• 2．Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez，chief of American Girl Scouts，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 late as 2008，the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males，claim the Ban Bossy campaigners． "To me，the reference is always in association with women，" says Helen Trim，director of Fresh Minds． "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．"
  
  （1）More evidence is provided to show "bossy" is more applied to females by

  ．
  A．the Oxford English Dictionary
  B．the Ban Bossy campaigners
  C．Helen Trim at Fresh Minds
  D．some experts in education
  （2）Trim's family still consider her bossy because

  ．
  A．she is expected to lead in her family
  B．she is the boss of her company
  C．she is a powerful and confident female
  D．her father considers her that way
  （3）The underlined part "under fire" most probably means

  ．
  A．definitely replaced
  B．strongly criticized
  C．improperly applied
  D．eagerly expected
  （4）How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against "bossy"？

  
  A．Objective．
  B．Angry．
  C．Doubtful．
  D．Optimistic．

• 3．Increasing numbers of airports，especially in Europe，are promoting a "silent airport"idea.It is to reduce noise pollution，such as airport-wide announcements，without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.
     International airports were once characterized by their high voices，competing gate announcements and so on.This is all changing.Angela Gittens，director general of Airports Council International（ACI），says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm，relaxed atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. "Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges（休閑區(qū)），and food and drink areas，"she says.
     In June，Helsinki Airport in Finland--a country where the tourism slogan（口號(hào)）is "silence，please"--became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.As part of its commitment to quieting things down，announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.
     Lost track of time in the shops？
     Too bad.
     Nobody's going to call you to your flight，as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional（尤其）emergency circumstances.
     Heikki Koski，vice president of Helsinki Airport，says that improved flight information display system and interactive kiosks（交互式自助服務(wù)機(jī)），together with advances in mobile technology，are changing the way airports communicate with passengers.At Munich airport，InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler's language of choice.Interactive signs，on the other hand，give directions at the touch of finger.Passengers can tap a "you are here"display to get directions to approximate walking time to their destinations.
     Of course，an airport will never be as silent as a temple.There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements along with boarding calls.But at silent airports，the latter can be restricted to specific gates，as has adopted in Helsinki.
  
  （1）What is Angela Gitten's opinion on the silent airport concept？

  
  A．It makes airport noise-free.
  B．It is intended for passengers' benefit.
  C．It has changed international airports' reputation.
  D．It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.
  （2）What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport？

  
  A．Their boarding time.
  B．Finland's tourism slogan.
  C．The shop's opening hours.
  D．The "you are here"display.
  （3）Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the text？

  
  A．To show its popularity.
  B．To introduce Infogate kiosks.
  C．To prove Heikki Koski's words.
  D．The "you are here"display.
