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.
What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?
选项
A、Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.
B、How Michelle should behave as a public figure.
C、How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.
D、What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干中的African—Americans write about in their blogs,答案可定位在末段第二句,此句意为“许多非洲裔美国人的博客里都曾写到对米歇尔的期待,写到她带进白宫的将是对整个世界的宣言,宣告黑人女性同样可以支持丈夫,同样可以肩负一个黑人家庭的重任。”由此可以看出许多美国黑人都期望她能向世人展示作为优秀的妻子和母亲的黑人女性的形象,故D项为正确答案。
