For decades, public ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )health officials have puzzled over a surprising fact about HIV: Only about 10-20 percent of infants who are breastfed by infected mothers catch the virus. Tests show, though, that HIV is indeed present in breast milk, so these children are exposed to the virus multiple times daily for the first several months of their lives.
Now, a group of scien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tists and doctors from Duke University has figured out why these babies don’t get infected. Human breast milk naturally contains a protein called Tenascin C that neutralizes HIV and, in most cases, prevents it from being passed from mother to child. Eventually, they say, the protein could potentially be valuable as an HIV-fighting tool for both infants and adults that are either HIV-positive or at risk of contracting the infection.
The research, publish ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was inspired by previous work by other researchers showing that, both in tissue cultures (组织培养) and live mice, breast milk from HIV-negativemothers was naturally endowed with HIV-fighting properties. Scientists suggested that a few different proteins in the milk could potentially be responsible, but no one knew which one.
As part of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e study, the researchers divided breast milk into smaller fractions (部分) made up of specific proteins via a number of filters (过滤) — separating the proteins by size, electrical charge and other characteristics—and tested which of these fractions, when added to a tissue culture, prevented the cells from being infected by HIV. Eventually, they found that one particular protein was present in all the HIV-resistant fractions but in none of the others: Tenascin C.
Tenascin C works by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) blocking a key protein on HIV’s envelope that normally ties up to a receptor on a T cell’s membrane called CCR5. In doing so, Tenascin C prevents HIV from mixing with the T cell and injecting its RNA inside.
Still, the resear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chers say that other natural elements in milk might play a role in fighting HIV as well. “It’s clearly not the whole story, because we do have samples that have low amounts of this protein but still have HIV-neutralizing activity,” the study’s lead author Permar says. “So it may be acting in concert with other antiviral and antimicrobial factors in the milk.”
Whatever those ot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her factors are, though, the finding vindicates (证明……的正确) recent changes to UN guidelines that recommend even HIV-positive mothers in resource-poor countries should breastfeed, if they’re taking anti-retroviral drugs to combat their own infection.
The next steps, Permar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says, are determining which area of Tenascin C is active and whether it can effectively prevent transmission in a live animal. If it works, it could potentially be incorporated (合并) into an HIV drug with broader applications. It’s even possible that it could someday be adapted to reduce the risk of HIV transmission in adults as well as infants.
63. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The breast ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) milk from an infected mother doesn’t contain HIV at all.
B. It’s less ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) likely for infants feeding on infected mothers’ breast milk to catch HIV.
C. The possibilitie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of infants catching HIV have nothing to do with infected mothers.
D. Children breastf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed by infected mothers won’t catch HIV though exposed to it frequently.
64. Why did the r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esearchers divide breast milk into smaller fractions
A. To find out Tenas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cin C. B. To make up specific proteins.
C. To add them to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a tissue culture. D. To test what prevents cells being infected.
65. Which of the following about Tenascin C is true
A. It has become an effective tool in fighting HIV.
B. It was first found by Permar and her research group.
C. It can prevent transmission in a live animal effectively.
D. It can sometimes prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
66. What can we kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w about Permar and her research group according to the passage
A. They have found a cure for HIV.
B. They have helped change UN guidelines.
C. They will do more researches on Tenascin C.
D. Their finding is based on their previous work.

Abraham Lincoln ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country's history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to lear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit ，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his life as a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
36.According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true
A. Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
B. Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future.
C. America is considered self-made because of Lincoln.
D. Self-determination and will contributed to Lincoln’s success.

