专题一 阅读理解 训练7 情感态度
A(导学号59430066)
When I asked my mother－in－law to select which meals she'd like me to order from the home－delivery menu，she only chose the ones her husband would like.This goes way beyond politeness.She is actually feeling uncomfortable voicing what she wants.She developed the main symptom of Asker's Syndrome that one's unable to ask for what one wants.
It's not just older women who have this problem.Asker's Syndrome can strike the young.I have single friends who won't ask a man out on a date because they fear being considered “too forward”．My five－year－old daughter Violet is showing the early stages of Asker's Syndrome.She's learned that women don't ask，but rather drop hints.She'll say，“Remember last Sunday afternoon we went to the park？” rather than “Can we go to the park？”
Apart from women and girls' problematic relationship with appetite，food and dating，it's widely reported that women are less likely than men to ask for pay rises and promotions.Instead，they withdraw，hoping that somebody else will decide they are worthy and make them promoted.
No doubt，many women develop Asker's Syndrome as a defensive measure because they've been labeled as pushy or rude for simply asking for what they want.But in the long term，choosing not to express our desires doesn't serve us well.
It's time to cure ourselves and our girls of Asker's
Syndrome.I don't want to raise a future “mother” who denies her wish for food，power and success and anything else.So I now insist that my daughter ask for what she wants directly.
For women in our culture，asking is a skill that we need to learn and practice.And if we all do it，then women asking will become the norm rather than the exception.

Dear Sara，
As we drove off from Columbia，I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.First，I want to tell you how proud we are.Getting into Columbia College shows what a great well－
rounded student you are.Your academic，artistic，and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years.Whether it is getting the highest grade in mathematics，completing your elegant fashion design，successfully selling your painted running shoes，or becoming one of the top speakers in Model United Nations，you have become a talented and accomplished young woman.You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about.This will be the period where you go from teacher－taught to master－inspired，after which you must become a self－learner.So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life，the skills of learning will be important to you forever.
Follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Do your best in classes，but don't let pressure get to you.Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades.If you graduate and learn something in your four years，we would feel happy.So please don't give yourself pressure.
I told your mum I'm writing this letter，and asked what she wanted me to say.She thought and said，“Just ask her to take care of herself.” Please listen to your mother and take care of yourself.
So please treasure your college years，make the best of your free time，and become an independent thinker; learn and grow through your successes and challenges.
Love，
Dad ( & Mum)
