German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the Forbes list of the world's most powerful women, which is dominated by politicians, businesswomen and leaders in media and entertainment. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who came close to defeating President Obama when he sought the Democratic nomination in 2008, was second, followed by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
"Our list reflects the diverse and dynamic paths to power for women today, whether leading a nation or setting the agenda on critical issues of our time," said Moira Forbes, president & publisher of ForbesWoman, said in a statement. Eight heads of state and 29 CEOs made Forbes' roster of the 100 most powerful women released on Wednesday. They have an average age of 54 and collectively control $30 trillion. Twenty two are single.
"Across their multiple spheres of influence, these women have achieved power through connectivity, the ability to build a community around the organizations they oversee, the countries they lead, the causes they champion and their personal brands," Forbes added.
Merkel was cited as the head of the one real global economy in Europe. Clinton was lauded for deftly dealing with Middle East revolutions and WikiLeaks revelations in her second year on the job, while Rousseff made history as the first woman to lead Latin America's largest economic power.
Rounding out the top five were the CEO of PepsiCo U.S. Indra Nooyi, who oversees the $60 billion food and beverage empire, and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who was credited with preparing the booming social network's IPO that could bring in as much as $100 billion. Forbes said women on the list achieved power not only through money and might, but, thanks to social media, through reach and influence.
Lady Gaga and The New York Times' recently appointed executive editor, Jill Abramson, came in at No. 11 and 12.Gaga was also the youngest member of the list at age 25, while Britain's Queen Elizabeth, who ranked No. 49, was the oldest at 85.U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, who last year held the top spot, dropped to No. 8 in the current ranking.

B
That afternoon when I came home from school I found my brother on the kitchen floor playing with boxes of cereals and raisins and dried apricots. My mother was begging him to eat.
"No, no, no!" Fudge shouted. He made a terrible mess, dumping everything on the floor.
"Please stand on your head, Peter," my mother said. "__________"
"No!" I told her. "I'm not going to stand on my head anymore." I went into my room and slammed the door. I played with Dribble until suppertime. Nobody ever worries about me the way they worry about Fudge. If I decided not to eat they'd probably never even notice!
That night during dinner Fudge hid under the kitchen table. He said, "I'm a doggie. Woof ... woof ... woof!"
It was hard to eat with him under the table pulling on my legs. I waited for my father to say something. But he didn't.
Finally my mother jumped up. "I know," she said. "If Fudge’s a doggie he wants to eat on the floor! Right?"
If you ask me Fudge never even thought about that. But he liked the idea a lot. He barked and nodded his head.
So my mother fixed his plate and put it under the table. Then she reached down and petted him, like he was a real dog.
My father said, "Aren't we carrying this a little too far?"
My mother didn't answer.
Fudge ate two bites of his dinner.
My mother was satisfied.
After a week of having him eat under the table I felt like we really did have a family dog. I thought how great it would be if we could trade in Fudge for a nice cocker spaniel. That would solve all my problems. I'd walk him and feed him and play with him. He could even sleep on the edge of my bed at night. But of course that was wishful thinking. My brother is here to stay. And there's nothing much I can do about it.
Grandma came over with a million ideas about getting Fudge to eat. She tricked him by making milk shakes in the blender. When Fudge wasn't looking she threw in an egg. Then she told him if he drank it all up there would be a surprise in the bottom of the glass. The first time he believed her. He finished his milk shake. But all he saw was an empty glass. There wasn't any surprise Fudge got so mad he threw the glass down. It smashed into little pieces. After that Grandma left.
The next day my mother dragged Fudge to Dr. Cone's office.
He told her to leave him alone. That Fudge would eat when he got hungry.
I reminded my mother that I'd told her the same thing --- and for free! But I guess my mother didn't believe either one of us because she took Fudge to see three more doctors. None of them could find a thing wrong with my brother. One doctor even suggested that my mother cook Fudge his favorite foods.
60. Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank in the passage?
A. It's the only way he'll eat. B. Perhaps he will like it.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. You will make it.
61. What do you think a cocker spaniel is?
A. A lovely baby. B. A kind of dog.
C. Fudge’s toy. D. The family’s pet.
62. What is father’s attitude toward Fudge’s eating under the table?
A. He thinks it’s the best way out.
B. He doesn’t quite agree to the idea but has to accept it.
C. He violently objects to the idea.
D. He appreciates the idea very much.
63. What will mother probably do next?
A. See more doctors. B. Leave the problem to father.
C. Cook Fudge his favorite food. D. Ask Peter to stand on his head.
