Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.

Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?

Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.

At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.

Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.

But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.

More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.

And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space — but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.

Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety — even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

1.From paragraph one, we can learn that _______.

A. we might always dream about being bothered by others[

B. most people are not afraid of being too beautiful

C. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance

D. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone

2.Which is the benefit for beautiful people?

A. An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment.

B. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.

C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.

D. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.

3.What can be inferred from OKCupid’s finding?

A. Don’t use perfect pictures when trying to find dates online.

B. Less attractive women are lonely because of their appearances.

C. We may feel more excited to approach those with attractive appearances.

D. People with perfect pictures will find dates sooner or later.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Sexist Prejudice B. Negative Sides of Beauty

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 well 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.

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. Be yourself.

B. Just explore talents that you feel good about.

C. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?

D. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.

E. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.

F. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

An artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.

Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.

In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.

Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.

Mr. Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题（第1—5题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有多余选项。

A.The engine in your body．

B.The location, size and heartbeat of a heart．

C.What happens when the heart beats?

D.How does your heart work?

E. How do we know about the heart?

F.What can a doctor tell by feeling your pulse?

1._______ Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump．It works away, both day and night．First it pumps out some blood, rests for a few seconds, and then it pumps some more．In a normal day, the heart pumps about 2,500 gallons of blood from the auricles and ventricles．

2.________ When your heart beats, it is pumping blood to all parts of your body．If you could examine your heart closely, you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side, and working at the same time．Each pump has two parts, the upper part called the auricle(心房), and the lower part called the ventricle(心室)．The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body．The ventricles pump the blood out．The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body．At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves(阀门) which make the blood go in only one direction．

3.______ Your heart is located in your chest, a little to your left．This heart of yours, which is about the size of your two fists held together, beats about 90 times a minute．A grown person’s heart beats about 60 to 80times a minute．The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons, and it is not the same in any one person at all times．

4._______ By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart, the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly．The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily．The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chest and tubes that he places in his ears．The earpiece carries the sound of your heart’s beating along the tubes to the doctor’s ears, and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is．The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his ears against your chest．

5._______ An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats．You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball．Make a small hole in it, and fill the ball with water through the hole．When you squeeze the ball, you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze．After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again．Something like this happens when your heart beats．The muscles in your heart grow smaller, or contract, and squeeze the blood out of the heart．Each time this happens, we say your heart is beating．Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill．By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating．
