20.If you've not heard that the decade-old princess-culture is causing problems-especially if you're a parent-you must be actively working to avoid it.
The latest study adding fuel to the fire comes out of Brigham Young University and finds that the Disney princess obsession can be harmful to girls.
"I think parents think that the Disney princess culture is safe.That's the word I hear time and time again-it's safe."Lead study author Sarah M.Coyne of the Mormon institution in Utah noted in a press release."But if we're fully jumping in here and really embracing (accepting) it,parents should really consider the long-term impact of the princess culture."
So,what's the problem this time around?Same as always,confirmed the study,published in the journal Child Development,which involved the assessment of 198 preschoolers:Lots of engagement with princess culture (whether through moves or toys) can lead to gender-stereotypical(性别定性)behavior as well as self-critical body image.
The strict gender stereotypes can hold girls back."They feel like they can't do some things,"Coyne said,"They're not as confident that they can do well in math and science.They don't like getting dirty,so they're less likely to try and experiment with things."
On the other hand,"Disney princesses represent some of the first examples of exposure to the thin ideal,"Coyne said."As women,we get it our whole lives,and it really does start at the Disney princess level,at age 3 and 4."
So,what should a parent do?Try his or her best to avoid all princesses for the entire of a girl's childhood?I'd say,have moderation in all things,have your kids involved in all sorts of activities,and just have princesses be one of many,many things that they like to do and engage with."Coyne suggested."This study has changed the way I talk to my daughter,the things I focus on,and it's been really good for me as a parent to learn from this study,"Coyne said."I usually can't say that my research findings have such a personal impact on my life."

25.What do we know about the study?A
A.It proved that the Disney princess obsession is harmful.
B.Sarah M.Coyne is the first one to do the research.
C.It started a heated discussion among people.
D.It suggested watching TV programmes of I lie Disney is safe.
26.How many problems can the Disney princess culture cause according to the study?B
A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four
27.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 6 refer to?C
A.the Disney princess culture
B.the idea that girls can't do some things
C.The idea that girls should be thin
D.The problem the Disney culture causes
28 What advice does Coyne give to parents?D
A.Actively work on the old princess culture.

17.阅读下面短文,按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的短文.
Florence Chadwick was born in California in 1918.She grew up on the beach and began competing as a swimmer at the age of six,when her uncle entered her in a race.For the next 19years,she continued as a competitive swimmer.
On July 4,1952,at the age of 34,Chadwick attempted to become the first woman to swim 21miles across the Catalina Channel,from a port on the California coast.That day the ocean was ice cold,the fog was so thick that she could hardly see the support boats that followed her,and sharks swam around her.Several times,her support crew used guns to drive away the sharks.While Americans watched on televisions,her mother and her trainer,who were in one of the support boats,encouraged her to keep going.However,after 15hours and 55minutes,with only a half mile to go,she felt that she couldn't go on,and begged to be taken out of the water.
Later,Chadwick told a reporter,"Look,I'm not excusing myself,but if I had seen land I know,I could have made it."The fog had made her unable to see her swimming goal,and it made her feel she was getting nowhere.Two months later,she tried again.Although the fog was still heavy,yet this time she made it with the goal rooted in her mind.She knew behind the fog was the land she pursued.

Goal and Success
An American woman swimmer Chadwick succeeded in crossing the Catalina Channel after failing in her first attempt.It was a goal in her mind that enabled her to make it.(高分句型一)(30词)
Chadwick failed in her first attempt because she couldn't see the"land"(goal) due to the"fog"(difficulty).But later,she succeeded because she had"the goal rooted in her mind"despite the heavy"fog".
From the story,we know we should understand the relation between the goal and the difficulty.The goal can encourage us to work hard to achieve success while the difficulty may prevent us from reaching our goal.(高分句型二)However,we can achieve our goal by overcoming any possible difficulties.
As students,we may meet with many difficulties in our study,but we can surely overcome them if we have a clear goal.(高分句型三)I wish all of us could break through the"fog"to reach the beautiful"land".(121词).
14.If 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 bell s attached to them.They dance to traditional folk music 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 it's 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 it's 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 nothing is done to change this trend,the tradition will die out within the next few decades.
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 not 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 of 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 leave it too late.