He leant down to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he pickpocket. The heaving and gasping had stopped, but he was still making a show of his breathlessness.
“That’s better,” Ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llon said. “Can you stand up Try to stand up. Here,” he said, and gripped the pickpocket’s arm and forced him upright until he saw his face for the first time. As the pickpocket labored for breath, he gazed up at Mallon with his dark eyes. “How could you ” they asked.
Mallon might h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave said, “Because you tried to steal from me.” But he was still conscious of the flush of joy he’d felt when his blow struck home — when he knew he’d hurt the man. Where that joy came from he couldn’t say, but he knew that its roots were deeper than some clumsy failed theft.
Fat drops of rain began to patter on the awning (雨篷).
“How are you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” Mallon said. “Can you walk ” The pickpocket turned away and leant against the store window with both hands, and his head sank lower as his shoulders rose and fell. A gray-haired woman inside the store rapped on the glass and made a shooing motion. When the pickpocket ignored her, she rapped harder and kept rapping.
“I have to go,” Mallo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n said. “I’m sorry.” He looked up at the sky. “I’m sorry,” he said again, and stepped into the rain and walked quickly up the street.
One of the Bangladeshi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) umbrella sellers was working the corner, and Mallon had just paid seven euros when he heard a woman shouting. He didn’t want to look back but did. It was the woman from the shop, pushing and batting the pickpocket away from the window while he bent down and covered his head like a boxer trying to get through the last seconds of a round. Mallon slipped his wallet back into his jacket pocket and took the umbrella that the Bangladeshi had opened for him.
The pickpocket was out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on the sidewalk now, in the rain. The woman stood just under the awning with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Excuse me, ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dam,” Mallon said, coming up to them. “This man isn’t well. He needs to rest a moment.”
“I know these people,” she said. “Our Romans don’t want them here.”
The rain fell in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sheets, ran down the pickpocket’s shiny scalp and face, down his leather jacket.
“Here,” Mallon said, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and offered him the umbrella, but he only looked at Mallon with his hurt dark eyes and then lowered his head again. Mallon bumped him in the shoulder with the handle of the umbrella. “Go on — take it!” he said. And finally, with a beaten, unwilling look, the pickpocket did.
And that was when h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e saw a taxi round the corner with a light glowing on its roof. Mallon ran out waving his arm and the cab turned sharply to the pavement, sending a lot of water over his shoes. He opened the door but couldn’t help looking back. The pickpocket had lowered the umbrella to the ground upside down and was leaning on the shaft, head low, neck bared to the sky.
“Wait,” Mallon sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id to the driver. He went back and grabbed the pickpocket’s sleeve and pulled him to the cab. “Get in,” Mallon said, and took the umbrella and pushed him into the back seat. He leaned inside. “O.K., where do you live ”
“No Gypsies!” th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e driver said. He was twisted around, glaring at the pickpocket.
“Gypsy Look, he’s not well. I’ll pay,” Mallon added.
The driver shook his head. “No Gypsies. Get him out,”
Mallon looked at th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e driver’s nameplate: Michele Kadare. “It’s the law,” he said, “If you don’t take us, Signor Kadare, I’ll report you and you’ll lose your license. Believe me — I am quite serious.”
The driver fasten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed those pale eyes on Mallon and turned and put his hands on the steering wheel. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and he and Mallon exchanged stares.
“O.K., Mr. American,” he said. “You pay.”
67. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate
A. Mallon shouldn’t have saved the pickpocket.
B. The pickpocket didn’t thank Mallon for his offer.
C. The pickpocket blamed Mallon for his failure to steal.
D. Mallon must have beaten the pickpocket before helping him.
68. Where should t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he sentence “He hesitated, then turned back.” be placed
A. Between paragrap ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hs 5 and 6. B. Between paragraphs 6 and 7.
C. Between p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aragraphs 7 and 8. D. Between paragraphs 8 and 9.
69. From the atti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudes of the woman and the driver towards the pickpocket, we can conclude that ________.
A. the Gypsies had a bad reputation in Rome
B. the pickpocket frequently stole around the woman’s store
C. everyone was protected by the law in Rome except the Gypsies
D. the pickpocket couldn’t purchase anything in the woman’s store
70. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. The taxi didn’t take the pickpocket to his house in the end.
B. The pickpocket succeeded in stealing something from Mallon.
C. The pickp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ocket was a little suspicious of Mallon’s intention to help him.
D. The umbrella seller gave an umbrella to Mallon free of charge.

Students who date ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) (约会）in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
"Romantic relati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onships are a trademark of adolescence ，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas ，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.
Orpinas followed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.
Each year, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires (调查表）about the students* academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
"At all points ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,'1 according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.
"Dating a classmate ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said, "when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else.

