20、的老家，并发现自己无处可去。她单身，不快乐，还疲于应付年迈的父母和毫无前途的工作。对于婚姻、孩子、稳定的工作这些中产阶级所追求的目标，萨姆似乎正渐行渐远，而不是步步接近。有一次，她告诉她的朋友乔尔，她准备花一个周六的时间写下她的目标和成就，却随即咯咯笑着承认自己的真实计划：“我要无所事事地喝酒，只穿着内衣。”为什么不可以呢？在电视喜剧和剧情喜剧片中，看到女性角色们放弃远大理想、不再追求个人成长和自我实现，是一种解脱。从醍醐灌顶到大城小妞，从都市女孩到我可能会毁了你，女主人公不顾人们对她们勤奋工作、承担社会责任的期望，反而倾向于懒惰和自我毁灭。当她们觉得工作无趣，就会辞职；她们拒绝接受稳定的关系、报酬丰厚的工作，甚至会摈弃个人尊严。这些一反常态的故事情节，正是女性主义学者苏珊弗莱曼所说的“反模范”叙事的写照。主人公们放弃自己的成长和教育，相比为了婚姻和高管职位而努力奋斗，她们则更有可能陷入失败的泥潭。而这恰恰是重点所在：在一个鼓励女性统治世界的时代，“反模范”的女主角是一种及时的提醒：即使不承担责任、不提升自己、不成就等身，女性本身也值得珍视。拓展练习阅读理解参考答案21.A 22.A 23.D 24.C
