2017考研英语拓展阅读：什么发色IQ最高

　　The dumb-blonde myth is a pervasive one in Hollywood and society, one that stigmatizes fair-haired women — usually pretty ones — for being ditzy and airheaded. It’s the underlying character arc that drives the women in movies like “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Legally Blonde” to fight against stereotype and prove they’re just as smart as anybody out there.
