Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’ s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’ t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’ t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married , alcoholic(酗酒的)mothers.
These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself.
It won’ t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.
Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’ d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise(沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’ s been around for far too long.
Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
选项
A、She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.
B、She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.
C、She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.
D、She serves as a role model for African women.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干中的fascination将本题出处定位到首段第三句。由该句中的butfor me as an African—American woman可知,作者尤其对米歇尔·奥巴马能为非裔美国妇女的自己做什么而着迷。分析接下来的两句,解释了作者之所以这么着迷的原因:米歇尔·奥巴马将让人们第一次有机会靠近和接触他们很少见到的这种非裔美国女性,即她将向世界展现出非裔美国妇女的一种新形象,故B项为正确答案。
