根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中的两项为多途选项.
Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of
guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person"s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 1 . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
2 . Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.
That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have
non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting,
3 .
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形)don"t just happen. 4 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits - regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and
skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on -can help you build a positive body image.
5 . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all
the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you"re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? |

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer
people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can
bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man,
when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And
books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and
enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as
paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is
always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read
it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in
every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though
expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such
books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from
time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your
favorite poets. |

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a
significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some
of the country"s most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the
hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100
now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a
Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place
in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to
hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients
waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain"s first hospital artist,
Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of
fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering
from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number
of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
1. According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" means ___________.
A. to pull down hospital buildings
B. to decorate hospitals with art collections
C. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals
D. to make the corners of hospital buildings round
2. According to Peter Senior, _______.
A. art is losing its audience in modern society
B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals
C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting
D. art should be encouraged in British hospitals
3. After the improvement of the hospital environment, patients may _______.
A. no longer need drugs in their recovery
B. no longer depend wholly on expensive drugs
C. need good-quality drugs in their recovery
D. use more pain killers in their recovery
4. The fact that six young art school graduates joined Peter shows that_______.
A. Peter"s enterprise is developing greatly
B. Peter Senior enjoys great popularity
C. they are talented hospital artists
D. the role of hospital environment is being recognized |

The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an
industry.
Sources at the Beijing People"s Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service
work is melting away from minds of the city"s laidoff workers. The Conference suggested the
establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise property management, household mending
and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for home services. This
will create job opportunities for laidoff workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of
the Conference.
Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new
economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always
complaining.
In the past, few laidoff workers worked as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from
the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern
household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home
to thousands of laidoff workers.
By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women
in their 40"s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the
planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a
way of life they had got used to for decades.
They never imagined being laidoff by state; they never considered other kinds of employment. For
them, the private sector (领域) meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao
yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and
works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month.
So she no longer worries about her daughter"s tuition at a university in Shanghai.
1. What is talked about in the passage?

2. Why didn"t the laidoff workers like to do home services in the past?
A. Low salary.
B. Lower social status.
C. Dirty working condition.
D. Too much extra work.
3. Why were many laidoff workers at a loss?
A. Because they didn"t get used to the new way of life.
B. Because they are too old to find a new job.
C. Because they dislike being laid off.
D. Because they think they lost their social status.
3. In which ways is home service industry good for our society?
A. It meets the needs of modern life.
B. It provides work opportunities for the laidoff worker
C. It is a new industry.
D. A and B. |
Sometimes you"ll hear people say that you can"t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you"ll
hear people say that you can"t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way,
you"ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we"re the apple of our
parents" eyes, and that our Grandmas think we"re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will
go to the Olympics. but sometimes it"s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you
find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love
yourself.
Self-image is your own mind"s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you
act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from
the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they
should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and
your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That
is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don"t allow doubts
to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can"t move past one
flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your
primary task. If you think you"re silly because you aren"t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you"re
weak because you can"t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you"re dull because you
don"t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn"t
mean it"s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,
and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on
those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can
pat yourself on the back, you"ll know you"re well on your way. Good luck! |

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter
and live in a new culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain
and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to
another.
Culture begins with the "honeymoon stage". 1 _____. We are thrilled to be in the new environment,
seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. 2_____.
3______. After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss
our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult
and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.
The third stage is called the "adjustment stage". 4_____. Your sense of humour usually becomes
stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new
place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new
surroundings. 5_____. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong
enough to deal with them.
