1.To love beauty is to see light. —Victor Hugo
爱美就是要看到光明。 ——维可多·雨果
2.A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness. —John Keats
美好的事物永远是一种快乐:它的可爱与日俱增;它永远不会变成虚无。 ——约翰·济兹
3.A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears. —Anne Roiphe
不管一个女人穿着什么,只要她微笑着,神情愉悦,那就是一种美。 ——安妮·罗菲
4.Beauty awakens the soul to act. —Dante Alighieri
美唤醒灵魂去行动。 ——但丁·阿利吉耶里
5.Beauty has a lot to do with character. —Kevyn Aucoin
美丽与性格有很大的关系。 ——凯文·奥库安
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(不受影响),beauty exerts (施加)its power over us.There is simply no escape.
There are more important things in life than beauty.But as Etcoff says,“We have to understand beauty,or we will always be enslaved by it.”If you aim to be wise and kind and funny,it doesn't mean that you can't also try your best to look beautiful.There's no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty's power.It moves us all.
It's hard to give the concept of being charming.In general,to be charming means to possess an attractive personality.There is no unchanging secret to be charming,but a positive change in your thinking can get great benefits.
If you want to learn to be charming,you have to learn the art of politeness.Nobody likes someone who is rude and bad tempered all the time,and if you are cordial(热情友好的)and polite to people around you they will obviously appreciate your presence.
Sincerity is the key to becoming charming.If you genuinely wish to win people over and appear charming in their eyes,you need to genuinely feel what you say to them.
The most charming men and women have the ability to make people laugh.Everyone loves to be humorous as it can greatly remove the despair or sadness in everyone's lives.

[例文] This month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set off for grandparents' homes,sleep away camps and lifeguard stands.But summer vacation hasn't always been a birthright of U.S.schoolchildren.Before the Civil War,schools operated on one of two calendars (日历),neither of which included a summer vacation.Rural (农村的)schooling was divided into summer and winter terms,leaving kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons.Urban students,meanwhile,regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a year,with one break per quarter. 直接信息题一般能在文中直接找到明确的信息,往往只考查文章中的个别事实,通常只涉及原文一两句话的信息。也就是说,命题者设置的题目比较直接,理解字面意思即可作答。根据文章中的第三、四两句可知,在美国南北战争前,美国的农村学校让学生们帮助春种秋收,即帮助父母干农活。故答案选D。

B.Take a break each quarter.
C.Have 48 weeks of study a year.
D.Assist their parents with farm work.

以上句子中,1-3为从属连词引导的主语从句;4-6为连接代词引导的主语从句;7-8为连接副词引导的主语从句。
[归纳用法]
一、主语从句的概述
在复合句中充当主语成分的句子叫作主语从句。主语从句可直接放在句首,也可用形式主语it代替,而将主语从句后置。
二、主语从句的引导词
1.从属连词 that, whether, if等。
2.连接代词 who, whose, whom, which, what, whoever, whomever, whichever, whatever等。
3.连接副词 when, where, why, how, whenever,however,wherever等。
三、主语从句的用法
1.that引导的主语从句
(1)that引导主语从句时只起连接作用,在从句中不作任何成分,没有实际意义。但是that不能省略。
That we need more equipment is obvious.
显然,我们需要更多的设备。
That she won the game made us very happy.
她赢得了比赛令我们非常高兴。
[名师点津] 从句作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。
(2)在that引导的主语从句中,常用it作形式主语,that引导的主语从句后置,常见的此类句型有:
①It+be+形容词(obvious, natural, surprising, possible, likely, important, necessary等)+that从句
It is certain that she will do well in her exam.
可以肯定她会考得很好。
It is obvious that you have made a big mistake.
很明显你犯了一个大错。
[名师点津] 在句型It+be+形容词+that从句中,如果形容词为necessary, important等,主语从句要用虚拟语气。即:It is necessary/important that+主语+(should)+动词原形+其他.
It is necessary that a college student (should) master one or two foreign languages.
大学生掌握一两门外语是非常有必要的。
It is important that he (should) attend every day.

