22、A YOUNG girl raises her hand in class to answer the teacher’s question. She proudly gives the correct answer when her classmates start to giggle . Among them, she hears somebody call her a “know-it-all” and sees another roll his eyes. She doesn’t dare to speak up again because confident women are often called“ “bossy”.

Despite decades of advances, it seems that women continue to face prejudice when it comes to holding a position of power.

Laila Farah, an associate professor at DePaul University in Chicago in the US, said the reason for this stereotype lies in history.

“This is an old phenomenon which reflects the fact that many people think females don’t have the same brain capability compared to the male brain,” Farah said.

What’s more, the prejudice is so deep in our society that it has become hard to ignore. “Gender bias is found in the media, schools, the workplace-basically everywhere,” Farah said. “It is learned in infancy and goes from toys chosen to assuming females aren’t good at math.”

Another reason for confident women being called bossy is that “some people aren’t used to women being confident enough to speak their minds”, said high school junior Jessica Bella from Illinois. Embarrassing women by calling them “bossy” has caused some of them to tone down their confidence.

In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute, a program that helps girls develop strong leadership skills, many girls said the biggest thing holding them back from participating in class was being judged.

“Sometimes, I know I have the right answer in class, but I don’t raise my hand because I don’t want to be annoying, ” said high school junior Emily Grigg from Illinois.

Still, some women have bravely stood up against this stereotype.

“If women in leadership positions are considered to be bossy, then I like to do all I can to prove that wrong. We all have an equal opportunity to present our knowledge no matter how that may come across, ”said Christina Jakubas, an English teacher from Illinois.

Maybe what we need to do is turn being bossy into something empowering for women. After all, bossy people get the job done.

【1】Why does the author write about the experience of a girl raising her hand in class?

A．prove that confident women tend to be bossy

B．explain why bossy women are unpopular in groups

C．explore what stops women from being themselves

D．show how women should fight against gender bias

【2】What do the underlined words ”this stereotype“ in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Females failing to do as well as males in math.

B．Gender bias becoming hard to ignore in society.

C．Women who hold a position of power facing prejudice.

D．Females not having the same brain capabilities as males.

【3】Which of the following would the author probably agree with according to the article?

A．Confident women tend to possess strong leadership skills.

B．Bossy women usually get their jobs done better than men.

C．Females in leadership positions should try to avoid being bossy,

D．Females should ignore negative comments and bravely speak their minds

【4】In which part of the magazine can we read the passage?

A．Health

B．Society

C．Politics

D．Entertainment

23、Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS to1d them they could drive from the mainland to an island，failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between．

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island，they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud．However，being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon，they decided to drive on，managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud．To make matters worse，the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle．Just four hours later the car was trapped m two metres of water —to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries．

Mr·Tomonari said，“It has rained every day on our six day holiday．Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny．”
