Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain Janes.
According to research by Dr John Blaine of the University of Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearances, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors or students.
Blaine said the beautiful felt different from childhood. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance(傲慢) and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents(才能) to make a living.
Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five” — the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism(神经过敏), including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向); openness to new experiences; agreeableness; and conscientiousness, or sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.
Krista Sutherland, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared, did not necessarily lead to happiness.
What does the underlined sentence “Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. ” means?
A. Beautiful women always felt lonely.
B. Beautiful women always were alone.
C. Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.
D. Beautiful women always lived a happy life.
The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refer to ________.
A. ordinary-looking women B. women called Jane
C. common people D. attractive women
We can infer in the passage that ________.
A. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a couple
B. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their life
C. When they fail in Hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a living
D. The marriage of the beautiful often last long
Which of the following is the best title?
A. Five key factors affecting the partnership B. Beauties are doomed to fail in love
C. Beauties or common? D. The beautiful are different.

Extreme sports and the movie Lord of the Rings are the two things that come to mind when one talks abut New Zealand today. But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning.
It’s a long narrow country, but its vineyards (葡萄园)are mostly around three regions, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay and Marlborough.
It was not until the 1980s that New Zealand wines drew the attention of the world with what is now a fashionable classic wine: Cloudy Bay. It was snapped up as it appeared on wine menus in Hong Kong restaurants during the early 1990s. This success was followed by the growing popularity of a wide range of wines from other New Zealand estates(庄园)such as Esk Vally, Villa Maria and Grove Mill. Since then, several other wine growing regions in other countries have tried to copy the New Zealand style without much success.
The New Zealanders were good at white wines right from their early days, but their red wines, too, were catching the fancy of the drinking public. One example of just how fast and sure that happened is Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island. The little island, which is just a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland, had only 13 wineries ten years ago. Kim and Jeanette Goldwater set it up as the Goldwater holiday home, with wine making as a hobby, in 1982. But demand soon made them turn that hobby into a business.
Encouraged by family and friends, they decided to take their wine production a step further and entered the commercial market. In 1991, they took their wines to the International Wine Competition in New York and won a Gold Medal.
67. What does the author mean by saying “But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning” in Paragraph I ?
A．New Zealand today is different from what it was in the past.
B．Different people have different opinions on New Zealand’s sports and films.
C．New Zealand is famous for good wines to wine lovers in the world.
D．New Zealand is well known for is sports and movies.
68. Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island is given as an example show that________.
A．Goldwater Estate is not very far from Auckland
B．Goldwater won great success as a holiday home to New Zealanders
C．the red wines of the New Zealanders are on their way to success
D．encouragement from family and friends can lead to gold medals
69. The underlined phrase “snapped up” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”
A．refused B．removed C．sold out D．wiped out
70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Vineyards can be seen everywhere across the long narrow country.
B．New Zealand wines first won their place in the world with Cloudy Bay.
C．Kim and Jeanette Goldwater took wine making as a hobby at first.
D．Wine production from Goldwater was popular with the drinking public.
