Obama’s Speech on American Womenpeaks and valleys 高潮和低谷upward 向上的daring 大胆的indomitable不屈不挠的ridicule 嘲笑, 奚落assumption 臆断crack 裂缝reflect on 思考statistics 统计数据victim 受害人domestic 家庭的bend 弯曲1). In Obama’s opinion, what does the story of America look like?(=The story of America is one of hope and progress, of an upward journey.)2). What is the reality of American women’s life at present?(=It is a reality marked by unfairness, by hardship for too many women.)3). What is the fundamental truth reflected by the facts and figures?(=The fundamental truth is that full gender equality has not yet been achieved.)4). Can you mention some famous women in Chinese history?(=Open-ended.)5). What is the reality of Chinese women’s life at present?(=Open-ended.)The story of America’s women, lik e the story of America itself, has had its peaks and valleys. But as one of our great American educators once said, if you drew a line through all the valleys and all the peaks, that line would be drawn with an upward curve. That upward curve –- what we call progress –- didn’t happen by accident.It came about because of daring, indomitable women. Women like Abigail Adams, who brought on the ridicule of her husband John by advising him to “remember the ladies” in our founding documents. Women like the pioneers and settlers who, in the words of one, said, “I thought where he could go, I could go.”Women like Dorothy Height and Sylvia Mendez and Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem and Sandra Day O’Connor and Madeline Albright, upending assumptions and changing laws and tearing down barriers. Women like Hillary Rodham Clinton, who, throughout her career, has put millions of cracks in America’s glass ceiling. It’s because of them –- and so many others, many who aren’t recorded in the history books –- that the story of America is, ultimately, one of hope and one of progress, of an upward journey.But even as we reflect on the hope of our history, we must also face squarely the reality of the present -– a reality marked by unfairness, marked by hardship for too many women in America. The statistics of inequality are all too familiar to us -- how women just earn 77 cents for every dollar men make; how one in four women is the victim of domestic violence at some point in her life; how women are more than half the population, but make up only 17 percent of the seats in Congress, and less than 3 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs.These, and any number of other facts and figures, reflect the fundamental truth that in 2010, full gender equality has not yet been achieved; that the task of perfecting America goes on; and that all of us, men and women, have a part to play in bending the arc in America’s story upward in the 21st century.Ⅲ. Barbie and Ken Dollsⅰ. A Brief IntroductionBarbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. Ken (also known as Ken Carson) is a Mattel toy doll introduced in 1961 as the fictional boyfriend of toy doll Barbie. Similar to his female counterpart, Ken had a fashionable line of clothing and accessories. Barbie was one of the first toys to have a marketing strategy based extensively on television advertising, which has been copied widely by other toys. It is estimated that over a billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in over 150 countries.ⅱ. Celebration of Barbie’s 50th BirthdayBarbie, the blond bombshell with the minuscule waist and long plastic legs, turned 50 onMonday. Barbie fans around the world celebrated their idol's birthday with various activities. The city of Hamburg in northern Germany marked Barbie's big day in style. The birthday cake came in Barbie's favorite color, and a Barbie doll looking like German chancellor Angela Merkel was unveiled at the event.In Tokyo, Mattel Inc, the world's No. 1 toy company and maker of Barbie, threw a birthday bash for the 50-year-old icon as part of the company's extensive worldwide campaign to promote Barbie.Candles were lit on Barbie's birthday cake and Japanese girls dressed up in Barbie-inspired outfits formed another highlight of the celebrations.The famed F.A.O. Schwartz toy store in Manhattan also marked Barbie's 50th birthday."Growing up she was anything you wanted to be. Growing up, that was so neat to see her in so many different things. She wasn't just pretty. She is so smart that it makes me think I can do anything too, just like Barbie did.""I just think she's fun. She's a good toy for kids. There are so many different kinds of Barbies. Every type of girl you were, you could always find the Barbie that matched you."Barbie hit toy stores in 1959 as a miniature teenage fashion model, wedged into a zebra-striped bathing suit, with her strawberry blond hair tied up in a pony tail and her eyes painted with sapphire blue shadow.Over the years, Barbie has tried to ditch the blond model stereotype. She's been reinvented as a modern career woman, and has held more than 75 jobs in addition to being an Olympic athlete, an astronaut and a U.S. presidential candidate.ⅲ. A Song—Barbie GirlHi?

Wiffle-ballWiffle-ball is a variation of the sport of baseball designed for indoor or outdoor play in confined areas. The game is played using a perforated, light-weight, rubbery plastic ball and a long, plastic bat. The Wiffle ball was invented by David N. Mullany of Fairfield, Connecticut in 1953 when he designed a ball that curved easily for his 12-year old son.Ⅴ. Hybrid electric vehicleA hybrid vehicle combines a conventional propulsion system with a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) to achieve better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle. Ferdinand Porsche in 1900 developed the first hybrid automobile in the world. The hybrid-electric vehicle did not become widely available until the release of the Toyota Prius in Japan in 1997, followed by the Honda Insight in 1999. While initially perceived as unnecessary due to the low cost of gasoline, worldwide increases in the price of petroleum caused many automakers to release hybrids in the late 2000s; they are now perceived as a core segment of the automotive market of the future.Global ReadingⅡ.
