217989. （2023•西安中学•高二上二月）     In 1959，Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced "Barbie" to the world.With her mature figure，Barbie was one of the first "grown-up" dolls to hit the retail market.
    Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls' toy boxes.She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices.Handler made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
    "My own philosophy of Barbie，" Handler wrote in her autobiography，"was that through the doll，the little girl could be anything she wanted to be.Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices."
    There's even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald （光头的） Barbie to families affected by cancer. "Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous，" Michelle，a cancer survivor's mother said， "We would play with that Barbie together and I'd heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo （化疗），or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ' It's time to be beautiful again.' "
    Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo.Sometimee felt sick and needed to sleep，but would feel much better after a rest.Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family.That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll—she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.

213267. （2024•西安八十五中•高一下期中）     A father who wants to help make a city one of the most autism （孤独症）-friendly places in the UK is creating a network of signs to help non-verbal （非言语的） children communicate in public spaces.
    Dan Harris，from Peterborough，whose son Joshie is autistic，has gained funding for 100 picture boards in the city.They help people communicate through images.He said， "We no longer want autism to be hidden."The communication boards include symbols representing common words and phrases that allow non-verbal people to communicate how they are feeling and what they want to do.
    The idea for the picture boards came from Mr Harris' son，Joshie，who points to pictures on an electronic tablet （平板电脑） to communicate.Mr Harris said， "He is a very clever little boy，but because he is non-verbal，he has to communicate using different methods.This communication board truly gives him a voice."
    Mr Harris got funding for the first communication board last year.Now government money has been secured through Peterborough City Council to create a network across the city and Mr Harris would like it to go further. "This is a proof of concept.There are about 3，000 autistic people in Peterborough and it's important that the needs of that community are met." He said he wanted to see the boards introduced across Britain and in other countries.The boards cost ￡6，000 and are funded through a combination （结合） of charity donations and local government funding.
    Mr Harris，who is also the founder of the charity Neurodiversity in Business，which works to raise more awareness，said， "This board is extremely important because it doesn't just help non-verbal people communicate，but it also promotes discussions." He also said that autism acceptance can only come after autism awareness.

（1）Why did Dan Harris create the communication boards in Peterborough？
A.To raise funds for charities.
B.To promote autism awareness.