据报道,事故中没有乘客受伤。
It is generally considered that boys are better at science than girls.
人们普遍认为男孩比女孩更擅长理科。
[名师点津] 如果过去分词为表示建议、命令、要求等的词(suggested,advised,ordered,requested,insisted,demanded等),从句用虚拟语气,谓语动词的形式为“(should)+动词原形”。
It is suggested that you(should) spend more time in studying English.
建议你花更多的时间学习英语。

It happened that I was away when he called.
他来电话时我碰巧不在。
It occurred to me that we should get in touch with the manager.
我突然想起我们应该和经理联系。
2.whether引导的主语从句
whether引导的主语从句既可放在句首,也可放在句末(前面需用it作形式主语)。whether意为“是否”,只起连接作用,在句中不作成分,且不可省略。
Whether we will go for an autumn outing is not sure.
=It is not sure whether we will go for an autumn outing.
我们是否要去秋游还没定下来。

他刚才说的是真的。

无论谁触犯了法律都会受到惩罚。
[名师点津] ①whoever和whatever引导的主语从句一般不用it作形式主语。
②what引导主语从句并在从句中作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数;what引导主语从句并在从句中作宾语时,谓语动词的单复数由谓语动词后面名词的数决定。

Ever since I was little, I've been larger than other girls.For a long time, this really bothered me.People would stare at me because I was “big” and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove me to try every means possible to lose weight , including dieting and weight loss pills, but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health.Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus size model, Tess Holliday.Although she's larger than most other models, she's really attractive and has the confidence to be herself—even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes.Her story changed my ideas about what it means to be beautiful.I realised that my health, mental and physical, is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of times a week but just to keep fit .I mean, isn't it better that I'm large and happy, instead of skinny and unhealthy

译文参考
一切都关于“我”!
“我”。这个小小的字有着十分丰富的含义,对于我们每个人来说,这个意义就像我们的外表一样是因人而异的。通过采访,我能够发现“我”对其他意味着什么,以及他们如何学会欣赏自己的美。
心理学家 哈特博士
杰德,24岁,会计经理
正如《丑女贝蒂》中的一首歌中所唱的,“这是个看脸的世界”。我比大多数人都更能理解这句话的含义,因为我一直相貌平平。我是个爱美的女孩。好吧,谁不是呢?所以,自从我发现自拍软件能消除我的雀斑,拉大眼睛,甚至削尖下巴,我就用上瘾了。我每天会花数小时修我的自拍照,发照片,并频繁地打开手机,迫切地查看评论。照片的每个“赞”都会增强我的自信。爸爸觉得我太自恋,但我的解释是,我的照片没伤害其他人,管它呢?
哈特博士说:
沉迷于修饰上传网络的照片,其实是缺乏自信和渴望关注的表现。不管怎样,杰德呈现给别人想要博取赞美的形象,都是虚假的。那些把自己包装成别人的人,只会对自己产生错误的判断。
安东尼,21岁,大学生
我向来不关心自己的外表。这就是为什么我永远无法理解我姐姐,她有17支口红,每天早上都不知道该用哪支好。我以前只有五条一模一样的裤子和五件一模一样的衬衫。当我第一次搬进大学宿舍时,室友看到我每天穿同样的衣服都十分困惑不解。上个月,他们给我在一个叫《全新的你》的电视节目中报了名。我最初感觉很奇怪。我不喜欢被人从头到脚地打量。但经过一番装扮之后,我被自己的美貌震惊了!我人生中第一次发现,原来自己也可以是个英俊又体面的年轻人。在那一刻,我意识到外在美并非毫无价值。它可以表达我们的个性,也有助于我们给他人留下良好、积极的印象。
哈特博士说:
内在美固然重要,但也不能完全忽视外在美。外在美在我们呈现给世界的形象中扮演着重要的角色,努力提升你的外表可以给别人留下积极的第一印象,增强你的自信。
埃玛,17岁,高中生
从小我就比其他女孩块头大。很长一段时间,我都为此深受困扰。仅仅因为我“块头大”,别人就会盯着我看,我讨厌自己的样子。内心的焦虑促使我尝试各种减肥方法,包括节食和吃减肥药,但是这样做毫无作用,反而给我带来了痛苦和不健康的身体。有一天,我偶然读到大号模特特丝·霍利迪的成功故事,一切都发生了转变。虽然特丝比大多数模特块头都大,但她真的魅力十足,并且有信心做自己——即使是在这个对美的概念有着刻板印象的行业。她的故事改变了我对美的看法。我意识到,自己身心健康才是最重要的。现在,我每周锻炼几次,只是为了保持健康。我的意思是,我壮实且快乐着,总比瘦却不健康要好得多吧?
哈特博士说:
我完全赞同埃玛——健康的才是美丽的,我们应该自信地接受这种美丽。我真正钦佩的是她承认健康不仅使我们更美丽而且使我们更快乐!