If you were walkin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo（纹身）design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.
On Bali, a little i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sland in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic（麻药）and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar, ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there’s nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.

For decades, public ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )health officials have puzzled over a surprising fact about HIV: Only about 10-20 percent of infants who are breastfed by infected mothers catch the virus. Tests show, though, that HIV is indeed present in breast milk, so these children are exposed to the virus multiple times daily for the first several months of their lives.
Now, a group of scien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tists and doctors from Duke University has figured out why these babies don’t get infected. Human breast milk naturally contains a protein called Tenascin C that neutralizes HIV and, in most cases, prevents it from being passed from mother to child. Eventually, they say, the protein could potentially be valuable as an HIV-fighting tool for both infants and adults that are either HIV-positive or at risk of contracting the infection.
The research, publish ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was inspired by previous work by other researchers showing that, both in tissue cultures (组织培养) and live mice, breast milk from HIV-negativemothers was naturally endowed with HIV-fighting properties. Scientists suggested that a few different proteins in the milk could potentially be responsible, but no one knew which one.
As part of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e study, the researchers divided breast milk into smaller fractions (部分) made up of specific proteins via a number of filters (过滤) — separating the proteins by size, electrical charge and other characteristics—and tested which of these fractions, when added to a tissue culture, prevented the cells from being infected by HIV. Eventually, they found that one particular protein was present in all the HIV-resistant fractions but in none of the others: Tenascin C.
Tenascin C works by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) blocking a key protein on HIV’s envelope that normally ties up to a receptor on a T cell’s membrane called CCR5. In doing so, Tenascin C prevents HIV from mixing with the T cell and injecting its RNA inside.
Still, the resear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chers say that other natural elements in milk might play a role in fighting HIV as well. “It’s clearly not the whole story, because we do have samples that have low amounts of this protein but still have HIV-neutralizing activity,” the study’s lead author Permar says. “So it may be acting in concert with other antiviral and antimicrobial factors in the milk.”
Whatever those ot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her factors are, though, the finding vindicates (证明……的正确) recent changes to UN guidelines that recommend even HIV-positive mothers in resource-poor countries should breastfeed, if they’re taking anti-retroviral drugs to combat their own infection.
The next steps, Permar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says, are determining which area of Tenascin C is active and whether it can effectively prevent transmission in a live animal. If it works, it could potentially be incorporated (合并) into an HIV drug with broader applications. It’s even possible that it could someday be adapted to reduce the risk of HIV transmission in adults as well as infants.
63. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The breast ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) milk from an infected mother doesn’t contain HIV at all.
B. It’s less ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) likely for infants feeding on infected mothers’ breast milk to catch HIV.
C. The possibilitie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of infants catching HIV have nothing to do with infected mothers.
D. Children breastf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed by infected mothers won’t catch HIV though exposed to it frequently.
64. Why did the r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esearchers divide breast milk into smaller fractions
A. To find out Tenas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cin C. B. To make up specific proteins.
C. To add them to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a tissue culture. D. To test what prevents cells being infected.
65. Which of the following about Tenascin C is true
A. It has become an effective tool in fighting HIV.
B. It was first found by Permar and her research group.
C. It can prevent transmission in a live animal effectively.
D. It can sometimes prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
66. What can we kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w about Permar and her research group according to the passage
A. They have found a cure for HIV.
B. They have helped change UN guidelines.
C. They will do more researches on Tenascin C.
D. Their finding is based on their previous work.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。
Abraham Lincoln ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country's history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to lear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit ，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his life as a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
36.According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true
A. Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
B. Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future.
C. America is considered self-made because of Lincoln.
D. Self-determination and will contributed to Lincoln’s success.

