题目内容
20.I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau.Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dresssed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin,my legs are very white.In the UK this is not a fashionable(时尚的) look at all.Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin.The darker the skin,the better the look.As I walked around one shop,the two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese.I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave.After we left the shop,she asked me what was wrong.I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin.My friend laughed."They were not laughing at you.They were saying how nice your legs are.Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact,there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better.The grass is always greener on the other side.If the women of the West and East thought the same way,Western women wouldn't spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

分析 本文属于日常生活类的短文阅读.文章主要描述了来自于英国的作者在澳门的一次购物经历.英国人多以皮肤黑为美,而东方人则以皮肤白为美,所以当她在超市购物时,别人是称赞她的白皙的皮肤而她还以为是被嘲笑呢.
解答 81.her first shopping in Macau.
分析短文的内容可知,本文主要介绍了作者在澳门的一次购物经历,故答案为her first shopping in Macau.
82.She prepared to enjoy the sun and get darker skin.
根据第一段第二句Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dresssed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.可知,因为作者来自于寒冷和多云天气较多的英国,所以她准备在这里享受阳光;故答案为She prepared to enjoy the sun and get darker skin.
83.Because she thought the shop assistants were laughing at her white skin.
根据第二段I began to feel uncomfortable 和后面的解释I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin可知,她感到被别人嘲笑白肤色的腿而尴尬;故答案为Because she thought the shop assistants were laughing at her white skin.
84.Because they didn't take their eyes off her the whole time.
由第二段As I walked around one shop,the two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly in Chinese.可知,因为两个女孩一直看着她的白皙的腿而议论纷纷而让她产生了误会;故答案为Because they didn't take their eyes off her the whole time
85.It means people always think what others have is better.
分析最后一段可知,划线一句实际上是对前面一句It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better的解释,由此可推断这件事表明我们总是认为别人拥有的东西才是美好的;故答案为It means people always think what others have is better.
