Women still have an uneasy relationship with power and the traits necessary to be a leader. There is this internalized fear that if we are really powerful, we are going to be considered heartless or unpleasantly aggressive or forceful. We are still working at trying to overcome the fear that power and womanliness are mutually exclusive.
In my case, I think I may have had an easier time dealing with this fear because my first taste of leadership came in a situation in which I was a blissfully (幸福地) ignorant outsider. It was in college, when I became president of the Cambridge Union debating society. Since I had grown up in Greece, I had never heard of the Cambridge Union or the Oxford Union and didn’t know about their place in English culture, so I wasn’t weighed down with the kinds of overwhelming notions that may have stopped British girls from even thinking about trying for such a position.
The same thing happened when my first book, The Female Woman, came out. I was 23 and my U.S. publisher, Random House, flew me from London to New York. They handed me my schedule, and my first interview was with Barbara Walters on the Today show. This didn’t confuse and shock me since I had no idea who Barbara Walters was, and had never heard of the Today show. So I was less nervous than if I had been on a local show in Athens that my family and classmates could have watched.
In this way, it was a blessing that I started my career outside my home environment. It had its own problems in that I was laughed at for my accent and was demeaned (贬低) as someone who spoke in a funny way. But it also taught me that it is easier to overcome people’s judgments than to overcome our own self-judgment, the fear we internalize.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, "If you want to change the world, who do you begin with, yourself or others?" I believe if we begin with ourselves and do the things that we need to do and become the best person we can be, we have a much better chance of changing the world for the better. [br] What is said about Barbara Walters?
选项
A、She was the interviewer on the Today show.
B、She was a famous women leader in the U.S.
C、She was a clerk working for Random House.
D、She was the most faithful fan of the author.
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的Barbara Waiters定位到第3段第3句。该句提到作者去美国参加“今日秀”节目,并接受了Barbara Waiters的采访,可推断Barbara Waiters 是主持“今日秀”节目的主持人,本题应选A。第3段提到Barbara Waiters,该段主要是讲作者接受访问,在不知晓访谈主持人的身份和节目的知名度的情况下表现轻松自如的这一经历。了解了大致内容,其他选项均可轻松排除。
