Question

Lexi Peters, a 14-year-old girl in New York, loves hockey. She’s not only good at playing on her after-school team, but also at playing hockey video games. But when Peters played the popular NHL (National Hockey League) games made by Electronic Arts, something really bothered her. The virtual (虛擬的) character in the game could only be a boy — not a girl.
She didn’t think that was reasonable. There must be many girls playing hockey in the US. So she wrote a letter to Electronic Arts.
“Being represented by a man is unfair to women and girl hockey players,” Peters wrote. “Women’s hockey is a fast-growing sport. I am confident that I’m not the only woman interested in the opportunity to create herself in the game.”
Several weeks later, Peters received an unexpected e-mail from the senior producer for EA Sports’ NHL games, David Littman. “Hi, Lexi,” the e-mail began. “We agree with you!”
Electronic Arts said it would create a female player in the game. “I was thinking you could be the model,” Littman wrote. Peters almost couldn’t believe it. Later, she sent photos of herself taken at all different angles (角度).
And so, when Electronic Arts released the newest version of their game, NHL 12, this fall, Peters was the face of the female player. She can now skate with the NHL’s great players. “It’s strange at first, but you get used to it,” said Peters. “It’s really funny and cool.”
For Peters, there is also an important lesson that she will take with her the rest of her life. “If you have something to say, and you think it’s important, go for it!” she said

試題分析：本文敘述了一個喜歡玩冰球游戲的女孩因為不滿游戲中虛擬人物只有男性，沒有女性而果斷寫信給美國藝電要求改變這一處境，最后藝電接受了這一建議，游戲中有了女性虛擬人物。其中給我們的啟示就是：一旦認為有什么重要的事情，就去努力爭取。
1.從第一段 The virtual (虛擬的) character in the game could only be a boy — not a girl可知游戲中虛擬人物只有男孩，沒有女孩，故選A
2.從第三段Women’s hockey is a fast-growing sport...not the only woman interested in the opportunity to create herself in the game可知越來越多的女孩對冰球游戲感興趣。
3.從David Littman的回信中“We agree with you”可得知他贊同。
4.從文章最后一段If you have something to say, and you think it’s important, go for it!可知其中的啟示就是：一旦認為有什么重要的事情，就去努力爭取。
