     Is the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?
     The photograph on the right was changed using a new "beauty making" computer program, which
uses a mathematical formula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a
theoretically more attractive version, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike
changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.
     The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing
academic interest in the last decade.
     Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what
makes a face attractive. Most important is symmetry (匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness
and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define
beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.
     "How can they prove something is more or less beautiful?" said Lois Banner, a history professor at
Chicago University, who studies changing beauty standards. "There can never be a single standard of
beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced."
     After viewing "before" and "after" photographs of different people, Banner said the original faces
were more attractive. "Irregular beauty is the real beauty," said Banner, adding that attempts to measure
beauty are driven by the media"s efforts to define beauty and who is beautiful.
     Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for this article, said she was struck by how
different she looked. "I think the "after" picture looks great, but it doesn"t really look like me at all." She
added, "I would like to keep my original face."
     For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of beauty. "The first reaction we have to
faces will be based on face symmetry." said Alexander Nehamas, a professor who has written about
beauty. "But in real life we don"t just see a face. We see faces as people express their emotions and
ideas, and all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is
beautiful."1. How does the "beauty making" computer program work? A. It changes the distances between facial features.
B. It smoothes the skin and softens the color of the hair.
C. It repairs imperfect facial appearance by using a mathematical formula.
D. It replaces the original face with a similar one. 2. According to Banner, ______.A. there is no such thing as beauty
B. irregular beauty is more attractive than symmetrical beauty in every culture
C. the media is to blame for measuring beauty
D. it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful than another 3. After seeing her beautified photo, Martina Eckstut was ______.A. shocked because her face looked ugly
B. prefer to get her face changed although it didn"t look like her at all
C. amazed by the attractiveness but refused to change her face in reality
D. confused by how different she looked and had no idea what to do 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Beauty lies in face symmetry.
B. There is no single standard or definition of beauty.
C. People of different cultures can hardly reach any agreement on beauty.
D. Science should be used to help us create beauty. 5. The purpose of the passage is to ______.A. criticize the attempts to create artificial beauty
B. introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beauty
C. discuss what makes a person beautiful
D. to encourage people to change their appearance

very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
     The book"s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent
to bed without any supper. Before long, Max"s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away
to a land where monsters(怪物,怪兽) live. Max isn"t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild
things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot
when he arrives in his bedroom.
     Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and
imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple
of pages that have only pictures on them. "This allows children to shape the story themselves," she

experts say those words help improve children"s reading skills and challenge them.

about what all children go through, like "I was naughty but my mommy still loves me"," Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. "I think it"s really good to show that Max
makes friends with the monsters," Davis said. "Kids can find out monsters aren"t always the thing
under the bed that"s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can
go to scary places but still have a positive experience."
     Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many
people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little
scary for younger children. "You don"t want bad dreams over a book that"s extremely wonderful,"

阅读理解。       Some problems are difficult to solve!  But there are a lot of number expressions that can help.
For example,if we put two and two together,we might come up with the right answer. We know that
two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.
       Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can complete two goals with only
one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don"t make a right. If someone does
something bad to you,you should not do the same to him.
       If you are going out with your girlfriend,or boyfriend,you do not want another friend to go along
on your date. You can just say to your friend:twos company, three"s a crowd.
      A young child in school has to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and
arithmetic.  These three words do not all start with the 1etter R,but they have the sound of R. Teachers
will give three cheers when their pupils do a good job.
     Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their schoolwork. They were at sixes
and sevens. In fact,they did not care whether they could finish high school. They saw 1ittle difference
between the two choices. But they were really happy when they completed their studies and graduated
from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine.
     Last year,one of my friends applied for a better job at her office. I did not think she would get it. I
thought she had a hundred to one shot at the job. Other people at her office thought her chances were
a million to one. One reason was that she had been caught catching forty winks(打盹)  at the office. She
slept at her desk for short periods during the day. But her supervisor appointed her to the new job at
the eleventh hour-at the very last minute. I guess her lucky number came up. 1. What does the text mainly discuss?A. How to solve the difficult problems.
