Here is what I have been told of the matter.

     In the spring of 1842, Marguerite was so weak, so different in her looks, that the doctors had ordered her to take the waters. She therefore set out for Bagneres.

     Among the other sufferers there, was the Duke's daughter who not only had the same complaint but a face so like Marguerite's that they could have been taken for sisters.  The fact was that the young Duchess was in the third stage of consumption and, only days after Marguerite's arrival, she passed away.

     One morning the Duke, who had remained at Bagneres caught sight of Marguerite as she turned a corner of a gravel walk.

It seemed as though he was seeing the spirit of his dead child and, going up to her, he took both her hands, embraced her tearfully and, without asking who she was, begged permission to call on her and to love in her person the living image of his dead daughter.

      Marguerite, alone at Bagneres with her maid, and in any case having nothing to lose by compromising herself, granted the Duke what he asked.

      Now there were a number of people at Bagneres who knew her, and they made a point of calling on the Duke to inform him of Marguerite's true situation. It was a terrible blow for the old man, for any resemblance with his daughter stopped there. But it was too late. The young woman had become an emotional necessity, his only excuse and his sole reason for living.

    He did not criticize her, he had no right to, but he did ask her if she felt that she could change her way of life, and, in exchange for this sacrifice, he would offer all the compensations she could want. She agreed.

It should be said that at this point Marguerite, who was by nature somewhat highly strung(excited and nervous), was seriously ill. Her past appeared to her to be one of the major causes of her illness, and a kind of superstition(迷信) led her to hope that God would allow her to keep her beauty and her health in exchange for her regret and shame.

And indeed the waters, the walks, healthy fatigue and sleep had almost restored her fully by the end of that summer.

      The Duke accompanied Marguerite to Paris, where he continued to call on her as at Bagneres.

      This connection, of which the true origin and true motive were known to no one,  gave rise here to a great deal of talk, since the Duke, known till now as an enormously wealthy man,  now began to acquire a name for the prodigality(挥霍).

67. Why did the Duke take Marguerite’s both hands when he saw her?

A. His daughter and Marguerite were once good friends.

B. Marguerite is his daughter’s spirit.

C. Marguerite resembles his daughter.

D. They haven’t seen each other for long.

68. What’s the right order of the events?

a. The Duke accompanied Marguerite to Paris.

　　All research to date on body image shows that women are much more critical of their appearance than men, much less likely to admire what they see in the mirror. Up to 8 out of 10 women are dissatisfied with their reflection(映象) and more than half may see a distorted(扭曲的) image. Men looking in the mirror are likely to be either pleased with what they see or indifferent(淡漠). Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women, if anything they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness. Some men looking into the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.

　　Why are so much more self-critical than men? Because women are judged on their appearance more then men, and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more flexible. Women are continually bombarded with images of the “ideal” face. And constant exposure to idealized(理想化) images of female beauty on TV , magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal(不正常的) and ugly. It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence(青春期).

　　Also, most women are trying to achieve the impossible. Standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century. In 1917, the physically perfect woman was about 5ft4 in height. Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average woman, now they weigh 23% less .The current media(媒介) ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population and that's just in terms of weight and size. If you want the ideal shape , face , etc, it's probably like 1% .

1．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

[　　]

A．explain a phenomenon(现象)

B．compare two facts

C．make a suggestion

D．strengthen a current they

2．The difference between men and women when they look into the mirror is that ________.

[　　]

A．women stay longer then men before the mirror

B．women feel more comfortable about their appearance than men

C．women, more than men, come away from the mirror feeling unsatisfied

D．women's looks before the mirror appear more distorted than men's

3．The underlined part “bombarded with ”( in Para. 3 ) could be beat replaced by ________.

[　　]

4．Which of the following can be inferred about the physically perfect woman in 1917?

[　　]

A．She was rat very much different from the average woman.

B．She was hardly achievable by the female population.

C．She looked into the mirror more then women today.

D．She was regarded as perfect only in terms of her face.
