The Barbie Dolls
In the mid 1940’s, the young ambitious Ruth and Elliot Handler, owned a company that made wooden pictures frames. It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler joined with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created. This company would be named Mattel, MATT for Mattson, and EL for Elliot.
In the mid 1950’s, while visiting Switzerland, Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilli doll. Lilli was a shapely, pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. She was originally fashioned after a famous cartoon character in the West German Newsletter, Build.
Lilli is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. With the help of her technicians and engineers at Mattel, Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbie’s wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. This would be a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limbed, shapely, beautiful, and only 11. 5 inches tall. Ruth and Elliot would name their new fashion doll after their own daughter, Barbie.
In 1959, the Barbie doll would make her way to the New York Toy Show and receive a cool reception from the toy buyers.
Barbie has undergone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with current trends in hairstyles, makeup and clothing. She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her introduction to the toy market.
Barbie has a universal appeal and collectors both young and old enjoy time spent and memories made with their dolls.
Which of the following statements is NOT true of the Barbie doll?
选项
A、She does not attract old people.
B、She has undergone many changes over the years.
C、She is 11. 5 inches tall.
D、She has managed to keep up with fashion.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据最后一句话:Barbie has a universal appeal and collectors both young and old enjoy time spent and memories made with their dolls.可知无论老幼都喜欢芭比娃娃, 因此A选项内容不正确。B、C、D的依据从倒数第二段中可以找到。B、D选项和Barbie has undergone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with current trends in hairstyles, makeup and clothing.She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her introduction to the toy market(芭比随着时间的变迁经历了许多变化并能在发型、化妆和服装方面与时代潮流并进。她时自从她进入玩具市场之后服装历史变迁的折射)中的内容一致。C选项和第三段中的She would be long limbed, shapely, beautiful, and only 11.5 inches tall(她双腿修长、体形匀称、漂亮, 而且仅仅只有11.5英寸高)内容一致。
