Question

【題目】

Many may associate Meghan Markle(梅根·馬克爾) with the British royal family or the hit drama series Suits(《金裝律師》). But the American actress has also made a name for herself in the activism(社會(huì)活動(dòng)) world by getting 【1】 in number of charitable projects. While she has been seen as a key figure in raising global attention to gender equality(性別平等) lately, her activist nature dates back to her elementary school days.

One day more than two decades ago, Markle was watching a TV program at school when a dish-washing liquid commercial appeared on the screen. What attracted her attention was its tagline(品牌宣言): “Women all over America are fighting greasy(油膩的) pots and pans.” Two boys from her class said, “Yeah, that’s where women belong – in the kitchen.” Markle felt so shocked and angry at their response that she 【2】 to herself, “It just isn’t right and something needs to be done.”

After getting home, the young Markle decided to make 【3】 to the manufacturer P&G Meanwhile, she wrote to three 【4】 women, including former U.S. first lady Hillary Clinton. To Markle’s surprise, she received letters of encouragement from all three women, and a camera crew even came to her house in Los Angeles to cover the story.

The campaigning didn’t just encourage discussion and change on a local level either. Roughly a month later, P&G changed the commercial for their dish-washing liquid from “women all over America” to “people all over America.” It was at that moment that Markle realized the importance of her actions. By the age of 11, she had created her small level of 【5】 by standing up for gender equality.

Looking back on her experience of somehow accidentally becoming a women’s 【6】 activist, Markle reminded girls, “It isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Women need a seat at the table; they need an invitation to be seated there. And in some cases where this isn’t 【7】, they need to create their own table.”
