问题 A recent US best seller declared that men and women are so difierent that we must be from different planets!Men,it was said,can’t talk about their feelings.Thus,the author suggested that when a man is upset,a woman should just go shopping.
  Well,speaking for the one man I know best,I can say that I feel insulted,underestimated andstereotyped by such misleading generalizations.Not only do I believe the author’s premise to befalse but I believe it contributes to the problem by perpetuating a dysfunctional myth.In my experience,men,like women,can talk about their feelings if they are given the words to do so.
This myth that men are insensitive is also reinforced through the socialization process.Boys are not supposed to cry,and if they do,they are denigrated with labels,such as sissy,pansy,or much worse,all of which are designed to shame them into acting“manly”.In the man’s wodd one 0f the things boys learn is that the expression of any so-called feminine feelings will quickly bring ridicule,rejection and other forms of social disapproval.
    Boys are taught to play with injuries and are admired when they endure pain.  Men have long been taught to blindly obey in areas as law enforcement,the military and even in some corporations.A man who is trained to kill animals for trophies,to fight bulls for entertainment and t0 kill other humans in battle is a man who has been conditioned to alienate himself from his feelings.  And now it seems that women are becoming more like men,rather than vice versa     Research shows that women,in general,are by nature more empathetic sensitive and attuned to their own and others’feelings.  But I have known some men who are more emotioally sensitive than some women.The preliminary scores on EQ tests also show that there is only a small difference in the composite EQ score From personal experience,I’ve found it easy to teach men to identify and express their feelings.And finally,I am living proof that not all men are from Mars 1
The word“stereotyped”in paragraph 2 means__________.

选项 A、characterized by one model
B、made dull
C、given a personality
D、a kind of sound effect

答案A

解析 第二段第一句后半部分意思是:由于这种错误的概括,我觉得受到侮辱、被小看,并且觉得这种概括是人们脑子中的成见造成的。因此,stereotyped意为“模式化的,固定的”。
