foot. it was still not getting the 41 supply it needed. the doctors would have to speed up their treatment.never before did i have such great 42 for my foot. and walking seemed like a 43 from the gods. less and less would i want to hear my friends talk about 44 and who was wearing what. more and more i expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.one girl came to visit me 45 . every time she came, she brought flowers. she was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and 46 the other patients.she still had no hair, and she was swollen

spans centuries and continents. paintings of egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. in 8th-centuryfrance, 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 attractive：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 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 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 narrow waist. according to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits the 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, say c. loring brace, an anthropologist at 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 varies 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 be 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.51. peoples ideas about beauty _a. have existed since ancient times b. can be easily describedc. have little influence on a persons success d. are based upon strict criteria52. in paragraph 3, the babies in the study _.a. were rated for their appearance b. were entered in a beauty contestc. were shown photos of a group of college studentsd. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones53. a skinny woman in southeast peru is more likely to be considered as _ by the localsa. unattractive b. charming c. unknown d. ordinary54. we can learn from the passage that _a. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up b. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidencec. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesd. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds bas you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. it is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as yon need. you almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. they feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.six percent of workers in britain took the decision to downshift last year. one couple who downshifted is daniel and liz. they used to work in central london. he was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. they would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. most evenings daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to new york for meetings. they both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of wales. i always wanted to have a farm hen, says daniel, and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it. we have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. however, i think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.liz, however, is not quite sure. i used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. im not really a country girl, but i suppose im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. one thing i do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. my advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.55. what do the first two paragraphs tell us?a. people seldom work long hours to make money.b. people hardly buy more things than necessary.c. people are sure everything they own is in the right place.d. people realize there is more to life than just making money.56. when daniel was a reporter he _.a. lived in central london b. disliked his jobc. missed his children d. was well paid57. people who downshifts probably means the ones _.a. repairing their car by themselves b. spending money carefullyc. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifed. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week. 58. according to the last paragraph, liz thinks the downshifting_. a. disapproving b. comfortable c. acceptable d. discouragingcas we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that weve yet to get around to. yet re-readers are everywhere around us. for certain fans, re-reading the lord of the rings is a conventional practice annually. one friend told me that jane austens emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times. new sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. journalist rebacca mead, a long-time englishwoman in new york, first came across george eliots middlemarch at 17. since then, she has read it again every five years. with each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. these kinds of books grow with us.scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. research conducted with readers in the us found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. second time round, were able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. as researcher cristel russell of the american university explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”its true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if were fond of making notes on the pages). these texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. were changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience by the books that weve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.more so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. a book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.perhaps whats really strange is that we dont re-read more often. after all, we watch our favorite films again and we wouldnt think of listening to an album only once. we treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. a book, of course, takes up more time, but as mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.59. the two books are mentioned in paragraph 1 mainly to _. a. attract the attention of readers b. introduce the topic of the passage c. provide some background information d. show the similarity between re-readers60. the underlined expression “crack their spines” in paragraph 2 refers to _. a. recite themb. re-read themc. recall themd. retell them61. it can be learned from the passage that _. a. reading benefits people both mentally and physically b. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading c. we know ourselves better through re-reading experience d. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do62. the purpose of the passage is to _. a. call on different understandings of old books b. focus on the mental health benefits of reading c. bring awareness to the significance of re-reading d. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksdwhen people reunite
