Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman who is considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly”qualifies required.
(上接第31期第8版)
This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
60.The word “liability” most probably means ______.
A. disadvantage B. advantage
C. misfortune D. trouble
61.Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness______
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. affects men and women alike
62.It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often______.
A. practical B. prejudiced
C. old–fashioned D. supportive
63.The author writes this passage to ________.
A.give advice to job - seekers who are attractive
B.discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C.demand equal rights for women
D.state the importance of appearance
C
It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising con?鄄tinuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years.What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do, one might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does .When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability(稳定)of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible.Inflation therefore simply simulates(刺激)our spending and discourages saving.
64.From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.
A. everyone’s incomes rise
B. money will hold its value
C. we can watch our money grow
D. money constantly loses its value
65.In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.
A. inflation maybe still be a problem
B. we have nothing to worry about
C. inflation is no longer a problem
D. we will become richer and richer
66.Under inflation people are likely to ________.
A. go to the bank more often than usual
B. save more money since their incomes rise
C. spend money quickly rather than to save it
D. keep money at home instead of going to banks
67.We can conclude according to the passage that ________.
A.the writer is a government official
B.the writer is worried about inflation
C.the writer encourages people to spend money
D. the writer has become richer because of inflation
D
“Most experiences of absent-mindedness ,forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room , are caused by a simple lack of attention, ” says Schacter. “You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded(编码) it deeply.”
Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impression on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create troublesome situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your cupboard. “ Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter, “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.”
Lack of interest can also lead to absent -mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, ” says Zelinski, “ may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.”Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that.
“Visual cues(视觉提示)can help prevent absent--mindedness, ”says Schacter, “But be sure the cue is clear and available. ”If you want to remember to take a medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.
Another common experience of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time, ”says Zelinski. “The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.”
68.The writer of the passage thinks that encoding properly is very important because ________.
A. it enables us to recall something from our memory
B. it slows down the process of losing our memory
C. it helps us understand our memory system better
D. it helps us to get back to where we were
69.One possible reason why women have a little better memories than men is that________.
A. they rely more on the environment
B. they have a wider range of interests
C. they have an unusual power of focusing their attention
D. they are more interested in what’s happening around them
70.Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder? ________.
A. It will easily get lost
B. It is out of your sight
C. It’s not clear enough for you to read
D. It might get mixed up with other things
71.From the last paragraph we can learn that________.
A. repetition might help improve our memory
B. memory depends to a certain extent on the environment
C. we’d better return to where we were if we forget things
D. we should think about something else while doing one thing
72.The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the memory system of persons
B. a way of encoding and recalling
C. the causes of absent-mindedness
D.the impression of the environment on memory

What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
73.In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part - time job is probably ________.
A. a good way to find out his weak points
B.one of the best ways of earning extra money
C.of great use for his work in the future
D.a waste of time he could have spent on study
74.In the passage “You may be all thumbs when you handle tools” probably means____
A. You know nothing about how to handle tools.
B. You know everything about how to handle tools.
C.You are not good enough at your school subjects.
D. regret not having worked harder at school and don’t know how to handle tools.
75.The whole passage centers around ________.
A.knowing oneself in looking for a job
B.developing one’s abilities useful in school
C.gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D.choosing a career according to what one is skilled in

Everyone needs friends. A good personal relationship is especially important with the development of modern society, so how to make true friends is very important to anybody.
To make friends, you must be friendly to others. A smile is like a magnet that draws people.Smile at others and you are always sure to get a smile in return.You should do your best to make a stranger feel at home, no matter where he happens to be. Think as you are in his position and make him feel welcome. And don’t judge a stranger only by his appearance.
Try to remember others’ names, which will make them feel that they have made an impression on you.
If you don’t agree with others on certain matter, don’t argue but discuss with them.
You should think more of others than of yourselves.
Finally,don’t believe those who leave their friends when they are in trouble because, as the saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.
