When she received the Disney-brand book What Is A Princess？as a gift for her daughter,Lindemann thought the messages seemed a little shallow.Lindemann’s efforts included changing “A princess is kind” to “A princess is kind of a badass” and completing t h e sentence”A princess likes to dress up”. “I just want my daughter to see that she can be anything she wants,”the mom explained, “She can also speak her own mind and be a doctor or a senator if she wants.”After Lindemann made the changes, she thought her daughter might be a bit confused, but the daughter actually just rolled with it. Lindemann did not intend for many people to see her edits. She just found it amusing. Though she didn’t imagine having such a wide audience, Lindemann says she thinks it’s great if her edits make people s mile or even think a bit differently about gender models.Further, Lindemann added, ''there is absolutely nothing wrong with girls （or boys!）wanting to put on something sparkly and feel pretty. But when the ruling idea is that girls —and women — are judged mainly on their physical appearance in a way that boys and men are not, I think ifs important to model some other values for these girls as well.”As a parent, she believes it’s import ant to show girls that their worth does not lie only in their physical appearance and that their other qualities are valuable and important. For her, if there were a variety of children’s books out there in which little girls were shown playing with trucks and trains and learning to be engineers and surgeons, and if there were books out there in which boys were shown getting a kick out of dressing up in fancy clothes, it would be a different world.“At present, it’s not that world. But time will tell,” she stressed.24. Why did Lindemann begin editing the story book for her daughter？A. She was good at telling stories.B. She hoped to inspire her daughter.C.

Disappointed but acceptableCIf you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for morris dancing. Undoubtedly one of the strangest traditions of English culture, morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the opportunity, you really have to see it.Men and women wearing old-fashioned, shabby clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly （有褶皱边的）skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folkmusic which is often played on traditional musical instruments.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when ifs over, the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.Morris dancing is a great English tradition but ifs facing a big crisis. As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and eventually. If you’ve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s riot exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing. Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing？ Or playing sport？ Or doing anything else？However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and lively part o f England’s history and culture. It’s important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would-be morris dancers! Let’s hope they don’t lea ve it too late.28. What do we know about morris dancers？A. They dance in pubs late into the night.B. They sing folk music while they dance.C.

The Introduction of morris dancing.DA generation ago young people longed to become lawyers and doctors. Now they desire to be the next Oscar winner or famous pop star. But one university psychologist has pointed out that this is damaging our self-image and sense of self-worth. Over recent years people around the world have been suffering from an increasing fear of their own “insignificance”, according to Dr. Strenger of Tel Aviv University.He began a project on the phenomenon 10 years ago, after noticing an increase of fear in his own patients. His findings note hundreds of research projects that have recorded an unprecedented （前所未有）increase in levels of anxiety and depression. By using a wide-ranging framework Dr. Strenger thinks he has given the accurate cause. “The impact of the global en tertainment network on the individual is to blame,” he said. “A new species—global man—is born and we are defined by our close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and evaluating people according to wealth and fame into an obsession （狂热）.”As humans we naturally measure ourselves by those around us, but now we live in a “global village” where we are comparing ourselves with the most “significant” people in theworld - and finding ourselves not good enough. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media. “This creates highly unstable personality and an unstable society,” Dr. Strenger said.Dr. Strenger says people should stop measuring their achievement through the cultural fantasies of rich and famous people. The remedy （治疗方法）is a process that he calls “active self-acceptance”through a continuing search for self-knowledge through life. The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement. “People should invest time and thought in their personal growth from different aspects in the same way they invest in medical studies and law school,” Dr. Strenger advises.32. What can be known about the “global men”？A. They are in a bad mood every day.B. They want to be a leader overnight.C. They expect something unrealistic.D. They are independent of global network.33. According to Dr. Strenger, what leads people to feel insignificant？A. Inside anxietyB. Outer pressureC. Inner expectationD. Outside environment34. How should we remove the fear of “insignificance”？A. We stay away from famous people.B. We take time to improve ourselves.C. We try to make our dreams come true.D. We learn from successful people around.35. For what purpose is the passage written？A. T o criticize and adviseB. To entertain and amuseC. T o present and advertiseD. To compare arid conclude第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
