Unit 1 Women of achievement
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2017·成都高三二诊)Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna
Maria Chavez,chief of Girl Scouts of the USA,are leading a campaign to discourage
the use of the word “bossy”.Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?
The campaign claims that terms like “bossy” are improperly applied to females,
preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future “leaders”.From its first
application,the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men.It
first appeared in 1882,according to the Oxford English Dictionary,mentioning “a
lady manager who was extremely bossy”.As later as 2008,the word appeared in reference
to females four times more often than males,claim the Ban Bossy campaigners.“To
men,the reference is always in association with women,”says Helen Trim,director
of FreshMinds.“I have three brothers and my family still call me ‘bossy’ today.”
Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way,
says Trim,but nobody would ever call him so.
Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed,rather than banned.
“But the thing with ‘bossy’ is that there's an infantile (幼稚的) element to it,”
says Sara Mills,professor at Sheffield University.“You think of ‘bossy’ as being
like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim.”
It's not just “bossy” under fire.“Pushy” is another target.The implication
is that women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident,Mills suggests,
which some women are willing to listen to and accept.Trim points out that many modern
female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled “bossy”.And
she rarely,if ever,hears the word used within her company.But she says that the
damage may be done much earlier in a woman's life.“It does come about from those
early teenage years,” she says.“I think it's impossible to ban a word,but if people
are replacing it with words like ‘confidence’ or ‘assertiveness’,we would all
be in a much better place.”
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了 Facebook 的首席运营官谢丽尔·桑德伯格和美国女童子军
首席执行长安娜·玛利亚·查韦斯二人最新发起的Ban Bossy 运动不鼓励使用“专横”这个
词描述女性,旨在鼓励培养女性的领导力。

(2017·衡水中学高三一调)People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise
of a fun,free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up loads
of personal information.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening.Even if they know what the
company is up to,they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because
只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。

people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem,however,is that the company keeps changing the rules.That
was the great thing about Facebook.You could create your own little private
network.Last year,the company changed its privacy rules so that many things:your
city,your photos,your friends' names,were set by default (默认) to be shared with
everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vicepresident Elliot Schrage,the company is simply
making changes to improve its service,and if people don't share information,they
have a “less satisfying experience”.
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.In
original business model,which involved selling ads and putting them.At the side
of the pages totally, who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with
their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.In
April,Senator Charles Sehumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.He
also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites.
“I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what
the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,”
Sehrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy,it's
only the beginning,which is why I'm considering canceling my account.Facebook is
a handy site,but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people
I don't know.That's too high a price to pay.
