a. she is expected to lead in her familyb. she is the boss of her companycshe is a powerful and confident femaled. her farther considers her that way26.the underlined part “under fire” most probably means a. definitely replacedb. strongly criticizedc. improperly appliedd. eagerly expected27.how does the author sound when referring to the campaign against“bossy”?a. objectiveb. angryc. doubtfuld. optimistic cseventeen-year-old randy waldron. jr.was shocked when be applied for his first credit card and was denied. he was even more shocked by the reason: he failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt.waldrons identity had been stolen by his father, who left when randy way learning to walk. from 1982 to 1999, randy waldron.sr, used his sons social security number to obtain credit from various merchants and lenders, then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debts. he declared bankruptcy in his sons name, which resulted in default judgments against the younger waldron. it has taken

family members.some dishonest person use childrens names and social security number to ring up massive debts; others use childrens identities in place of their own when caught committing other crimes; still others sell identification information on the black market to illegal immigrants, fellow criminals or even terrorists. the theft brings its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma（创伤）. in part because the identity abuse often goes undetected for years.dealing with child identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult laws in many states are insufficient to handle the crimes complexity, and financial institutions are often less than helpful. randy waldron ir. has worked tirelessly for eight years to straighten out his credit record and he continues to deal with the fallout. “its been a very long and hard battle,” he says. “ recovering my identity was really the absolute hardest part. i think a lot of victims assume the problem will go away.”28. which of the

brain we use for navigation-is similar in most mammals. if the rats compass develops this way. then its likely a humans compass does, too.if were born with a sense of direction. then why are some people so good at getting lost? the scientists found that the two other cells-place and grid cells-developed within the first month. place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind. while gird cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places. the two cells work together, and thats where the trouble might be.people who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to
