chinese para. 1a when i casually mentioned to a colleague that i was looking into skin cream that claimed to beat back the destruction that comes with age, her worries poured out. a month ago, she told me, she had suddenly noticed wrinkles all over her face. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese question 1 para. 1b fingering her beautiful but finely lined features, she explained that, although she knew that her discovery had more to do with the shock resulting from the sudden end of a six-year relationship than early ageing, she just had to do something about it. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese question 2 para. 2 giving her the painful facts concerning her chance to renew herself, i told her i thought the claims of such miracle cures were ridiculous. despite my remarks, however, she begged to know where she could get the treatments i had mentioned. when it comes to beauty, who wants to know the truth? n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 3a our ability to believe what we want to has, in the past, made life easy for the beauty industry. fuelled by the immense value attached to youth, it has made millions out of vacant promises of renewing faces and bodies. to give skincare scientific authority, beauty counters have now stolen a thin covering of respectability from the hospital clinic. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 3b sales staff in white coats “diagnose” skin types on “computers” and blind customers with the science of damaged molecules and dna repair. providing the “drugs” for this game, the industry has created new skin therapies, which, they say, dont just sit on the surface but actually interact with the cells. question 3 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 4 is this really just a harmless game, though? the increasingly exaggerated claims made by manufacturers about their products ability to get rid of wrinkles have worried doctors. the advertisements declare that active ingredients stimulate cells deep in the skins layers to divide, so replacing old cells and effectively renewing the skin. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 5a if these claims are true, could the effects be harmful? if normal cells can be stimulated to divide, then abnormal ones could also be prompted to multiply, so causing or accelerating skin cancer. a new arrival on the anti -wrinkle front claims to be a more natural way to avoid those terrible lines. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 5b as a pill rather than a cream, imedeen works from the inside out, providing the skin with nutritional and chemical support to encourage the bodys own self-repairing process. question 4 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 6 first developed in scandinavia, it contains extracts of fish, marine plants, and shrimp shells, which provide a formula including proteins, minerals, and vitamins. according to a published study, visible improvements appear in the skin texture after two or three months of treatment. the skin is softer, smoother, wrinkles decrease but are not eliminated, and marks and fine brow lines disappear. question 5 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 7 one woman admits she was doubtful until she tried imedeen herself. women, she believes, should take responsibility for the natural balance of their body chemistry. careful care of the body chemistry, she says, not only improves looks but also enhances energy processes and even expands awareness and mental function. imedeen fits this concept by providing for the skins needs. but can shrimp shells really do the trick with wrinkles? n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 8 offering a more scientific interpretation, brian newman, a british surgeon who has studied imedeen, explains that the compound has a specific action as food is digested, preventing the destruction of essential proteins in the diet and allowing them to be absorbed in a state more easily utilized by the skin. question 6 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 9 on the other hand, a different doctor who specializes in the study of the skin is unimpressed by the data and questions the methods used in the study. in addition, the medical journal in which the study of imedeen is published is a “pay” journal one in which any studies can be published for a fee. according to the doctor, any attempt to play by the medical worlds rules of research has been a failure. question 7 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 10 such controversy is familiar ground to brian newman, who used a type of oil from flowers for years before it was generally accepted. in no way discouraged, he insists the most important point to establish is that imedeen actually works. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 11a ultimately, however, the real issue is why we are so afraid of wrinkles in the first place. sadly, youth and beauty have become the currency of our society, buying popularity and opportunity. the value of age and experience is denied, and women in particular feel the threat that the visible changes of ageing bring. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 11b according to one psychological expert, when men gain a little gray hair, their appeal often increases because, for them, age implies power, success, wealth, and position. but as a womans power is still strongly perceived to be tied up to her ability to bear children, ageing demonstrates to the world her decline, her uselessness for her primary function. wrinkles are symbolic of the decline of her ability to reproduce. n h c e back 课文自测技巧 passage readingpassage reading 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 阅读理解 chinese para. 12 until we appreciate the true value of age, it is difficult to do anything but panic when the signs of it emerge. while the media continues to show men of all ages alongside young, smooth- skinned women as a vision of success, women will go on investing in pots of worthless rubbish. lets see more mature, wrinkled women in attractive, successful, happy roles and lets see men fighting to be with them. question 8 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 reading comprehensionreading comprehension 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 课文阅读 choice making directions: decide whether the following statements are true (t) or false (f) according to the text. 1. the writers colleague wants to find skin cream to beat back the destruction resulting from her early ageing. 2. the writer thinks that when it comes to beauty, people dont care much whether beauty products are effective or not. t f refer to para. 1b refer to para. 2 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 reading comprehensionreading comprehension 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 课文阅读 3. the beauty industry attempts to attract customers by giving its staff a professional image. 4. imedeen mentioned in paragraph 5 is a product in the form of a cream working on the skin. 5. according to a published study, imedeen is visibly effective in improving skin texture after immediate treatment. t f refer to para. 3b refer to para. 5b refer to para. 6 f n h c e back 课文自测技巧 reading comprehensionreading comprehension 词汇学习 问题预览 随 笔 课文阅读 6. brian newman believes that imedeen may work because it contains vital proteins. 7. it is implied that the study of imedeen published in a medical journal is not reliable. 8. the writer believes women will keep on investing in beauty products as long as the media continues to show men of all ages companied by young smooth-skinned women as an image of success. f t t refer to para. 8 refer to para. 9 refer to para. 12 n h c e test yourself aa bb long conversations in-depth reading 课文自测技巧 n h c e in this section, you will hear 3 long conversations. at the end of each conversation, 3 or 4 questions will be asked about what was said. both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. after each question there will be a pause. during the pause, you must read the four choices marked a), b), c) and d), and decide which is the best answer. long conversationslong conversations directions back 课文自测技巧 12345678910 随 笔 深层阅读 n h c e back 课文自测技巧 12345678910 questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you are going to hear. q. 1. a) in a studio. b) in a clothing store. c) at a beach resort. d) at a fashion show. q.: where does this talk most probably take place?
