Black has long been praised for its ability to better women’s figures and suit every occasion. But the color has a side-effect—it ages the face.
While black does give the appearance of a slimmer figure by making the shadows less visible, wearing it next to the face brings out a negative effect. Black clothing can highlight (突出) dark lines under the chin, shadows around the eyes and wrinkles on the face. The effect can be as serious as making women feel exhausted, self-conscious and upset. Wrinkles and sunken areas appear deeper and more pronounced, meaning the effect is more obvious in older women.
Dark scarves, hats and high-collared coats are apparently particularly likely to emphasize aging features of the face. But fear not. The effect can be tempered by a splash of color around the neck—in the form of a scarf or a piece of jewelry—or a low neckline.
Famous actress Joan Collins is among the few who can get away with the side-effect. But those who should consider changing their dresses include many European stars. The majority of women who have what is known as a “warm” skin tone, based on yellow and gold colors, will not look young and healthy with black against their faces. Warm skins do not match well with black against their faces as it takes away all the golden glow that they have as a basic skin tone. Black looks for dark things on the face and highlights them, particularly as women age.
The good news for those who like black dress is that a simple test can help determine whether they can wear black well: Hold the color up against your face, stand in front of the mirror and look for dark lines under the chin, shadows around the eyes or lines on the face that are highlighted. If there are no dark areas or shadows, you can probably wear black close to your face and look great. Otherwise, change your ways.
1.According to the passage, wearing black clothes probably ________________.
A. makes the wearer less energetic
B. gives away the wearer’s age
C. darkens the wearer’s skin tone
D. makes the wearer feel confident
2.The underlined word “tempered” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _______________.
A. observed B. ignored C. weakened D. measured
3.We can infer from the passage that _______________.
A. high-collared coats are not suitable for warm-skinned women
B. a woman from eastern Asia may not look young with black against her face
C. men with deep wrinkles would look unhealthy in black
D. Joan Collins has a warm skin tone
4.The black dress will be probably suitable for you on condition that there are no ___________.
A. wrinkles on your face
B. dark circles around your eyes
C. sunken areas that are highlighted
D. dark areas or shadows on the face

Analysis of the composition of quicksand shows that there are four key ingredients—sand, obviously water, clay and salt. Together these materials form a structure resembling a house of cards, with large water-filled gaps between the sand particles, which are loosely glued in place by the clay. As long as it’s left alone, the structure remains stable. But as soon as it’s disturbed, by stepping on it, the clay changes from a jelly-like consistency to a runny liquid. The effect is the same as stirring a pot of yoghurt. Liquefying(溶解)the clay makes the quicksand about one million times runnier, and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down, with you inside it.
Very quickly, the sand sinks to the bottom and the water floats to the top. This is where the salt comes in. When there’s enough salt present, as soon as the clay particles liquefy, electrical charges make them begin to stick together to form bigger particles and these also settle with the sand. Quicksand is a mixture which looks like solid, but behaves more like a liquid.
Despite its murderous reputation, quicksand does not such people under and swallow them, although it can hold a person in firm grip. The human body is more buoyant(有浮力) in quicksand than in water, and sooner or later anyone trapped in it will float.
Unlike most liquids, quicksand’s viscosity, or “runniness” can suddenly change if it comes under pressure, for example under a human foot. The surface gives way and the victim quickly sinks in up to the knees, surrounded by an area of dirty things that turns semi-solid around its victim. Escaping from the quicksand’s grip(紧握) requires a large amount of force. Without something solid to pull at, people often find they are stuck fast. Pulling at one leg simply makes the other one sink further.
So how do you escape from quicksand’s control? Stay still and call for help. Staying still stops you sinking any further, until--with luck--help arrives on the scene. If no one appears and you need to draw yourself out, gently lie down on your back until your body is floating on the sand. Next, roll over onto your stomach and pull yourself forwards with your hands, so that you gradually “swim” towards firmer ground. It is a slow and dirty business, but it works.
This technique has one barrier: it goes against a very powerful human nature. Faced with danger in the open, nine out of ten stay on their feet so that they can run away, in which case it can worsen the situation.
1.Which ingredient of the quicksand make someone trapped in it stuck and stuck fast?
A. Sand B. Clay C. Water D. Salt
2.From the passage we can learn that ________
A. as long as you are strong enough, you can pull yourself up from quicksand on your own
B. clay glues sand particles loosely, which makes quicksand stable, unless it is disturbed
C. because anyone trapped in quicksand will float, there is little possibility of him dying
D. looking like solid ground, quicksand is actually liquid
3.If someone is trapped in quicksand, what should he do?
A. Remain calm and wave for help
B. Stand in quicksand and get ready to run away as quickly as possible
C. “Swimming” is one of the best choices he can use to escape
D. Once in quicksand, lie down on his stomach immediately and swim slowly to safety
4. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. A human killer--quicksand
B. How to escape from danger
C. An awful experience in quicksand
D. What to do if trapped in quicksand

Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
1.Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education.2. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? 3.. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books. You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4.. Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation. Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration.5.. But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
A. This is just one way.
B. The benefits will stay with you.
C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.
D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.
E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.
F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
