Artisan Gallery & Creamery Caf are open daily for 4 hoursC There is a saying Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What

16、 one person considers beauty may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other

17、 senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight (深刻的了解) or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance. The most memorable beautiful people are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces.In one

18、 of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls, Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slim figures. But Lin was used to getting her own way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty in a ma

19、tter-of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin. Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have beauty have attained inner

20、 peace. They care about their fellowmen, and try to right the injustices in this world. Two well-known personalities who are typical examples of this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa. Mot

21、her Theresas mission is to help the poorest of the worlds poor. This inner beauty makes the world a better place.8.

Beauty is a perfect face and a slender figure.B. Beauty is something that pleases the eyes.C. Beauty is an att

24、ractive personality behind the pretty faces. D. Inner beauty doesnt attract people.DStudies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you dont look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10

25、minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If youre married, youre going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If youre un

26、married, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, its because you agreed to get lied to. In other words, the truth about lying: lying is a cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes were willing to lie for the sake of social dignity , maybe to keep a private

27、secret.Lying is complex. It is woven into the fabric of our daily and business lives. Were deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we dont understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. Were against lying, but secretly w

28、ere for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. Its as old as breathing. Its part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.Lying has great value to the evolution of human being. Researchers have long known that

29、 the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We human like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see whos coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Two-year-olds bluff (虚张声势). Five-y
