阅读理解. Barbie (芭比娃娃),believe it or not,is 50 this year and she's still as popular as ever. A doll is a doll,but Barbie illustrates how,over the last five decades,women have become a standard for judging what really means. How women are treated in different countriestells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live. The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities inrole playing,giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up,whether to be frivolous or serious (or both). But in many countries that's not an option. In Saudi Arabia,where woman can't drive or go out publicly unless covered,Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam (伊斯兰教) and a threat to morality. In America,she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she's as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her "growth" from model to astronaut. Barbie inspired a dollrevolution movement. When a Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say "Math class is tough",she was criticized by a national women's group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she's a bad influence because she's too thin and encourages anorexia,that she has run through too many stereotypes,and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child's play. In some Muslim countries,substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values,with their modest clothing and profamily backgrounds. They are widelyseen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market. Toyseller Masounmen Rahimi welcomed the dolls,saying Barbie was "foreign to Muslimculture" because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie,could grow into women who reject Muslim values. "I think every Barbie doll ismore harmful than an American missile," Ms Rahimi said. 1.Barbie is forbidden in some Muslim countries because ________.