Esmeralda and Quasimodo were still for several moments, as they considered their predicament in silence⑦, she so graceful, he so repulsive.Every moment Esmeralda discovered some fresh defect in Quasimodo, as her glance travelled from his knock knees to his hunched back, from his hunched back to his single eye.How anyone could be formed in such a way was beyond her comprehension⑧.Yet there was so much melancholy and so much gentleness spread over all this that she gradually adjusted to⑨ it.
He was the first to break the silence⑩.“So you were telling me to return?”
She moved her head, and said, “Yes.”
He understood the motion of the head.“But!” he said, as though hesitating whether to finish, “I am—I am deaf.”
“Poor wretch!” exclaimed Esmeralda, with an expression of heartfelt compassion .
He began to smile sadly.
“You suppose that was all that I was missing, do you not Yes, I am deaf, that is the way I am made.It is horrible, is it not, next to your exquisite beauty!”
There lay in the accents of the unfortunate man so significant an awareness of his sadness that she had not the strength to utter a syllable.[2]In any case , he would not have heard her.He continued:

“Never have I viewed my ugliness as at the present moment.[3]When I compare myself to you, I feel an immense pity for myself, poor unfortunate monster that I am! Be honest, to you I must resemble some savage creature.You, you are a ray of sunshine, a drop of dew, a birdsong, whilst I am something terrible, neither human nor beast.I don't know what I am, as I am coarser, more downtrodden, and plainer than a pebble!”[4]

Then he began to laugh, and that laugh was the most heartbreaking sound in the world.He continued:
“Yes, I am deaf, but you shall talk to me with your hands as my master talks to me, and then I shall quickly know your wishes from the movement of your lips, from your expression.”
“ Well! ” she smiled, “Explain to me why you rescued me.”
He watched her intently while she was speaking.
“I understand,” he replied.“You ask me why I rescued you.You have forgotten an unfortunate person who attempted to kidnap you one night, this same person to whom you showed kindness when he was being punished.A drop of water and a little pity—that is more than I can repay with my life.You have forgotten that unfortunate soul, but he remembers it.”
She listened to him with profound tenderness.A tear swam in the eye of Quasimodo, but did not fall.He seemed to make it a point of honour to keep it at bay.

巴黎圣母院
《巴黎圣母院》于1831年出版。它讲述了一个发生在巴黎的悲惨故事。埃斯梅拉达的美使无数男人为她倾倒。这些倾慕者中有一个人派驼背卡西莫多去绑架埃斯梅拉达。但卡西莫多失败了,在公共场合被捕并遭受酷刑。埃斯梅拉达听到他对水的呼唤,怜悯之心油然而生。她给卡西莫多递上水,这不仅拯救了他的生命,也俘获了他的心。后来当埃斯梅拉达因莫须有的罪名被判死刑时,卡西莫多从圣母院外愤怒的人群中救下了她。只要她留在教堂内,就可以免于被处决的危险……
埃斯梅拉达和卡西莫多许久没有动,默默地思考着自己的处境,一个是那样优美,一个是那么难看。每一刻,随着埃斯梅拉达的目光从卡西莫多的弯腿移到驼背,再从他的驼背移到独眼上,她都在他身上发现更多的毛病。她难以理解一个人怎么能长得如此畸形。但他表现出那样的忧郁与那样的温顺,她渐渐地适应了。
他首先打破了沉默:“那么你是叫我回来吗?”
她点点头,答道:“是的。”
他明白点头的意思。“不过。”他说,似乎犹豫着要不要说下去,“我是——我是聋子。”
“可怜的人!”埃斯梅拉达喊道,发自内心地对他表示同情。
他苦笑起来。
“你觉得那就是我的所有缺陷,对不对?是啊,我是聋子,生来如此。真是可怕,不是吗?而你呢,却如此美丽!”
从这个不幸的人的语调中,她明显地感觉到他的悲伤,因此连一个字也说不出来。无论如何,他都不会听到她的话。他接着说道:
“我从来没像现在这般明白自己的丑陋。当我把自己同你比较时,我就非常怜悯自己,我是多么可怜而不幸的怪物啊!说实话,你一定把我当成某种野兽了吧。你呀,你就像一束阳光,一滴露珠,像鸟鸣声,而我呢,却是一个可怕的东西,不像人也不像兽。我不知道我是什么,我比卵石还要粗糙、低贱、不显眼!”
然后他笑了起来,那是世界上最痛心的笑声。他接着说道:
“是啊,我是聋子,但你可以用手势对我讲话,就像我的主人跟我说话那样,这样,从你的口型和你的表情,我很快就能明白你的意思。”
“好啊!”她微笑着说道,“告诉我你为什么要救我。”
她说话的时候,他专注地看着她。
“我明白了,”他回答道,“你问我为什么要救你。你忘了,有天晚上,有个坏家伙想绑架你,你却在他被惩罚时对他表示友善。我即使为你赴汤蹈火,也报答不了那滴水和你的怜悯之心。你已经忘记那个不幸的人了,他却还记着你的恩情。”
她带着满心温柔听完他的话。一滴泪珠在卡西莫多的眼眶里滚动,却没有落下来。似乎不让眼泪落下来,他就可以维护自己的尊严。
(改编自维克多·雨果的《巴黎圣母院》)
