Years ago,when I was working at a children’s institution,a boy 1 up in the waiting room.It was David.He had 2 his parents.He was very sad 3 to talk to others.
The first two times we met,David didn’t say a word.He sat in the chair and only 4 up at the children’s drawings on the wall.As he was about to leave 5 the second visit,I put my hand on his 6 .He didn’t shrink (退缩) back,but he didn’t look at me either.
“Come back next week,” I hesitated a bit.
He came,and I suggested we play a game of chess.He 7 .After that we played 8 every time,in complete 9 and without making any eye contact.It’s not 10 to cheat in chess,but I admit that I made sure David won 11 .
It seemed as if he enjoyed my 12 .But why did he never look at me？Perhaps he sensed that I respected his suffering.I kept wondering and 13with him,until some months later, 14 ,
he looked up at me.“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day,David started 15 .He got friends in school.He wrote me a few 16 about how he would try to get into university.After some time,the letters 17 .Now he had really started to live his own life.
I learned how 18cures pain.And David showed me how one—without any 19 —can reach out to another person.All it takes is a shoulder to cry on,a 20 touch and an ear that listens.

Beauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants (顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle (政界), beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man’s rise, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.
Why are attractive woman not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman 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 lo rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
小题1:In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _____.| A．strengthens the feminine qualities required | | B．makes women look more honest and capable | | C．is of great importance to women | | D．often enables women to succeed quickly |
小题2:Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.| A．turns out to be an obstacle to men | | B．affects men and women alike | | C．has as little effect on men as on women | | D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often _____.| A．practical | B．old-fashioned | C．prejudiced (偏见的) | D．serious |
小题4:The author writes this passage to _____.| A．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive | | B．give advice to job-seekers who are attractive | | C．demand equal rights for women | | D．emphasize the importance of appearance |
