beautythe search for beauty spans（跨度） centuries and continentspaintings of egyptians dating back over 4，000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeupin 18th-century france，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发）of long，white hair to make themselves attractivetoday，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 powerstudies 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 itand our awareness of it may start at a very early agein one set of studies，six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographsthe faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college studentsin 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 researchersin 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 waistaccording 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 ideas can be changed by all sorts of expectations mostly cultural， says c loring brace，an anthropologist at the university of michiganwhat is considered attractive in one culture might not be in anotherlook at most western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thinbut 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 livesbut it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to anotheralthough 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.28peoples ideas about beauty _.a have existed since ancient timesb can be easily describedc have little influence on a persons successd are based upon strict standard.29in paragraph 3，the babies in the study _.a were rated for their appearanceb were entered in a beauty contestc were shown photos of a group of college studentsd were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones30the underlined word “traits” in paragraph 4 probably means _.a qualitiesb measurementsc judgmentsd standards31we 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 based on scientific researchesd the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgroundsdyour car is a necessary part of your life. you use it every day. of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer（防雷控制系统）. but despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. in fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! and if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.each year, car crime costs nearly 3 billion. of course, if youre insured, you wont lose out, or will you? firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. you will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories (配件) in the car.now comes the solution. an rac trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations in your car, is the key of our system. if your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the rac trackstar national control center via a satellite network. then a computer gives the vehicles exact location, speed and direction.the rac trackstar national control center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicles location. once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.rac trackstar is unique in being able to provide the national control center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. and speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. rac trackstar control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour guardian option. it will also tell you if your car has been stolen. rac trackstars constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the cars location. all these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again.32 if your car is stolen, you will have to _.a. hire a new carb. pay more insurancec. buy a rac trackstar systemd. inform the national control center33the trackstar system can tell the police _.a. how the car is stolen b. who the thief isc. what brand the car is d. where the car is34the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _.a. the local police stationb. the guardian optionc. the insurance companyd. the rac trackstar control35according to the passage, people with rac trackstar _.a. automatically find directionsb. seldom get their vehicles damagedc. have less chance of being in an accidentd. are more likely to get the stolen cars
