with a female president. A New York Times survey found nearly all Americans saying they would vote for president if she were qualified. However, accepting the theoretical notion of a female leader is quite different from voting an actual woman. In fact, there is still widespread distrust of a woman in the top position. This is partly due to the biased thinking that women are weak on national security, though they might be strong on education and health care. This damages their prospects as a presidential contender. There39。 s still an inherent nervousness on the part of voters putting a woman in as the ultimate decisionmaker. Control of the army and border security are sorts of traditionally male jobs, mented Amy Walter, an American campaign analyst. “That39。 s where I think voters consciously or unconsciously have difficulties with women candidates. Women have held the top job in other major Western countries. In 1979, Britain elected Margaret Thatcher prime minister. Last year, Germany made Angela Merkel its first female chancellor. In the US, no woman has succeeded in being nominated as a presidential candidate. One woman did make the attempt: Elizabeth Dole. In 1999, she tried to get the Republican Party nomination. But Dole could only raise $ 5 million for her bid pared with the $ 56 million Gee W. Bush raised. So Barriers lie ahead for Hillary if she wants to make history by being the first female US president. With the Iraqi war underway, she39。 ll find it even harder. I don39。 t feel that our society is ready for a woman president. The enemy we face does not respect females the same way we have e to see them as equals. If we were not in this war, I would support a woman president2,” said Chris Dildy, a puter engineering student. 词汇： Bias v. amp。 n. (有 ) 偏见 analyst n. 分析工作者 Chancellor n.

In fact, there is still widespread distrust of a woman in the top ，接受女总统作为一个理论概念跟选举女总统是两回事。 事实上，人们仍然普遍不信任女人能任领袖的。 4.

Football players who miss a few kicks and let their belly hanging out a little too much are likely to be attacked by rabid fans or even the president of a country1. The latest football star to draw the attention of the fat police is Barcelona39。 s Ronaldinho,26. Last Friday, a Spanish sports daily published two photos of the Brazilian star without his shirt. One was taken in November 2020。 the other was taken this month. In the most recent one， the star39。 s waistline seems to have a little extra padding2. Another Spanish sports daily published similar beforeandaider photos and argued that the star has lost his explosiveness and velocity and is“worn out. The cause, according to the news paper, is his poor physical fitness. However, the player39。 s coach, Frank Rijkaard, insists that he39。 s satisfied with Ronaldinho39。 s form and fitness. And after Barcelona39。 s victory over Athletic Bibao on Sunday, Ronaldinho challenged photographers to take pictures of him when he took off his shirt. I don39。 t have anything to hide, he said. Fellow Brazilian Ronaldo, 30, of Real Madrid, faced similar criticism before the 2020 World Cup. But the criticism didn39。 t e from a bunch of sports reporters: It came from the president of Brazil.。
