The Enigma (謎）of Beauty

The search for beauty spans centuries and continents．Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4，000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup．In 18th-century France，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假發(fā)）of long，white hair to make themselves attractive．Today，people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.

There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive：beauty is power．Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money，get called on more often in class，and are regarded as friendlier.

But what exactly is beauty? It's difficult to describe it clearly，and yet we know it when we see it．And our awareness of it may start at a very early age．In one set of studies，six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs．The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students．In the studies，the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.

The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers．In studies by psychologists，men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes，fuller lips，and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist．According to scientists，the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips，clear skin，strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.

Not everyone thinks the same way，however．" Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural，" says C． Loring Brace，an anthropologist at the University of Michigan．What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another．Look at most Western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin．But is this "perfect" body type for women worldwide? Scientists' answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the worlD． They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.

For better or worse，beauty plays a role in our lives．But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another．Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing，it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single，uniform standarD． Beauty really is，as the saying goes，in the eye of the beholder.

1.People's ideas about beauty ________.

A． have existed since ancient times

B． can be easily described

C． have little influence on a person's success

D． are based upon strict criteria

2.In Paragraph 3，the babies in the study ________.

A． were rated for their appearance

B． were entered in a beauty contest

C． were shown photos of a group of college students

D． were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones

3.The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A． qualities

B． measurements

C． judgments

D． standards

4.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A． the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up

B． the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidence

C． the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches

D． the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds

Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陳代謝) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.

1.It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.

A． foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit

B． we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods

C． it is essential for people to protect their vital organs

D． giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle

2.Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.

A． destroy body’s cells

B． stop body’s metabolism

C． may lead to obesity

D． are difficult to digest

3.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A． To warn people of the problem of obesity

B． To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.

C． To inform people of the harm of processed foods.

D． To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.

4.The underline word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means ____________.

A． violent

B． progressive

C． positive

D． harmful

The Washington post – NASA’s newest space habitat looks sort of like a kids’ moon bonce, a big, bright, inflatable globe that could be lots of fun to play in. Soon astronauts on the International Space Station could get the chance to try . The expandable habitat made by Bigelow Aerospace recently passed NASA’s strict certification requirements and is scheduled to be flown to the station in September.

Called the BEAM ( Bigelow Expandable Activity Module), the habitat would be attached to the space station, where it would stay for two years. While there, it would be tested to see how it handles the rigors of space – the radiation, the station’s movement and even how it stands up to the debris (碎片) flying around in orbit.

The private Las Vegas company, founded by millionaire real estate mogul(地產(chǎn)大亨) Robert Bigelow, won a $17.8 million contract from NASA to provide the module to the space station.

“Today is the first step, but it’s a big step,” said Bigelow’s George Zamka. Replace the space station or make it larger. It also hopes to build the habitats on the moon. Its B330 module would be even bigger, with 330 cubic meters of internal (內(nèi)部的 ) space. The modules could be connected. Creating research facilities, the company says, or even space hotels.

In an interview ,NASA’s William Gerstenmaier, said he was eager to see how the module performs , and said he was especially pleased “ to see how the private sector can step up and help us meet our requirements.” The module will be flown to the space station by SpaceX, the first commercial company to resupply the space station.

1.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. NASA’s space habitats flown to the station.

B. NASA’s space habitat it the station.

C. NASA’s new expandable space habitat.

D. NASA’s newest inflatable globe.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. NASA’s newest space habitat is a kids’ moon bounce.

B. Astronauts of Bigelow Aerospace could get the chance to try the space habitat.

C. NASA was founded by Robert Bigelow.

D. The B330 module to be built on the moon would be with an inside space of 330 cubic meters.

3.The underlined word “rigors” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_________”.

A. difficulties B. environments

C. movements D. changes

4.The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A. a newspaper B. a booklet

C. a magazine D. a science fiction
