Apart from women and girls' problematic relationship with appetite， food and dating, it's widely reported that women are less likely than men to ask for pay rises and promotions.

　　Instead, they withdraw， hoping that somebody else will decide they are worthy and make them promoted.

　　No doubt, many women develop Asker's Syndrome as a defensive measure because they've been labeled as pushy or rude for simply asking for what they want. But in the long term， choosing not to express our desires doesn't serve us well.

　　It's time to cure ourselves and our girls of Asker's Syndrome. I don't want to raise a future “mother” who denies her wish for food, power and success and anything else. So I now insist that my daughter ask for what she wants directly.

　　For women in our culture, asking is a skill that we need to learn and practice. And if we all do it, then women asking will become the norm rather than the exception.

　　本文作者通过事例来告诉我们Asker's Syndrome的症状是什么，并且提出自己的看法，鼓励女士们勇于发表自己的观点，说出自己真正想要的。

　　1. The author's mother­in­law is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to ________.

　　A．introduce the old lady B．set an example

　　C．talk about her illness D．lead in a topic

　　答案：D　考查文章结构。本文讲的是Asker's Syndrome的症状是什么，文章一开始就通过“mother­in­law”在点菜的时候没有说出自己真正想要的菜的这个例子来引出话题。故选D项。
