Face-book 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 is 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 dome 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.”

24.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

25. 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 farther considers her that way

26.The underlined part “under fire” most probably means

A. definitely replaced

B. strongly criticized

C. improperly applied

D. eagerly expected

27.How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against“bossy”?

A. Objective

B. Angry

C. Doubtful

D. Optimistic

Seventeen-year-old Randy Waldron. Jr.was shocked when be applied for his first credit card and was denied. He was even more shocked by the reason: He failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt.

Waldron's identity had been stolen by his father, who left when Randy way learning to walk. From 1982 to 1999, Randy Waldron.Sr, used his son’s Social Security number to obtain credit from various merchants and lenders, then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debts. He declared bankruptcy in his son’s name, which resulted in default judgments against the younger Waldron. It has taken Randy Jr. now a 24-year-old flight attendant. years to untangle(解决）the mess.

Waldron isn’t alone. Identity theft is this country’s fastest-growing crime-and. increasingly. ID thieves are targeting children. Their clean credit and absence of criminal histories make them ideal victims.

Linda Foley, co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego Estimates that at least 400.000 children had their identities stolen in 2005 more than double the number in 2003. Waldron’s case is typical: The resource center estimates that two-thirds of child ID thefts are committed by family members.

Some dishonest person use children’s names and Social Security number to ring up massive debts; others use children’s identities in place of their own when caught committing other crimes; still others sell identification information on the black market to illegal immigrants, fellow criminals or even terrorists. The theft brings its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma（创伤）. in part because the identity abuse often goes undetected for years.

Dealing with child identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult Laws in many states are insufficient to handle the crime’s complexity, and financial institutions are often less than helpful. Randy Waldron Ir. has worked tirelessly for eight years to straighten out his credit record and he co
