　　The Barbie doll first appeared at the toy fair in New York in 1959．Its creator was Ruth Handler, an American businesswoman．She and her husband Elliott along with Harold Matt Matson started the toy company Mattel．She based the design of the new doll on a German doll named Bild Lilli and named her after their daughter Barbara．

　　The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail(马尾辫)．She looked very grown-up．But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong．

　　Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars．Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than 27,000 dollars．

　　Barbie dolls have represented 50 different nationalities and are sold in 150 countries．Mattel says 90％ of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll．It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about 12．

　　Barbie also faced her share of critics．A well-known example was when women's education groups objected to a talking Barbie doll that declared, among other things,“Math class is tough!”Mattel agreed to change it．Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls．And a lawmaker in the American state of West Virginia would like to do the same．Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty．

　　Some people say Barbie is an unhealthy role model for young girls．Robin Gerber disagrees．She wrote a book about Barbie．She points out dolls like scientist Barbie and race car driver Barbie．She says people who criticize Barbie should tell girls the story of the businesswoman who created her．She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives．

　　There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown．They probably came about just to give children something to do．

　　In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another．In societies where social roles are strictly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers．This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．

　　What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same．The changes have been mostly in terms of skill, mechanics, and technology．It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their insistence to the present that is amazing．In Egypt, the US, China,Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared．Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys reflect their surroundings．Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles．

　　Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been affected by technological quick development that characterize inventions for adult use．The progress from the wheel to the ox-cart to the automobile is a direct line of ahievement．The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by a baby today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness．Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of times and subject to the limtations of available materials．

(1)

The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that _________．
[　　]
A．	their social roles are strictly determined
B．	most boys would like to follow their fathers’ professions
C．	boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers
D．	they like challenging activities

(2)

Which of the following is the author’s view on the historical development of toys?
[　　]
A．	The making skills in toys has remained essentially unchanged．
B．	Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries．
C．	The toy industry has witnessed great improvement in technology in recent years．
D．	Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child’s character．

(3)

Regarded as a kind of art form, toys _________．
[　　]
A．	follow a direct line of achievement
B．	also appeal greatly to adults
C．	are not characterized by technological progress
D．	reflect the pace of social progress

(4)

The author uses the example of a rattle to show that _________．
[　　]
A．	in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materials
B．	even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
C．	it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making
D．	even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time

　　Holiday is finally here！It’s time to get into the spirit of the happy season．Here are two activities you can try with your friends and classmates．

　　Jailbreak(越狱)

　　Some students from Lancaster University in the UK are going to have their annual Jailbreak Competition．It is organized by the university’s division of Students in Free Enterprise, a non-profit organization, run by students, which helps to fund sustainable projects in developing countries．

　　How to play

　　Traveling in pairs, participants have 36 hours to journey as far as possible, without spending any money．Before setting off, they are given posters and T-shirts to raise as much money as possible．When they reach their destination, students are required to take a photo and buy a newspaper to prove that they were there．Prizes are awarded for most money raised and furthest distance traveled．

　　How to play

　　Everyone playing the game starts as “human” with the exception of one：the original zombie．

　　If a player is touched by the zombie, he or she then becomes a zombie and is required to “tag”(感染)at least one human every 48 hours to stay in the game．

　　If a human player manages to “stun”(打晕)a zombie with a toy gun or a pair of rolled up socks, they are safe for the time being．The “stunned” zombie is not allowed to tag a human for a predetermined length of time．The game can last days, weeks or even all semester．If less than a certain number of humans survive the attack, the zombies win．
