    Is beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a disadvantage.

    While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.

    All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required.

    This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.

    The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.

    1.In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.

    A. makes women look more honest and capable

    B. strengthens the manly qualities required

    C. often enables women to succeed quickly

    D. is of no importance to women

    2. Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.

    A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men

    B. has as little effect on men as on women

    C. affects men and women alike

    D. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women

    3.According to the passage, people’s views on beauty are often _____.

    A. practical B. one – sided

    C. old fashioned D. supportive

    I know what you’re thinking: pizza？For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.

    I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早饭), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories ，still others just don’t like breakfast food .

    But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight . “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D，who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.

    Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

    So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

    1.The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means ______.

    A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone

    C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit

    2.What can we infer from the text?

    A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

    B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

    C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

    D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.

    3.According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______.

    A. eat something for breakfast

    B. be careful about what you eat

    C. heat up food before eating it

    D. eat calorie-controlled food

    4.The text is written mainly for those _______.

    A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight

    C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep

    For teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.

    ◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.

    ◆Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

    ◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野识途比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, it’s not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.

    1.When you sit beside the driver, you’d better ________.

    A．look ahead to see where there is a gas station

    B．move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

    C．keep looking at the map to find another place to go to

    D．direct the driver when necessary

    2.In the exploration, why do you need wait for the slower friends?

    A．To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

    B．To tell him/her what’s going on with group members.

    C．To avoid yourself or your friends getting lost.

    D．To show them how fast you can go.

    3.What does the whole passage talk about?

    A．The fun of exploration.

    B．What to bring for exploration.

    C．How to prevent people getting lost in exploration.

    D．The way to use a map in exploration.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    It is hard to know what babies want. They can’t talk, walk, or even point at what they’re thinking about. 1. And, compared to adults, they develop these skills quickly. People have a hard time learning new languages as they grow older, but infants have the ability to learn any language easily.

    For a long time, scientists have tried to explain how such young children can learn complicated(复杂的) grammatical rules and sounds of a language. 2. This new information might eventually help kids with learning problems as well as adults who want to learn new languages. It might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate like people do.

    Most babies go “goo goo” and “ma ma” by 6 months of age. 3. For decades, scientists have wondered how the brains of young children figure out how to communicate using language. With the help from new technologies and research strategies, scientists are now finding that babies begin life with the ability to learn any language.

    They get into contact with other people, listen to what they say and watch their movements very closely. 4. Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in the world.

    There are about 6,000 sounds that are spoken in languages around the globe, but not every language uses every sound. For example, while the Swedish language has 16 vowel sounds, English uses 8 vowel sounds, and Japanese uses just 5. Adults can hear only the sounds used in the languages they speak fluently. To a native Japanese speaker, for example, the letters R and L sound the same. 5.

    A. Children don’t respond to this kind of sound.

    B. Most children speak in full sentences by age 3.

    C. A baby’s brain focuses on the most common sounds.

    D. That is why they quickly master the languages they hear often.

    E. So a Japanese speaker cannot tell “row” from “low”, or “rake” from “lake”.

    F. Yet newborns begin to develop language skills long before they begin speaking.

    G. Now, researchers are knowing about what’s happening in the brains of the youngest language learners.
