While there has been no female president in America, Finland elected its third female prime minister(总理) last year. Even more impressive, 34-year-old Sanna Marin, who was sworn into office (宣誓就职) on December 10, 2019, is the youngest prime minister in Finland's h________ and the youngest leader of a government in the world.

Ms. Marin was born in 1985, in Helsinki, the capital city of Finland. Born and raised in a low-income household, she is the o________ person in her family to graduate from both high school and university.

Her political career began in 2013 as the City Council head of Tampere. She currently lives with her partner and their two-year-old daughter there. The young leader's ability to fearlessly deal with difficult issues made her extremely p________ with the public. Ms. Marin has been a member of Finland's Parliament (议会) since 2015.Before the election, she s________ as the Minister of Transport and Communications

The a________ of the new leader may actually be more important than her sex, at least in Finland, since the country has had long and strong female representation(代表) in government. Finland elected its first female president, Tarja Halonen, in 2000. The first female prime minister, Anneli, followed in 2003.

But about her win, the newly-elected Marin said, "I have not actually ever thought about how y________ I am or the fact that I am a woman. ”The woman leader is expected to focus her efforts on climate change, equality and social welfare. In an online post following her election, Ms. Marin said, “Finland will become b________. That's what we're working on. I want to build a society where every child can do anything they set their mind to, and every person can live and grow in dignity (尊严).”

D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题)(共 12 分)

Hi, honey

I know you're very busy at work and I'm sure that's why you haven't returned my call, so I am sending you this e-mail. I always get a little sentimental (多愁善感的) this time of year since our family doesn't celebrate Christmas. But if you felt like making the trip this year, I would be happy to pay for half of your ticket, but no pressure. I don't feel lonely, especially since I made friends with the woman who moved in across the hall. Did I tell you about Loni? We have discovered that we both love movies, and have been seeing a film almost every day. I'm sure you don't have much time, so I thought I would send you my “reviews” of the season's top films to help you figure out which ones are worth watching.

“MARTIANS”

This is the best film of the year! Matt Damon is perfect. He is exactly the kind of man I would love to see you end up with, someone who is patient and could take care of you even in a dangerous situation.

“HARFA KOZY”

It is an independent Polish film that Loni and I saw at the Museum of Fine Arts. It's about a young poor girl who lives with her uncle in a small house and spends her whole life dreaming of playing the harp (竖琴) at the concert. Unfortunately, her family was too poor to afford it, but when she turns ten, her uncle makes her a harp from the bones of her pet goat. It's a wonderful film about the power of family and music, and it ends with some fun singing and dancing.

OK. It's getting late here, so I’d better go to sleep. As you know, I would like to see any of these films again if you decide you are interested in coming home. Loni will visit her daughter in Chicago for the holidays so she cannot be my film date for a while, but no pressure, I can always just bring my notebook to the theatre and take notes for more "reviews", and that's all the company I need.

Love,

Mum
