Why do we care so much about how we look？ Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape.
Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author.
As children, beautiful people are more likely to become favorites with parents and teachers. Later, they’re more likely to get good jobs and promotion. Beautiful lawyers get paid more than their less attractive colleagues. Good-looking criminals are more likely to win the sympathy of judges and juries. Attractive people in need are more likely to receive help from strangers.

A、she was one of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American history

A、We learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny.
B、We can be immune to beauty.
C、Aristotle meant beauty is the best recommendation.

A、beauty is powerful
B、beautiful children are favorites with parents and teachers
C、beautiful lawyers get higher pay than their homely colleagues

Why war then？
Some pessimistic historians think the whole society of man runs in cycles and that one of the phases is war. The optimists, on the other hand, think war is not like an eclipse (日食) or a flood or a spell of bad weather. They believe that it is more like a disease for which a cure could be found if the causes were known.
Because war is the ultimate drama of life and death stories and pictures of it are more interesting than those about peace. This is so true that all of us, and perhaps those of us in television more than most, are often caught up in the action of war to the exclusion of the ideas of it.
If it is true, as we would like to think it is, that our age is more civilized than ages past, we must all agree that it’s very strange that in the twentieth century, our century, we have killed more than 70 million of our fellowmen on purpose, at war. It is very strange that since 1900 more men have killed more other men than in any other seventy years in history.
Probably the reason we are able to do both, that is, believe on the one hand that we are more civilized and on the other hand wage war to kill ― is that killing is not so personal an affair as it once was. The enemy is invisible. One man doesn’t look another in the eye and run him through with a sword. The enemy dead or alive is largely unseen. He is killed by remote control: a loud noise, a distant puff of smoke and then silence.
The pictures of the victim’s wife and children, which he carries in his breast pocket, are destroyed with him. He is not heard to cry out. The question of compassion or pity or remorse does not enter into it. The enemy is not a man; he is a statistic. It is true, too, that more people are being killed at war now than previously because we’re better at doing it than we used to be. One man with one modern weapon can kill thousands.
6.In modern wars more people get killed because _____.
A、people are more cruel
B、people don’t care others’ lives
C、people have more advanced weapons
D、people are more civilized
7.In what way are we more civilized than the ancients？
A、We can kill more people.
B、We respect those people different from us.
C、We have more interesting stories of war.
D、We don’t think of killing as a personal affair anymore.
8.In modern war the enemy is treated as _____.
A、an animal
B、a victim
C、a man
D、a statistic without life
9.How is the enemy killed in modern war？
A、By an opponent running him through with a sword.
B、By a man who knows him well.
C、By remote control.
D、By a puff of smoke.
10.What is the attitude of the author toward war？
A、Negative.
B、Supportive.
C、Neutral.
D、Indifferent.

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？
LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully.
JOHN: And do you have any questions？
LORRIE: No．But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week．Will you have that many classes for me right away？
JOHN: No, probably not．For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month．Will you pay me that much for the first month？ Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.
JOHN: I understand．That's why I didn't write the date on the contract．For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach．When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect．Is that alright with you？
LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today．Is that right？
JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs．We are very serious about hiring you．We want you to teach for us．We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.
LORRIE: I can accept that.
JOHN: Good．And your benefits will begin immediately.
LORRIE: Even my health insurance？
JOHN: Yes．We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.
LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.
JOHN: What would you like to know？
LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members？ I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels？
JOHN: Absolutely．The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.
LORRIE: What are bar vouchers？
JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers．The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge．But we don't offer vouchers to employees.
LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.
JOHN: That's fight．So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members．You get more benefits than they do.
LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract．But we won't sign it yet．Is that right？
JOHN: Yes．I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.
LORRIE: I understand．And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job．I look forward to it.
JOHN: I'm very pleased．We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

It's Christmas again. We live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren't much good. You can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth (污秽) and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how？ The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a group of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn't eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer (阴沟).
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House (教育中心) isn’t rich, but she knows things, she understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you.

(5)There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one's time at university.(6)This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning.(7)He is immediately accepted by the university of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honour Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about.(8)It therefore becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice.Only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have, on the one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside of their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates qualified in subject for which there is little or no demand in the working world.

第10题
189. What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now？ We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair？ This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. [共5题]
