She is a quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.
One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper heart over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.” “Yeah” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes, oh, that … Who’s that boy?” The daughter was stunned for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I’m going to bed.” “All right. Go to sleep early.”
Next morning when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes’ hesitation she eventually opened it to the entry of the night before. It reads: Mum, it’s love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn’t. Holding the diary, the mother fell into thought.

Dear Carol,
I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?
Connie N.
Philadelphia, PA
Dear Connie,
Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:
Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.
Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup, it should look natural. Blusher and lip gloss in light tones of peach or pink are best.
Be well-groomed. Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!
60. Why did Connie write to Carol?
Because she really care about her clothes.
Because she cared little about her appearance.
Because her teeth were not good.
Because she didn't know how to make up.
61. Carol's idea about one's appearance is ______.
change your hairstyle and you will look beautiful
keep your skin clean and you will look good
neatness really counts
if you yourself don't think you look smart, neither will people
62. Carol tries to let Connie know that _______.
the deepest impressions one leaves on others are the first ones
spirits are important when we talk about one's appearance
there are some practical ways to draw people's attention to where you don't feel good
all of the above

What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been put forward by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia"(记忆缺失).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature(成熟)until about the age of two. But the most popular theory thinks that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fit the pattern. It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren't any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else's spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs (蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.
67. According to the passage, it is widely believed that _____.
A. it is impossible for an adult to recall his (or her) childhood experiences
B. adults and children have different brain structures
C. adults think in words while children think in images
D. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories
68. The word “hippocampus” probably means ______.
A. a research center engaged in the study of human brains
B. a psychological research department of a university
C. a miniature (tiny) campus formulated in one's childhood memory
D. a part of the brain in charge of the formation of memories
69."Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary" is stated in the passage to show that ______.
A. adults and children have different memory patterns
B. it is unlikely to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary
C. Chinese and English are totally different languages
D. memories are in some way connected with languages
70. According to Annette Simms, ______.
A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memories
B. there does not exist such things as childhood memories
C. children's brains are mature enough to form permanent memories
D. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they don't understand

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 executive were considered as 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 is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required.
This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women different.” 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.
71. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “liability”?
A. disadvantage B. advantage
C. bad luck D. trouble
72. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ______.
A. makes women look more honest and capable
B. strengthens the feminine qualities required
C. is of great importance to women
D. often enables women to succeed quickly
.73. 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. affects men and women alike
D. has as little effect on men as on women
74. It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often ________.
A. practical B. supportive C. old-fashioned D. one-sided
75. 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
