• 1、Under the Taliban's strict rule in Afghanistan (阿富汗), women face severe limits. They cannot work in most jobs and are not allowed in public without a male guardian (监护人). To survive, many families use an old tradition called bacha posh, which means "dressed like a boy." Since the Taliban returned in 2021, this practice has become more common. With so many people struggling to buy food, families without sons often dress a daughter as a boy so she can work and support them.

    These girls, sometimes very young, wear boys' clothes and act as males. This allows them to earn money, go to shops, and act as guardians for their mothers and sisters. By doing this, they help their families avoid trouble with the Taliban's morality police. For a while, these girls enjoy freedom that other Afghan girls do not have. They can play outside, talk to boys, and move freely in society.

    However, this freedom is temporary and dangerous. When the girls grow older and their bodies change, they can no longer hide their gender. They are forced to return to life as women, which causes deep emotional pain. Many feel confused and depressed because they cannot adjust to the strict rules for women after living as boys. Also, while pretending to be boys, they still face risks like hard labor and abuse.

    Experts say that bacha posh is not a real choice but a desperate way to survive. The Taliban treats women as less important than men, yet punishes those who try to escape these rules. Afghanistan women must choose between poverty, staying hidden at home, or risking their safety by pretending to be boys — a heartbreaking reality that reflects the impossible situation faced by countless families across the country.

    A、Pretending to be boys brings short-lived freedom as well as safety risks. B、Bacha posh girls face more danger than other girls. C、Bacha posh girls can easily adapt to the lives as women. D、Stopping pretending to be boys ends all suffering.
    (4)、What is the main idea of the text?
    A、Afghan traditional clothing has a long and rich history. B、Afghan girls are forced to become boys to feed their families. C、Dressing as boys brings certain benefits to girls in modern society. D、Afghan families pass down clothing traditions from mother to daughter.

  • 20、阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。

    When I was seven years old I saw my mother making doll clothes. She told me that they were for the poor people, so I never gave it another thought. Come Christmas morning when I opened my present, there were those beautiful doll clothes. My mother just smiled and said, "They are for the poor people. We're poor."

    When I was nine, my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick (弹簧高跷). But my mother told me that we simply couldn't afford one. A few days before Christmas, my parents and I went shopping. While my mother and I were paying the money, my dad came with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box. After we arrived back at home my dad put the box in the barn (谷仓). While my parents were away, I snuck out to the barn to find the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom (扫帚). And so Christmas morning was disappointing. After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad came back from the barn with a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn't believe it, how they were able to get the money for it and how they tricked me with the broom. My parents probably laugh quietly when they played the trick on me and I wonder if they were watching me from the window as I went out to the barn secretly for my Christmas present.

    Although we didn't have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all, much love. We had love and we had joy.
