Who are the most beautiful women in the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin America, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term “Miss” as in “Miss Universe” is an honored title.
These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on women’s looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride. And in Venezuela, they are almost a national obsession(狂热).
Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,” says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. “It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.” Preparing for a contest is a full-time job that includes sixteen-hour days for six months. Many of the women take a leave of absence from their jobs during the training period. “If you don’t take this seriously, you don’t have a chance.” Selena says.
The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?” They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply makeup. Most of them grow their hair long and diet to lose at least 10 pounds. Many of them have their teeth straightened or have plastic surgery (整形外科手术) to straighten or fix other body parts.
It isn’t easy, and the contestants give up a lot for the contest. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost is high as well. The training for the Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe contests can cost up to $ 60,000. Fortunately the television station that sponsors (赞助) the contest pays the costs of training the finalists. Yet most of the contestants say it’s worth the effort. A former Miss Universe is now a mayor of a district in a large city. Although she had no political experience before that, she has been asked to run for higher political office.
Another winner has her own television show. Winners have an advantage they could not get anywhere else. “It’s the only chance you have to make it.” Says one contestant. “You can’t get these opportunities any other way.”
61. From the above passage we can infer that Venezuela is probably____.
A. a place where contestants from all parts of the world gather together
B. a city in America where beauty contest is held
C. a country in Latin America
D. a world beauty center
62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Contestants have to stay away from their work for a period of time before the contest.
B. Only a few women won the contest without being trained.
C. Beauty isn’t the only factor for a contestant to win the contest.
D. It’s too expensive for individuals (个人) to pay for the training for the contest.
63. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Beauty Means Money
B. Venezuelan Women — the Most Beautiful Women in the World
C. How to Succeed in the Beauty Contest
D. Training — the Only Way to Success

Growing up together in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. "Do you think I've somehow offended her?" Fry asked her husband.
Turner, meanwhile, had thought she was no longer important to Fry. "She's got a family now," she told herself. "We're just too different to be close like before."
Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together, laughing and sharing confidences.
"Thank goodness I finally took action," Fry says. "We both realized we were as important to each other as ever."
There are good reasons to value our friendships. Once a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked(高于)homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
“A stable friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction and keeps us connected,” says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. "It is what we should protect." However, says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University, "The better friends you are, the more likely you'll face conflicts." And even the result can be what you don't want--an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. Here's what experts suggest:
◆Swallow your pride.
◆Apologize when you're wrong--even if you've also been wronged.
◆See things from your friend's point of view.
◆Accept that friendships change.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy, says Yager. The hard part is keeping the connections strong and long. Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and develop.
71.The first paragraph is written mainly to_______.
A.complain something to her husband
B.show Lisa Fry missed her friend
C.show family is more important than friendship
D.introduce the topic to be discussed
72.The underlined word “awkward” in the third paragraph probably means______.
A.uncomfortable B.uninteresting C.convenient D.relaxed
73.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?
A.Once friendship is broken, there is no way to be repaired.
B.People don’t value friendship over other things
C.The more and better friends we make, the happier we are.
D.Lisa Fry and Paula Turner were as important to each other as ever.
74.Experts suggest that_________.
A.Making friends should be no difficult experience.
B.We should consider things for our friends first
C.We should not have to apologize if it is not our fault
D.Friendship should be one-way process and worth our effort.
75.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A.A Broken Friendship
B.Opinions on Friendship and Friends
C.What Is Good Friendship?
