M: Professor Barlow, why was Eleanor Roosevelt such an important woman in US history?
W: Well, she was a very unusual woman. In her times, she did things that most women didn’t do.
M: Like what, for example?
W: Well, she worked in politics. When her husband was governor of New York, he became sick and he couldn’t walk. So Eleanor did some of his work.
M: She traveled a lot for him, didn’t she?
W: Yes, she traveled around New York and made political speeches for her husband. And she really enjoyed it.
M: And what did people in New York think of her then?
W: They loved her! So then, in 1933, when FDR became president of the US, Eleanor was already popular. She became a new kind of first lady.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, most first ladies wouldn’t very independent. But Eleanor wanted to be different. She had her own ideas, and she wanted to speak out about them.
M: What kind of ideas? Can you give me an example?
W: Sure. Eleanor wanted every person to go to school and have a good job. She especially wanted to help women, children, and the poor people. And she wanted peace in the world. So she spoke out her ideas. She wrote in newspapers: she spoke on the radio: and she travelled all over the world.
M: I know people everywhere respected her.
W: Yes, she was so strong and independent, and she really wanted to help people. But some people didn’t like her.
M: Really?
W: Look, Eleanor was not a traditional woman. Some people said she was too strong and independent. They even said she was ugly.
M: Really?! How did Eleanor feel when she heard these things?
W: Well, Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong woman. So she just laughed.
M: Professor Barlow, there are so many books about Eleanor Roosevelt. Why did you want to write one, too?
W: Well, I felt that most writers—especially men—didn’t really understand Eleanor’s life. I wanted to give a woman’s view.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, for example, everybody knows that FDR was not a good husband. So, many people said that Eleanor was unhappy all her life.
M: And what do you think?
W: I think that’s not true. I mean, of course Eleanor was unhappy for a while. Her husband didn’t love her anymore. And she was angry. For two years, she couldn’t eat or sleep well. But as time passed, Eleanor’s feeling changed. She stopped feeling angry.
M: Really?
W: Yes, Eleanor saw that a good marriage wasn’t the only way for her to be happy. She remembered the important lessons she learned from her teacher, Marie Souvestre. And she decided to have an independent life.
M: Professor Barlow, thank you for talking with me today.
W: My pleasure.

A、Because she was not a conventional woman.
B、Because she wanted to help people.
C、Because she wanted peace in the world.
D、Because she has a good job.
答案
A
解析
对话中女士提到,Eleanor非常独立,想帮助人们,但有些人不喜欢她,原因是她不是一个传统女性,有人说她太强悍独立,甚至有人说她丑。A项not a conventional woman与原文的not a traditional woman同义,为答案。B“她想帮助别人”、C“她希望世界和平”和D“她有一份好工作”都与问题无关。
