This is not a typical summer camp. But Michelle Pawlaw is glad she signed up for it."Getting to experience the fires hands-on is really cool and something that most people don"t get to do," she said.
Michelle and eight other teenage girls are participating in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside of Washington.
“The purpose is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a career” said firefighter Clare Burley, who is in charge of the program.

Clare joined the department seven years ago, saying "We do everything that the guys do to the same standarD.We are tested to the same standarD.We are expected to operate at the same standard."
Most of the girls say they had never thought about becoming a firefighter, but the camp was a great learning experience.

"I think I can help other people if they need help and know what to do in case I am at a fire myself," said Kayla Ehrlich.

Such dark protectionist thoughts are far from the 41 of the organizers of the United Kingdom’s annual “Fairtrade Fortnight”. Their 42 aim is to raise the price paid to developing-country farmers for their 43 by cutting out the inflated profits虚抬利润of the middlemen on whom they 44 for getting their goods to distant markets. Fair-trade products 45 cocoa, coffee, tea, and bananas do not compete with domestic European production, and 46 do not have a protectionist motive(动机).
This is how it works: In 47 for being paid a guaranteed price and meeting “agreed labor and environmental standards” (minimum wages, no farm chemicals ), poor-country farming cooperatives(合作社) receive a FAIRTRADE mark for their products, given 48 by the FAIRTRADE Labeling Organization. This mark 49 supermarkets and other businesses to sell the products at a higher than 50 price . Third-world farmers get their income increased, 51 first-world consumers get to feel virtuous: a marriage made in heaven.
The fair-trade movement, 52 in the 1980’s, has been growing rapidly. In a significant breakthrough in 1997, the British House of Commons 53 to serve only fair-trade coffee. By the end of 2007, more than 600 producers’ organizations, 54 1.4 million farmers in 58 countries, were selling fair-trade products. Today, a quarter of all bananas in UK supermarkets are sold under a FAIRTRADE mark. But FAIRTRADE-labeled products still represent a very 55 share—typically less than 1%—of global sales of cocoa, tea, coffee, etc.

Where it began
The word originated in Baidu. Com’s Tieba (a top Chinese bulletin board system) of soccer player Li Yi. There, fans of Li, who are called yisi in Chinese, not only talk about soccer but complain about their lives, work and relationships. Yisi, who are known for their rude and dirty language, were given the name diaosi by others who have seen their posts.
What a “diaosi” is like
The word diaosi was coined first by single, young men who feel they have dead-end lives. Generally, men in this category don’t earn enough, are not good-looking, and have difficulty winning promotion(晋升). Unlike their upper-class contemporaries(同代人), they lack influential families, useful social networks for their careers, and most importantly, suitable women to marry. “I’m just a diaosi, poor and plain-looking. Who will marry me?” The sigh can be heard, which is half self-mockery(自嘲), half reality. Many young men call themselves diaosi because they feel they are among the lowest classes of the society.
“Diaosi” culture reflects social changes
According to Zhu Chongke, a professor in the School of Asia-Pacific Studies at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, the popularity of this word diaosi stems from the fact that is was created by common people and thus resonates(共鸣) with a huge population. “Labeling yourself a diaosi offers a way for people to mock themselves and relieve pressure, hence it spread quickly,” he told Xinhua Agency. “The attitude is basically: ‘I already have little to lose, so why don’t I mock myself for gun?’.” The phenomenon reflects a larger social issues. These young people have no influential family background, no chances of receiving promotion at work or no economic strength to find a proper woman to marry. It reflects a deep sense of loss.

A.the ones who don’t earn much. |

D.the ones who have suitable people to marry. |
A.It was used to describe the fans of soccer player Li Yi. |
B.It was created by common people and resonates with a huge population. |
C.It is new and interesting. |
D.It helps people who are among the lowest classes mock themselves. |
A.It’s not the first time a term like “diaosi” has gone popular on the Internet. |
B.The name “diaosi” was given by those people who are among the lowest classes. |
C.Many young people call themselves diaosi because they have a deep sense of loss. |
D.Calling yourself diaosi can probably mock yourselves and release pressure. |
A.positive | B.negative | C.neutral(中立的) | D.indifferent |
