Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4, 000 years show both men
11、and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attr
12、active: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beauty? Its difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early
13、 age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even
14、babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the min
15、d unconsciously tells men and women that these traitsthe full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders equal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations mostly cultural,” says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist at
16、 the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin. But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide Scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and vari
17、es around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to b
18、e certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.21. Peoples ideas about beauty _.A. have existed since ancient times B. can be easily described
19、C. have little influence on a persons success D. are based upon strict standard22.

We can learn from the passage that _.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are b
21、ased on scientific researchesD. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds BThe Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed (固定的)to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tour
22、ists, but even better attended by locals (当地人).During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different n
23、ations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns (喇叭)and beat drums (鼓)as they dance in diff
24、erent designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair： their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the
25、camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horse race. All the riders run very fast on the horseback. Some riders hang off the
26、 side of their saddles (座垫).Some even ride upside down their legs and feet straight up in the air all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses.

31、refullykept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place.
