Makeup advertisements featuring actor Julia Roberts and supermodel Christy Turlington have been banned in the UK because of their controversial use of "airbrushing"(圖像"磨皮”工具) .
Britain's Advertising Standards Agency 1 the ban after politician Jo Swinson com?plained about the two ads,for foundation products made by L'Oreal's Maybelline and Lancome brands. L'Oreal 2 the photographs 3 used had been digitally manipulated (電子處理) and retouched. But the cosmetics giant claimed they " accurately 4 the effects their make?up ―Maybelline's The Eraser antiageing foundation and Lancome's Teint Miracle ― could 5 .
Swinson,who has waged (致力于) a longrunning campaign against the use of "unrealistic" images in fashion and 6 ,said it was " shocking" that the ASA had not been allowed to see the original version of the Roberts 7 " It shows just how ridiculous things have become 8 there is such fear over an unairbrushed photo 9 even the advertising regulator isn't permitted to see it."
The Scottish MP 10 the ban,and said it should act as a wakeup call to advertisers,urging them to "get 11 to 12 . ” "Pictures of flawless (無瑕的) skin and superslim bodies are all around,but they don't reflect reality," she said. "With one 13 four people feeling depressed about their body,it's time to consider how these idealised images are distorting our idea of beauty. " Excessive (過分的) airbrushing and digital manipulation techniques have be?come the norm (規(guī)范,標準) ,but 14 Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts are 15 beauti?ful women who don't need retouching to look great.
Both Maybelline and Lancome said they were " disappointed" 16 the ASA's ruling,in?sisting that The Eraser and Teint Miracle were scientifically proven,and pointing to consumer tests which showed users were 17 with their 18 .
It is not the first time their parent company L'Oreal has fallen foul ofBritain's advertising authorities. In 2007,a TV advertisement for its Telescopic mascara (睫毛骨) 一featuring actor Penelope Cruz ― was 19 for failing to make clear she had been wearing 20 eyelashes.

A Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience,and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit of Pacaya for a closeup view. There are guided tours every?day up this highly active volcano from Antigua,giving travellers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most power.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua,a beautiful city with many colourful houses along its old streets that are turned into artworks during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua,you won't miss the Pacayatour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job. It is 2 ,560 metres high,and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back move?ments. As you climb,you hear the dull sounds of erup?tions high above. Steaming,hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit:the McKenney Cone (火山錐) .Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone,the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old,inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils,sending the red lava over its sides,and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night,the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the vo卜cano. For you,too,it is time to get down.
16. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C. To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
17. Antigua is a city .
A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals
B. where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C. that gives a closeup view of Pacaya
D. that is famous for its tour companies
18. Climbing to the McKenney Cone,people will .
A. walk directly to the active summit
B. hear the continuous loud noise from above
C. make greater efforts than to other summits
D. see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
19. Many tours are timed for people to .
A. get down the mountain in time when night falls

iy China's first aircraft carrier began sea trials Wednesday,marking a milestone in the country's rapid military modernization and longterm strategy to challenge U. S. military su?premacy in Asia and project power far beyond Chinese shores.
The 300-meter-long carrier,based on an empty hull bought from Ukraine,sounded its horn three times as it ploughed through the morning fog around Dalian and headed out to sea,accord?ing to one witness writing on the military microblog of the staterun Xinhua News Agency.
The carrier,featuring its original skijump runway to launch fighters and a new engine and radar equipment,has been undergoing refurbishment (重新裝備) for the last decade in the north?eastern port.
Xinhua said the sea trials " would not take a long time”,without giving details of the exact duration or say what sort of tests would be carried out. " After returning from the sea trial,the aircraft carrier will continue refit and test work," it said.
The provincial Maritime Safety Authority said on its web site that all vessels will be barred (被禁止的) from entering a small section of sea off Dalian until 6 p. m. local time Aug. 14.
The launch had long been expected as final preparations of the vessel―which has yet to be named by China ― were visible from many points around Dalian and had been regularly photographed and documented online by amateur enthusiasts.
A Chinese company purchased the empty hull of a carrier called the Varyag from Ukraine in 1998 on the understanding that it would be used as a floating casino,but it was later towed (4& 曳) to Dalian via the Black Sea,the Mediterranean and the Straits of Malacca.
China officially acknowledged only last month that it was refurbishing the vessel,and tried to ease regional concerns by saying it would be used for "research,experiments and training" and would take a long time to become fully operational.
China is the only one of the five permanent members of the U. N.Security Council,which includes theU. S.,Britain,FranceandRussia,without an operational carrier.IndiaandThai?landhave a carrier each,whileJapanhas one that carries helicopters.

When I was 17 ,I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last,someday you'll most certainly be right. " It made an impression on me,and since then,for the past 33 years,I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:"If to?day was the last day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And when?ever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row,I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external (夕卜表的) expecta?tions,all pride,all fear of embarrassment or failure―these things just fall away in the face of death,leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning,and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas (肢腺) .I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,and that I should ex?pect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order,which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy (活體檢視) ,where they stuck an endoscope (內(nèi)窺鏡) down my throat,through my stomach and into my intestines (腸) , put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated (麻醉) ,but my wife,who was there,told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope,the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
( ) 5. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. After the surgery,the writer is now fully recovered from his illness.
B. Before the surgery,the writer knows it is hard for him to be well again.
C. During the surgery,the writer feels quite lucky the cancer is curable.
D. When the writer had the surgery,he is sure that cancer is nothing to fear.
( ) 6. The underlined words "get my affairs in order" in the third paragraph most probably means .
A. put my things in the case in order
B. have my things packed in order
C. arrange everything in proper trim
D. replace something as planned
( ) 7. Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards his cancer?
A. Disordered. B. Depressed. C. Disturbed. D. Deliberated.
( ) 8. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Cherish Life and Make It Meaningful
B. Appreciate Life and Pursuit What is Important
C. Understand Life and Ignore Any Kinds of Illness
D. Treasure Life and Enjoy Every Minute of It
