A

　　When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer “to keep warm and to cover my body”. These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.

If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion(时尚).

Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer’s body just as well.

Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime(消遣)!

1. What do people basically wear clothes for?

A. Looking attractive to others.

B. Following the fashion.

C. Appearing successful to others.

D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.

2. We can learn from the passage that ______.  

A. fashion is an expensive pastime

B. fashion is not always changing

C. expensive clothes are warmer

D. fashion designers like expensive clothes

3. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Fashionable clothes shops.

B. The clothes that some people have.

C. Cupboards for storing clothes.

D. Shelves used for keeping books.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Suits and ties.

B. Clothes and fashion.

C. Beauty and success.

D. Cost and pastime.

B

Can you be too beautiful?  It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother—as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.

Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation—or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?  At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it;  we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.

But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.

More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.

To conclude, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety—even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions, ” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker puts it so elegantly:  “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone. ” 

5. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ______.  

A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance

B. most people are not afraid of being too beautiful

C. we might always dream about being bothered by others

D. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone

6. Which is right according to the passage?

A. Doctors care more about beautiful patients.

B. Beautiful people tend to have a healthy body.

C. Attractive women and men have equal chance of leadership.

D. Focusing too much on your appearance can be harmful.

7. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. The more beautiful outside, the less beautiful inside.

B. Beauty can help make a better personality.

C. Beauty cannot make up for bad personalities.

D. Ugly people have more confidence in their personalities.

8. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. What is Real Beauty?

B. The Bad Effects of Beauty.

C. Benefits of Beauty.

D. Beauty, a Blessing?

V. 七选五

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. 　1　 

Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 　2　 You appreciate your body for its abilities and accept its imperfections.  

So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?  Here are some ideas:

Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well?  Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination (协调) makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have skills, like drawing, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 　3　 

Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 　4　 You can keep healthy by simply exercising 20 minutes to one hour three times a week. Taking exercise can also lift your spirits.  

Respect your body!  Practising good habits- regular showering;  taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin;  wearing clean clothes, and so on-can help you build a positive body image.

　5　 Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for humor, a quick wit (智慧), and all the things make you special. So try not to let small imperfections affect you.  

A. Be yourself.

B. Just explore talents that you feel good about.

C. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.

D. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy habit.

E. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.

F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.

G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

V. 完形填空

　　Each of us struggles for self-respect and self-worth to some degree. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life.

During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my　2　. I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的人).  

After I graduated from high school, my desire to be “thin” began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by 　3　 my food.  

In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly　4　 myself.  

People around me began to notice my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too much weight. ” “Elisa, you’re so thin. ” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “　5　”.  

Sadly, I took my physical　6　 the first important in my life, 　7　 that it was the way to become successful and accepted.  

Then I cut down my food more and more, until a 　8　 day consisted of half a teaspoon of non-fat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.  

But my poor 　9　 began to cause me to lose 　10　. Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep, and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to 　11　, but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer 　12　. What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 　13　, and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the hospital, beginning the long road to my 　14　. It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements. . .  

And most importantly, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized that, with my　15　 of trying to be “perfect” on the outside, I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are—each and every one of us—already perfect.
