Hey, ladies! It’s summer again and it’s time for a new you! No more make-up, no more pretending! Yes, that’s right! It’s time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera, and start posting confident pictures without all the make-up and extra tricks we add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are!

After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples（面痕）or your eyes look small, or if you have crow’s feet? Guess what? Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesn’t think so is just not as strong as you.

Nowadays we tend to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet the truth is, by doing this, we are actually making our true skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the make-up. What kind of twisted（扭曲的）game are we really playing with ourselves?

So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make-up on. You don’t need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! You’ll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.

Yes, the saying, “Beauty comes from within” is an old one, definitely still holds some truth today. So be brave, carefree, and make-up free! Let the world see you for who you really are!

1.The author thinks that ladies should show others _______.

A. their crow’s feet B. their beautiful pictures

C. their real face with confidence D. their attractive appearance

2.What does the author think of adding make-up to our face?

A. It makes perfect images. B. It’s really meaningless.

I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.

Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character is similar to mine. He does not like people either.

When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.

“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.

His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.

Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.

“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he dived down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.

“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.

“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant.

“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”

“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man.

1.In which order should the following events be arranged?

a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.

b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.

c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.

d. Mr. Lockwood was attacked by some dogs.

e. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat down by the fire, in silence.

f. Mr. Heathcliff appeared in the main room with Joseph.

A. a, c, f, b, d, e. B. c, a, b, e, d, f.

C. a, c, e, d, f, b. D. c, a, f, e, d, b.

2.Why did Joseph say “God help us! A visitor!” when he met Mr. Lockwood?

A. He was very shocked to have a visitor.

B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant.

C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time.

D. He was happy his prayer for guests was answered.

3.Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”?

A. It is struck by strong winds all the year round.

B. It is protected well by the trees surrounding it.

C. The trees around it are bent by the north wind.

D. It is specially designed to resist strong winds.

4.What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff?

A. He was rich but foolish. B. He was rude but interesting.

C. He was handsome but boring. D. He was strange but friendly.
