For more than a century it was thought that a beautifol face was appealing because it was a co ection of average features. Using his computer system,Dr David Perrett of the University of St Andrews has challenged the theory. In a key experiment,photographs of women were ranked tor their attractiveness by a number of volunteers Two composite pictures were then created;
one,tile average of all the pictures,the other made lrom those rated most attractive. Although the faces looked very similar at first sight,most people said they preferred the composite of most attractive faces.
“The conclusion I reached," said Dr Perrett was that the most attractive face was not average. If you look at famous film stars and supermodels,most of them have Wefl/ (理想的) features 一 larger than normal eyes,higher arched eyebrows,slightly smaller noses,and higher cheekbones Even popular cartoon characters such as Betty Boop,Yasmin from Aladdin and Bambi have big eyes,small tumed-up noses,big mouths and small chins. And if these features are exaggerated,the attractiveness rating goes up even more. Julia Roberts is a good example of this."
But what do scientists make of men，s faces? Do men with large eyes,high cheekbones and a small chin have the same appeal? Researchers were a bit shocked at the top-ranking male face. They expected it to have the classic square jaw and strong cheekbones,but instead,women seem to prefer men with gentle faces.
Dr Perrett puts forward a reason to explain why so many women now go for baby-faced stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jude Law. Women like a man with (女性化的) face because he is more likely to make a kinder and more trustworthy husband and father.
But do these ideals of beauty manage to cross cultural boundaries? Are the same features considered to be attractive all over the world? A worldwide study carried out by Professor Cunningham of the University of Louisville,Kentucky concluded that there were only very subtle differences between different cultures. In other words,although there might be a little truth in the old saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,by and large,we all seem to be attracted to the same things.
6. Dr Perrett reached his conclusion mainly by.
A. telling true stories

C
There are around 6,000 living languages in the world — and at least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world,languages are disappearing. In fact,one scientist has said that languages are in more danger of extinction than birds or mammals. Professor Steve Sutherland of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years 4. 5 percent of languages have died out — compared with 1. 3 percent of birds,and 1. 9 percent of mammals.
Languages come and go,and thousands have done exactly that without leaving any trace Only a very few —iasque,Greek and Latin among them — have lasted more than 2,000 years. But it seems that the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.
The Ethnologue,a database of all the languages spoken in the world,states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people speak a language,it will probably die out.
Languages may be iost through migration(迁移) , as people move from small towns to city centers,or when environments are destroyed by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also devastate populations,and along with them,their language.Governments also play a role in the extinction of languages. The need to establish “official languages”，for a country to educate its children and carry out its business,had a disastrous effect on many small languages.
What is lost if a language is lost? Some people argue that languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language — some industries already reflect this,with English essential for pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important things than convenience. As languages are lost,whole ways of life and knowledge may be lost along with them.
To put it simply,language expresses something about identity,about our place in the world. Ani Rauhihi,a Maori teacher in New Zealand's North Island,sums it up: “If you grow up speaking our language,you won’t know who you are."
28. The figures mentioned in the first paragraph suggest that .
A. most languages have died out completely
B. languages are in great danger of extinction
C. animals are disappearing faster than languages
D. languages are disappearing slower than before
29. The underlined word “devastate” can best,be replaced by “”
A. increase B. control C. destroy D. improve
30. If a language is lost,.
A. there will be great trouble
B. there is no need to worry about it
C. its culture and knowledge will also be lost
D. people will be able to communicate with others conveniently
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Languages reflect our identity.
B. People will speak the same language one day.
C. Fewer people will remember their own languages.
D. Ani Rauhihi cares less about languages dying out.