He leant down to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he pickpocket. The heaving and gasping had stopped, but he was still making a show of his breathlessness.
“That’s better,” Ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llon said. “Can you stand up Try to stand up. Here,” he said, and gripped the pickpocket’s arm and forced him upright until he saw his face for the first time. As the pickpocket labored for breath, he gazed up at Mallon with his dark eyes. “How could you ” they asked.
Mallon might h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave said, “Because you tried to steal from me.” But he was still conscious of the flush of joy he’d felt when his blow struck home — when he knew he’d hurt the man. Where that joy came from he couldn’t say, but he knew that its roots were deeper than some clumsy failed theft.
Fat drops of rain began to patter on the awning (雨篷).
“How are you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” Mallon said. “Can you walk ” The pickpocket turned away and leant against the store window with both hands, and his head sank lower as his shoulders rose and fell. A gray-haired woman inside the store rapped on the glass and made a shooing motion. When the pickpocket ignored her, she rapped harder and kept rapping.
“I have to go,” Mallo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n said. “I’m sorry.” He looked up at the sky. “I’m sorry,” he said again, and stepped into the rain and walked quickly up the street.
One of the Bangladeshi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) umbrella sellers was working the corner, and Mallon had just paid seven euros when he heard a woman shouting. He didn’t want to look back but did. It was the woman from the shop, pushing and batting the pickpocket away from the window while he bent down and covered his head like a boxer trying to get through the last seconds of a round. Mallon slipped his wallet back into his jacket pocket and took the umbrella that the Bangladeshi had opened for him.
The pickpocket was out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on the sidewalk now, in the rain. The woman stood just under the awning with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Excuse me, ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dam,” Mallon said, coming up to them. “This man isn’t well. He needs to rest a moment.”
“I know these people,” she said. “Our Romans don’t want them here.”
The rain fell in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sheets, ran down the pickpocket’s shiny scalp and face, down his leather jacket.
“Here,” Mallon said, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and offered him the umbrella, but he only looked at Mallon with his hurt dark eyes and then lowered his head again. Mallon bumped him in the shoulder with the handle of the umbrella. “Go on — take it!” he said. And finally, with a beaten, unwilling look, the pickpocket did.
And that was when h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e saw a taxi round the corner with a light glowing on its roof. Mallon ran out waving his arm and the cab turned sharply to the pavement, sending a lot of water over his shoes. He opened the door but couldn’t help looking back. The pickpocket had lowered the umbrella to the ground upside down and was leaning on the shaft, head low, neck bared to the sky.
“Wait,” Mallon sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id to the driver. He went back and grabbed the pickpocket’s sleeve and pulled him to the cab. “Get in,” Mallon said, and took the umbrella and pushed him into the back seat. He leaned inside. “O.K., where do you live ”
“No Gypsies!” th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e driver said. He was twisted around, glaring at the pickpocket.
“Gypsy Look, he’s not well. I’ll pay,” Mallon added.
The driver shook his head. “No Gypsies. Get him out,”
Mallon looked at th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e driver’s nameplate: Michele Kadare. “It’s the law,” he said, “If you don’t take us, Signor Kadare, I’ll report you and you’ll lose your license. Believe me — I am quite serious.”
The driver fasten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed those pale eyes on Mallon and turned and put his hands on the steering wheel. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and he and Mallon exchanged stares.
“O.K., Mr. American,” he said. “You pay.”
67. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate
A. Mallon shouldn’t have saved the pickpocket.
B. The pickpocket didn’t thank Mallon for his offer.
C. The pickpocket blamed Mallon for his failure to steal.
D. Mallon must have beaten the pickpocket before helping him.
68. Where should t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he sentence “He hesitated, then turned back.” be placed
A. Between paragrap ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hs 5 and 6. B. Between paragraphs 6 and 7.
C. Between p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aragraphs 7 and 8. D. Between paragraphs 8 and 9.
69. From the atti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudes of the woman and the driver towards the pickpocket, we can conclude that ________.
A. the Gypsies had a bad reputation in Rome
B. the pickpocket frequently stole around the woman’s store
C. everyone was protected by the law in Rome except the Gypsies
D. the pickpocket couldn’t purchase anything in the woman’s store

Students who date ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) (约会）in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
"Romantic relati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onships are a trademark of adolescence ，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas ，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.

Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
"At all points ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,'1 according to the journal article.

If you were walkin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo（纹身）design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.
On Bali, a little i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sland in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic（麻药）and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar, ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there’s nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
So now I’m s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
