15.I look in the mirror,and I'm not happy with what I see.I don't have a"perfect"face.I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair,blue eyes,and,of course,a pretty little nose.They're on the outside of the buses that I take home,the television programs I watch,and the billboards(廣告牌)I walk under.Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical"perfection".These billboards not only tell me what to drink,but also how to look.
    Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty,rather than their ability,honesty and character.We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries(手術(shù))and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model.To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother.It means you have the perfect jaw,eyes and lips.It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth?Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom,we try to prevent the aging process (過程).It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty.Fifty is a relaxed age,when you can step back and look at all you've achieved(successfully complete something).It is when your hard work pays off.Unfortunately,our society just sees you as"old".To stop the aging process,women buy wrinkle(皺紋)creams,do eye lifts and face lifts.They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.
    I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens,I had oily hair,and a half develo ped body.I hated the way I looked.I used to cry to my mother all the time,but she would just laugh and tell me that"you don't want anyone to like your appearance.It's your heart that is important,because beauty fades(消逝)."I knew that she was right.If you work on your heart enough,people will start to see the beauty in you,which lasts and remains on even after you die.
25.The main idea of the first paragraph is thatC.
A.the author doesn't have a perfect face
B.women have to look beautiful
C.photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
D.there are too many beauties in daily life
26.What's the author's attitude towards being"old"?B
A.It's a pity that people have to get old.
B.It's a fruitful and wise time.
C.It's stupid to try to stay young.
D.It's a pity that society looks down upon the old.
27.It isD that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important.
A.women themselves                    
B.the author's parents
C.newspapers and magazines                
D.society
28.What's the author's opinion about beauty?C
A.The author doesn't like the beauties our society values.
B.It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.
C.It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty.
D.The author feels appearance is important to a person.

分析 短文主要告訴我們是人的心,也就是人品比美貌更重要,因?yàn)槊烂矔,而心靈美好是永久的.

解答 25.答案:C,主旨大意題,根據(jù)句子 look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair,blue eyes,and,of course,a pretty little nose.They're on the outside of the buses that I take home,the television programs I watch,and the billboards(廣告牌)I walk under.可知作者認(rèn)為自己不是完美的女孩,但四處可以看到漂亮女孩子的照片,故答案為C.
26.答案:B,推理判斷題,根據(jù)第三段Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom,we try to prevent the aging process (過程)"不是把年齡增長看作智慧的標(biāo)志,我們總是盡力防止衰老的過程",由此可推斷作者把old看成是智慧和成熟的年齡,故答案為B.
27.答案:D,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第二段第一句Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty,rather than their ability,honesty and character可知我們的社會更注重一個人的美貌而不是能力、誠實(shí)和品行,由此可知答案為D.
28.答案:C,推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一段句子It's your heart that is important,because beauty fades可知作者認(rèn)為是你的心更重要,因此美貌會消逝,故答案為C.

點(diǎn)評 解答閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強(qiáng)的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).

5.Sleep
Without enough sleep,our immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) will be weak and it will be difficult to get through the day.Getting a good night's sleep can make the world of a difference in how you feel and how much you can do the next day.
