73. People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.

Why do we have libraries? 74.What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?

75.We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.

【题目】Prom(毕业舞会) is the last and biggest dance of the school year in the US, usually only for junior or senior students. This one big night costs teens and parents a lot of money.

Girls buy dresses while boys rent tuxedos(燕尾服). Girls usually get their hair, makeup and nails done for this special dance, and boys may rent a car to drive to the event and buy their date flowers. All of this adds up to a lot of money—an average of over $900 in 2015.

And that’s not where it stops. It’s becoming more common for teens to ask their dates(舞伴) to go with them to the dance in a special and public way. Lately, people are calling it a promposal(高中舞会),or a prom proposal(求婚), because teens are putting almost as much hard work into it as a wedding proposal.

It is said that the average promposal costs about one third of the total cost of prom. Prom is a great chance to dress up, dance and have fun with friends. But there can also be a lot of added pressure for teens to look good and impress their friends, which may take away some of the fun.

2How much did students spend preparing for prom in 2015?

3Why is asking a date to prom called a promposal nowadays?

【题目】Many of us have a certain pose for photos, but have you ever noticed which side you naturally turn?

According to US science writer Sam Kean, people tend to turn to the right and show the left side of their faces.

That might be because the left side of our faces looks better than our right side. This may have something to do with our brain. The right side of the brain, which controls the left side of the body, deals more with emotions. So the left half of faces are often more expressive(富有表现力的), The Atlantic reported.

During studies, it is found that more than 60 percent of famous paintings since the 14th century showed people’s left side of the face.

But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.

Yet this doesn’t mean the left side phenomenon(现象) is wrong. As Professor Marco Bertamini from Liverpool University explained, self-portraits are usually painted through a mirror. For example, if an artist shows his left side to a mirror, and draws what he can see, the final picture on the paper would show the head facing to the right.

The front-facing camera on smart phones works the same way as a mirror. When people take selfies(自拍照) using a front-facing camera, most of them take a photo with their head facing to the right.

“Our results show that a preference(偏爱) for self-portraits showing one’s left side, even if this appears as a right face in the mirror-reversed(反转的)display,”Bertamini told The Guardian.

Next time, when you take a photo, remember to show your better side to the camera.

1Why do people like to show the left side of their faces for photos?

A. It’s much easier for us to make a pose.??? B. It makes people look more natural on photos.

C. The left side of our faces looks better.??? D. The left side of our faces look friendlier.

2From Paragraph 3, we learn that __________.

A. the right side of the brain controls the right side of our faces

B. the right side of the brain deals with our emotions

C. the right side of our faces looks more expressive

D. our brain decides whether we look good or not

3Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Artists usually draw themselves from the left.

B. There is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.

C. The front-facing camera on smart phones doesn’t take good photos.

D. Bertamini tells people how to take better selfies.

4What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Where to take good photos.??? B. How the left side of the brain works.

C. How to draw yourself better.??? D. Why we show off the left side of our faces in photos.
