阅读理解     I once thought that outer beauty is the only factor to become a greatperson.When I was young,  
I read many kinds of books,  most of which described characters who are handsome or beautiful.So
I think that being beautiful is the only way to become a success.
     As I grew up,  the story of my best friend made me realize that outer beauty was not so important
to make a person successful.She was so beautiful a girl that every classmate liked to chat with her,  
but she was very arrogant.In her opinion,  she could get all she wanted because of her beauty,  but all
of her friends left her one by one!Only then did she come to know the importance of the beauty in a
person"s heart,  which c hanged her attitude and she made friends again.
     Turning on TV,  we can see many advertisements,  most of which seem to give us a feeling that
physical attractiveness is the most important thing.There_seems_to_be_a_boom_in_plastic_surgery.It
is surprising that more and more people,  especially girls and women,  try it like the first man-made
beauty in China,  Hao Lulu.It is a common sense that attractive people can easily find work.Most good
looking guys usually get higher scores in the job interviews.But,  what is real beauty? I want to say that
is inner beauty because those who have beauty in their soul are really beautiful persons.
     As is known,  the beauty judged with eyes is temporary,  so we should concentrate on inner beauty.
And if we make the efforts to make our minds beautiful,  we"ll live a happier life.1. Why did the author want to have a good appearance when she was young?A. Because she wanted to be one of the characters in the book.
B. Because she wanted to get higher scores in the job interviews.
C. Because she wanted to follow her friend"s example mentioned in the passage.
D. Because the successful characters in the books she read were attractive.2. Why did the writer quote her friend"s story?A. To show how important outer beauty is.
B. To show how terrible to be a beautiful girl.
C. To prove that outer beauty is temporary,  which is not the key factor to become a great person.
D. To show how beautiful her friend was.3. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?A. A large number of people pay attention to outer beauty.
B. Surgery is becoming more and more popular.
C. The price of doing plastic surgery is becoming lower and lower,  making more
     and more persons afford it.
D. The living standard has been improved over the past years.4. Which of the following covers the passage best?A. How do attractive persons become successful?
B. Plastic surgery is the best way to make a person become more beautiful and successful.
C. The key factor to find a good job is being attractive.
D. Inner beauty is the real beauty.5. What do we know from the passage?A. If you are too beautiful,  all your friends will leave you out of envy.
B. If you have a good appearance,  you must get higher scores in the job interviews.
C. Without the TV advertisements,  there wouldn"t have been a boom in plastic surgery.
D. Those who have good appearances should also develop the beauty in their hearts.

     History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery.A striking
example is provided by Dr.Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize.Loewi had
spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough
in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row.The first two nights he
woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on a pad.But the next morning, he
couldn"t tell what the notes meant.On the third night, he got up after having the dream.This time, instead
of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the crucial experiment.Loewi later said
that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.
     Loewi"s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions.Inhibitions (拘谨) are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh
point of view.
      Being able to take advantage of dreams for problem solving is improved if you "set" yourself before
retiring.Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve.Steep yourself in (潜心于) the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information.Then use the suggestions
listed in the previous section to catch your dreams.Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a
novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure.About half of a group of college students
using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.
1. The main idea of this passage is that________.
A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams
B. it is possible to "catch" one"s dreams by planning before going to sleep
C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one"s problems
D. Loewi"s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses
2. The first paragraph is mainly organized by________.
A. classifying types of experiments
B. summarizing the work of one researcher
C. comparing and exploring historical cases
D. telling in time order about one man"s researchf
3. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have________.
A. asked someone else to do it  
B. thought it was a bad idea
C. tried it out on his own  
D. thought it was a wise idea
4. The author probably thinks that________.
A. Loewi should not have conducted his experiment
B. dreaming is of very little value to most people
C. inhibitions may stop someone thinking of useful ideas
D. college students should not try out dream experiments
5. The author seems to be in favor of________according to the passage.
A. seeking creative solutions
B. avoiding scientific experiments
C. inhibitions before dreams
D. becoming a famous scientist

     "How lucky you are to be a doctor..." Anyone who"s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought.Anyone_
who"s_studying_medicine_should_have_his_head_examined.
     You may think I want to change my job.Well, at the moment I do.As one of my friends says-even
doctors have a few friends-it"s all experience.Experience!I don"t need such experience.I need a warm,
comfortable and undisturbed bed all my own.I need it badly.I need all telephones to be thrown down
the nearest well.That"s what I need.
     All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini (微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East
London at 3 : 45 a. m.on a December morning.I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and
a bag of medicines.As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first
blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel.I wish I
were on the beach in southern France.Call me a bad doctor if you like.Call me what you will.But don"t
call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks.
     Of course, being a doctor isn"t really all bad.We_do_have_our_moments. Once in a while people are
ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you are given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two
o"clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything.But all too often "everything" is a
repetitious rule:look, listen, feel, tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance and away to the next.
      And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed
service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand
in the cold, dark, smelly and dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town.Oh, it has
its moments, and this life does.
1. According to the sentence "Anyone who"s studying medicine should have his head examined."
    we know that________.
A. a medical student should have a very good memory
B. a doctor must be mentally strong so that he can meet any difficult situation
C. the writer thinks that those who want to be doctors are crazy
D. to be a doctor is a challenge for people"s mental health
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The writer wishes he could have a quiet, undisturbed night in bed at home.
B. One of his friends says that being a doctor helps one gain all sorts of experience.
C. He hates the telephone as a modern means of communication.
D. He is not happy with the small and uncomfortable car he is driving.
3. The statement "We do have our moments" could best be replaced by "________".
A. we doctors are called at a moment"s notice to see people who need medical treatment
B. usually we are glad that we can do something to help the sick
C. sometimes we find people are thankful for our help
D. there are chances that doctors find their work rewarding and satisfying
4. From the whole passage, we know that the writer________.
A. is a bad doctor, unwilling to make a house call during the night-time
B. is so dissatisfied with his job that he wishes to find a new one
C. is satisfied with his job but he hates to be called out unnecessarily
D. thinks a doctor can enjoy certain special rights whether he felt lucky or not
5. We can conclude that________.
A. the author is worried about his patient when he is driving through the foggy streets of East London
B. the author is annoyed to be called out at such a horrible morning hour for an earache patient
C. the author is now heading for the beach in southern France for his holidays
D. as the author speeds down Lea Bridge in the dark on a December morning, his Mini breaks down
     half way

     Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive
people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.
Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive
defendants(被告).But in the executive 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 executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and
ability were thought to account for their success.
     Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity 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 integrity and to be more capable
than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes
was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight
successes.
     Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine
and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)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."When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women
differently,"says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on
political candidates.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 utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had
been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
1.The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________".
A.misfortune  
B.instability
C.disadvantage  
D.burden
2.In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________.
A.reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required
B.makes women look more honest and capable
C.is of primary importance to women
D.often enables women to succeed quickly
3.Bowman"s experiment reveals 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
4.It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often________.
A.practical  
B.prejudiced
C.oldfashioned  
D.pessimistic
5.The author writes this passage to________.
A.demand equal rights for women
B.emphasize the importance of appearance
C.discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
D.give advice to jobseekers who are attractive
