【题目】 What would Barbie look like if she were average?

According to US artist Nickolay Lamm, she would be a brunette with a rounded face and a much thicker waist．

Frustrated with the unrealistic beauty standards of Barbie and her friends, Lamm took data from Disease Control and Prevention about an average 19-year-old American woman, who is about 163 cm tall, with a 84-cm waist． With those measurements, Lamm created a doll．

The doll-s tagline （口号）is “Average is beautiful．”

“I think a realistic-size doll is important because when I look at current dolls on the market, they all look like supermodels," the artist told APF． “I just had the impression that the wall of supermodels suggests that something is wrong with you if you don-t look like one． So I created an alternative to suggest that it’s OK to look like a normal person．"

The Lammily dolls, which are 27 cm tall, have been on sale since last month．

Lammily also has other features． Unlike Barbie and her friends, whose pointed legs would force her to walk on all fours if she were real, Lammily has articulated（枢接的） joints – able to walk, run, and play． The doll can even be put in a yoga position．

What’s more, the Lammily dolls include a sticker package that can help to add real-life marks to the dolls, including freckles, acne, moles, and tattoos．

“You can also add minor cuts and bruises, like ones you'd get from falling down while snowboarding," Lamm told NBC．

“I feel that, right now． dolls are very perfect looking, when, in real life, few of us have perfect skin," Lamm told The Huffington Post． “Things like pimples are a natural part of who we are． So, why not give dolls a real treatment?"

As The Huffington． Post said, "Getting kids used to the idea that these things are completely normal and not 6flaws'（缺陷） to be ashamed of can only be a good thing．"

【题目】The resounding film Avatar has been very popular in the UK and around the world， becoming the fastest film ever to earn 1 billion dollars(7 billion yuan) in ticket sales.

But as well as being an entertaining feast for the eyes, the sci-fi epic (叙事诗)also introduces the audience to a brand new language invented especially for the film.

The movie is set in an alien planet called Pandora which is inhabited by many strange species. The most humanoid of the planet's inhabitants are the Na'vi, and it is the struggle between the Na'vi and human invader that forms the main story of the film.

The film has been released in 2D and 3D versions.

In order to add a sense of reality to his vision of an alien race the film's director James Cameron asked a professor of language from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na'vi.

Professor Paul Frommer worked with James Cameron for four years to build upon the original 30 words or so that the director had already come up with for the language.

According to Professor Frommer, the most important aspect of the Na'Vi language was that it could be pronounced.

"This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors," Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to be sounds that human beings are comfortable producing."

The language currently has around 1，000 words but Professor Frommer hopes to expand it in possible sequels (续集)to the film and in video games.

The professor hopes that one day his creation will have a high level of the Klingon alien language from the Star Trek films.

"There's a translation of Hamlet into Klingon," says Professor Frommer.

"If anything happened like this with Na'Vi, I'd be delighted."
