Now, as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark. Five years after moving into the White House, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office. So far, critics have complained about Michelles silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice: Last year, at the start of her husbands second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. She also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nations “mom-in-chief.” Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.“The most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or Hispanic, youre the first lady and the president of all the people in the United States. Thats a huge melting pot, so to reinforce (强化)that shes African American over anything else would not be wise,” said Anita McBride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of Americas first ladies and their historical influence at American University. Valerie Jarrett, a top White House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas, said the first lady doesnt want to “spread herself too thin.” “She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” Jarrett told the Associated Press. “That, she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”But Robert Watson, a Lynn University professor, said he expects Obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said. Myra Gutin, a Ryder University communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies, said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the White House, given their success. Michelle launched the “Lets Move” campaign in 2010. It in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise (特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables. “Theres no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. Is Mrs. Obama cutting edge? Is she an activist? No. As first ladies go, I think shes been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “But shes not exactly just sitting in the White House pouring tea and having receptions, either.”1、Critics were disappointed with Michelle because _.Ashe didnt put gun-control measures into effectBshe failed some feminists to stand out to be a career womanCshe didnt solve some racial problemsDshe failed to voice her opinion on some issues2、According to the professors or advisers, which of the following statements is NOT true?AIts not wise to reinforce Michelle is African American over anything else.BIts better for Michelle to have a maximum impact than to take on every possible cause.CIts expected for Michelle to go a little harder at issues.DIts a tradition for first ladies to stay out of political issues.3、What does the underlined phrase “spread herself too thin” in Paragraph 6 mean?ATry to do a lot of work at the same time.BGet very tired.CTry to improve physical fitness.DMove herself away from others.4、In Paragraph 9, the campaign “Lets Move” might be aiming to help people _.a. gain widespread supportb. become more physically activec. have access to healthier foodsd. raise awareness about gun controlAa, cBa, bCb, cDc, d【参考答案】1-4、DDAC 完形填空。阅读下面短文，把握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end.
