Passage 3.

Barbie Dolls and Self Image

There is a noticeable comparison 1) the poem “The Mirror” By Sylvia Plath & the article “Barbie” that appeared in the Newsday Tuesday November 18, 1997. The comparison is about how people look, and how society could reflect how you may feel about your looks.

Calamity is mans true touchstone.

患难是人的试金石。In the poem “The Mirror”, it tells about a lady who dislikes the way she looks. She thinks of herself as being ugly. In the article，it tells how Mattel (the makers of Barbie) want to change the looks & features of Barbie.

The reason for wanting to change the looks is because the makers of Barbie made Barbie too pretty, compared to normal people. Now being pretty is not a bad thing. 2) for little girls growing up they may feel like they want to look like Barbie. Barbie is very skinny and has a great face. 3) little girls may stop eating or doing other things, so they could look like Barbie. 4) it wont happen, Barbie is a doll. People are real，not Barbie dolls.

In the poem it shows how the lady wants to be pretty. 5) the lady takes short cuts to make her self look better to her self. Such as being in a candlelit room. 6) when the lady is in a regular lit room，she becomes ugly to her self again.

The reason Mattel is changing the appearance of Barbie is because little girls impact on the way society looks upon them. 7) this could hurt someones self esteem, and could damage the way someone looks upon oneself. In the poem the girl tries to make her prettier, by creating artificial prettiness. 8) in the end the mirror never lies. The poem & the article compare about how the way people look and feel, and how society has a role on their lives.

答案与解析：

1.答案〖〗between解析〖〗空格前的comparison 意为就两个或多个项目是否相同、相似、相等而进行考察的过程。空格后面我们又看到了两个不同事物的出现，毋庸置疑，这里一定需要一个介词与comparison相搭配，共同表达两者之间的比较。

2.答案〖〗But解析〖〗这里but起到连接上下文的作用，主要用于引领下面的内容。

3.答案〖〗So解析〖〗由于芭比娃娃非常美丽，受到大家的宠爱，所以小孩子要效仿她的样子，这里用表顺序承接的连词so“因而，所以”。

4.答案〖〗But解析〖〗此处表示转折，这是对孩子们不吃饭而去模仿芭比娃娃的模样的做法的否定。空格后面还清晰地给出了理由，即芭比是个娃娃，言外之意她可以变成任意样子，而我们是真正的人，因此我们不能象娃娃一样。

5.答案〖〗So解析〖〗在介绍了芭比娃娃这一事件之后，紧接着向我们展示了文章开头诗歌中提到的那位女士，她为了某个目的而实施了行动，这里空格处需要的是一个承上启下表示原因的单词，我们选用so，“因此”，如：He was sick, so they were quiet.他病了，所以他们很安静。

6.答案〖〗But解析〖〗为配合句子前后意思的变化，此处用一个表转折的词来填充。本段的主要意思是，女士为了让自己看上去美丽，特意剪短了头发，并在有烛光的屋子里呆着，但是，当她出现在普通的地方时就又变得很丑了。

7.Who keeps company with the wolf will learn to howl.

近墨者黑。答案〖〗And解析〖〗为实现语气和意思的连贯，这里用一个表并列的连词。但此处and表示“和，并且”的意思并不突出，它主要起到使文章中句与句之间紧密相连的作用。
