According to The New York Times, however, “she” is more than just a toy. Barbie is watching the societys changing attitudes (态度) toward women.When Barbie was first introduced by Ruth Handler (1916-2002), one of the starters of US toy company Mattel, she had good plans. “Barbie has always shown the fact that a woman has choices,” according to a book, Dream Doll: The Ruth Handler Story.But the earliest Barbie wasnt offered too many choices at all. Barbie appeared either in a swimsuit or a housewifes dress.A good point is that the following years showed some progress, as Mattel introduced Barbie dolls with different skin colors and clothing for different jobs and hobbies. A new turning point came on International Womens Day of 2018, when the company started a line of “Inspiring Women”. The dolls came out as famous women from history, including great US pilot Amelia Earhart and UK boxer (拳击手) Nicola Adams, which encouraged all other women.But even though Mattel seemed to have good purposes, these new dolls werent safe from bad words. Unlike the real Nicola Adams, for example, the doll has no muscles (肌肉). Instead, its designed with a slim body, just like every other Barbie. According to the reporter Grace Kang, this exactly reflects the worlds present attitude toward women. “Were allowed to be fit, but were not supposed to have too many muscles. Were allowed to be clever, but smart women are meant to look like models with glasses on. Were allowed to be creative and artistic, but quickly become crazy if we start to look too messy,” she wrote.No, Barbie isnt perfect. But shes slowly changing peoples views. Maybe thats one thing real women can do.36 . According to Paragraph 1, we know Barbie has always been _.AexpensiveBpopularCchangeable37 . Which of the following sentences could be added to describe the process in Barbies role changing?Barbie used to be a housewife.Barbie is a boxer who won the gold medal.ABarbie took care of babies at borne.BBarbie became a great pilot in history.CBarbie with dark skin worked as a nurse.38 . The underlined word “Inspiring” means _ in the passage.A鼓舞人心的B启发灵感的C多愁善感的39 . What might be the worlds present attitude toward women according to Grace Kang?AWomen are supposed to be fit and strong.BWomen should be like a crazy artistCWomen are expected to be perfect.40 . What is the purpose of the writer?ATo make people change views toward women.BTo help women to be more creative and artistic.CTo encourage women to be perfect like Barbie.When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.Good reading tips:Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.Try to increase (增加) the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you dont have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read: mark (标记) them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary (词汇) book. Then try to remember them.Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers.

Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Heres how. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Dont forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When sitting down to study, pay enough attention to the subject. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,to read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont be too worried. There are other methods that might help you with your study. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.根据上面短文内容填空。51 .
