A Marked Shift in Toy Boxes

Sometimes the smallest of things have the biggest of impacts. Last week Lego showed its first ever wheelchair-using mini-figure at a toy fair in Germany. For an inch-tall plastic boy, he's been making big waves, inspiring global press coverage and online celebrations from Lego fans, parents and disability groups.

“But he’s just a little guy，” some may say, “a plastic guy out for a wheel in the park with his dog and a bunch of other mini-figures. What's the big deal?”

【1】 His birth in the toy box marks a significant shift within children’s industries. There are 150 million children with disabilities worldwide, yet until now they have scarcely ever seen themselves positively reflected in the media and toys they consume.

In her recently published book Disability and Popular Culture , Australian academic Katie Ellis writes: “Toys mirror the values of the society that produce them... ” 【2】 Whether intentionally or not, it has sent out a powerful message of inclusion.

The toys, TV，films, games, apps and books that entertain and educate our children barely feature children with any kind of impairment or difference. When did you last see disability represented positively in a children's film, cartoon, or computer game? Have you ever seen a set of emojis that reflect the disabled experience? Then, how could disabled children gain positive self-esteem when the culture around them appears to place no value on their existence? 【3】 There is a danger that these children will feel like permanent outsider in the world.

【4】 However, it seems no one knows quite how to fix it. We dance delicately around disability, scared to offend or get it wrong, so we don't do it. This exclusion is causing damage to millions of children, yet the answer is quite simple. Let’s hope that one day, positive representations of disability are included so seamlessly across children’s industries that they cease to be noteworthy at all.

A. If Lego is mirroring, it’s reflecting a better world.

B. Lego is behind disabled kids and they are part of the cultural mainstream.

C. Everyone knows there’s something wrong with how we represent disabled people.

D. Has Lego been prepared for the excitement its wheelchair-using boy would cause?

E. Their hopes, dreams, imaginations and experience are ignored.

F. The message behind Lego’s wheelchair boy is so much larger than his tiny stature.

【答案】

【1】F

【2】A

【3】E

【4】C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。上周，乐高在德国的一个玩具博览会上展示了它有史以来第一个使用轮椅的迷你人偶。对于一个一英寸高的塑料男孩来说，他已经引起了巨大的轰动，激发了全球媒体的报道以及乐高粉丝、家长和残疾人组织的在线庆祝活动。同时也引起了人们对于残疾人的方式的深思，作者希望有一天，残疾的积极表现能够在儿童行业中如此无缝地体现出来，以至于它们没有引人注目。

【1】根据下文His birth in the toy box marks a significant shift within children’s industries.（他在玩具盒里的诞生，标志着儿童产业的重大转变。）可知乐高轮椅男孩背后的信息远远大于他小小的身材。故选F。

【2】根据上文Toys mirror the values of the society that produce them...（玩具反映了生产它们的社会的价值观。）中mirror对应到A选项中的mirroring，可知如果说乐高是一面镜子，那么它反映的是一个更美好的世界。故选A。

【3】根据下文There is a danger that these children will feel like permanent outsider in the world.（有一种危险是，这些孩子会觉得自己永远是这个世界的局外人。）可知上文应是孩子们的希望、梦想、想象力和经历被忽视时，他们会觉得自己是世界的局外人。故选E。

【4】根据下文However, it seems no one knows quite how to fix it.（然而，似乎没有人知道如何解决这个问题。）可推测上文是指每个人都知道我们代表残疾人的方式有问题，但是没有人知道如何去解决。故选C。

【题目】 At 18, you say goodbye to your childhood and become an adult. You are legally allowed to do a lot of things from voting to driving a car. 【1】

On March 10, California lawmakers voted to change the legal age for buying cigarettes from 18 to 21. It meant that the US state in which the most people live was about to become the second after Hawaii to ban teenagers from smoking. 【2】 Up to now, over 100 cities in the US, including New York and San Francisco, have passed similar laws of their own.

“We can save billions of dollars in direct health care costs and, most importantly, save lives,” senator Ed Hernandez, who wrote the bill, told the Associated Press.

【3】 Last year the Institute of Medicine(IOM) in the US predicted that if the legal age were raised to 21, by the time today’s teenagers became adults, the smoking rate would be cut by 12 percent. 【4】For example, Vending machines (自动售货机) would go away and less than 10 percent of stores would sell cigarettes illegally to teenagers.

【5】 An article in USA Today pointed out that taking in nicotine(尼古丁) during your teenage years is likely to badly affect brain function and development. Teenagers get addicted to smoking more easily than adults because the parts of the brain that control most decision making and self-control are still developing. As for the health effects, the risks of smoking-related illness rise with the number of years a person smokes.

A. There is evidence that supports Hernandez's words.

B. There are many reasons to cut youth smoking further.

C. The law will take effect 90 days after the governor signs it.

D. Meanwhile, other ways of getting cigarettes would disappear.

E. Some people argue that 18-year-olds are mostly able to make adult decisions.

F. Many countries in the world, including China, have set the legal smoking at 18.

G. But in some parts of the US, there’s still one thing an 18-year-old can’t do—smoke.
