9、tby Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults.

10、the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family.

Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner
12、. Lets admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. Thats not good. “Believe it or not, people dont like to listen to negative opinions.”One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my wo
13、rds so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others feeling.

17、 just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Bri
18、tain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game origina
19、ted（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifte
20、en players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but
21、 it enjoys great popularity among the British.Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong”, surely is not played on a great scale as it
22、 is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity.

25、inD The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, peopl
26、e continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beaut
27、y? Its difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college student
28、s. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips,
29、 and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traitsthe full lips, clear skin, strong shouldersequal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way. What is
30、considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found nati
31、ve peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered
32、 universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者). 32. Peoples ideas about beauty _. A. can be easily described B. are based upon strict criteria C. have existed since ancient
33、 times D. have little influence on a persons success 33. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study _. A. were rated for their appearance B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes C. were shown photos of a group of college students D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones 34
34、. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches C. the search for beauty is the power to motivate the beholder D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds 35. What can probably b
35、e the best title for this passage? A. The History of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty C. The Standards for Beauty D. The Attitudes toward Beauty 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for Upcoming Senior Two The upperclassmen often describe Senior Two as a year with “much
