doll is a doll,but Barbie illustrates how,over the last five decades,women have become a
standard for judging what freedom really means. How women are treated in different countries
tells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live.
The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in
role playing,giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up,whether to be
frivolous or serious (or both)．
But in many countries that"s not an option. In Saudi Arabia,where woman can"t drive or go
out publicly unless covered,Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to
Islam (伊斯兰教) and a threat to morality.
In America,she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease
but she"s as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her "growth"
from model to astronaut.
Barbie inspired a dollrevolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed
electronically to say "Math class is tough",she was criticized by a national women"s group
and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she"s a bad influence
because she"s too thin and encourages anorexia,that she has run through too many
stereotypes,and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child"s play.
In some Muslim countries,substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote
traditional values,with their modest clothing and profamily backgrounds. They are widely
seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market.
Toyseller Masounmen Rahimi welcomed the dolls,saying Barbie was "foreign to Muslim
culture" because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with
Barbie,could grow into women who reject Muslim values. "I think every Barbie doll is
more harmful than an American missile," Ms Rahimi said.

| During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman"s youngest child will be fifteen when she is fortyfive and can be expected to live another thirtyfive years and is likely to take paid work until sixty. This important change in women"s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women"s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the schoolleaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or parttime work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life. 1. We are told that in a family in about 1900 ________. A. a few children died before they were five B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five C. the youngest child would be fifteen D. four or five children died when they were five 2. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she ________. A. is younger when her children are more enough to look after themselves B. does not like children herself C. needn"t worry about food for her children D. can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty 3. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to________.

A. give up their jobs for good after they are married B. leave school as soon as they can C. marry so that they can get a job D. continue working until they are going to have a baby 5.

A. plays a greater part in looking after the children B. helps his wife by doing much of the housework C. feels dissatisfied with his part in the family D. takes a parttime job so that he can help in the home |
