In the mid 1940’s, the young ambitious duo Ruth and Elliot Handler, owned a company that made wooden picture frames. Elliot and his partner Harold Mattson built the samples and Ruth was in charge of marketing them. Elliot began to use the scraps of wood from picture frames to make doll furniture. This was the beginning of their toy business. It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler joined with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created. This company would be named Mattel, MATT for Mattson, and EL for Elliot. Mattel continued to grow from a very profitable business into a corporate giant.

The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail (马尾辫). She looked and seemed very grown-up, but any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong. Mattel sold three hundred thousand Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars. Today, a fiftyyear-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than twenty-seven thousand dollars.

尤其是好多孩子,因为没有英语基础,所以在去年刚开始上课的时候,他们比较害羞,说话的声音很小,但这几节课时一节课比一节课表现好。
底子好的同学们上讲台来表演也很踊跃。
但个别学生在上学期出现了做小动作的现象,还没有养成好的学习习惯。
通过教学发现,学生的学习兴趣还是有的,这就要求教师保持他们的浓厚的学习兴趣。
由于学生的年龄比较小,学习的自觉性还不够,所以教师要培养其良好的学习习惯,形成有效的学习方法。

芭比娃娃英文 ppt
Ruth Handler The Barbie doll was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler, whose own daughter was called Barbara. Ruth Handler, creator of the Barbie doll, died on April 27th, aged 85.
According
to Mattel, an American girl aged up to 11 is likely to own ten Barbie dolls. French children are said to own five. But several million grown-up women are also said to own Barbies. “She is more than a doll to them, whatever their age,” Mrs Handler said. “She has become part of them.” There are Barbie collectors of both sexes: a 1959 Barbie that sold for $3 is now said to be worth $5,000 in good condition.
Suppressing her American blushes, Mrs Handler bought three and took them back to America. She said she had been thinking for some time of producing a “grown-up” doll for children, but the men in her firm said there would be no demand for one: what children liked was dolls that looked like babies. Inspired by Lilli, Mrs Handler designed a respectable American doll called Barbie (her daughter's name) with breasts but without nipples and wearing clothes that were pretty but non-provocative. The first dolls were made in Japan and in 1959 “Barbie the teenage model” made its debut at the American Toy Fair in New York. It was the success of the show, selling 350,000 Barbies in the first year. Since then more than a billion Barbies have been sold worldwide.

❖ Still, America is happy to celebrate success, whatever its mystery, and Barbie gained fame not simply as a product but as an icon. Andy Warhol produced an image of Barbie, to be applauded alongside that of Marilyn Monroe. At one time you could hardly switch on the radio in America without hearing the song “Barbie Girl”, albeit by a Danish group, Aqua: “Life in plastic/It's fantastic.” A Barbie doll was buried in an American government time capsule as representative of life in the 20th century. Barbie was said to be “the archetypal woman”, a modern Mona Lisa. On television feminists said Barbie was a bimbo and bad for children. Mrs Handler retorted that Barbie offered children choices of what to be when they grew up. Academe bent its mind to the Barbie phenomenon. Students on a sociology course were set the following exercise: “What criticisms have been made of Barbie as a role model? Do you agree with this criticism? In your opinion should the manufacturers be sensitive to this criticism? There are no ‘right' answers to these questions, but you should develop a line of reasoning that reflects your values.”

• After watching her daughter play so interestedly with adult-like paper dolls, however, Ruth stuck to her idea. During a trip to Germany with her daughter, Ruth discovered a German doll named lily in a shop window. The adult-like lily doll was exactly what Ruth had in mind, so she bought three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. • The Lily doll was based on a popular character in a newspaper comic strip. Mattel re-made the doll into a decent, all- American version. Since her introduction in 1959,Barbie has become the queen of the dolls. Mattel says the average American girl owns ten Barbie dolls, and two are sold somewhere in the world every second.
