Geena Davis knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. "I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sun?glasses," she says. "I used to wear them to watch TV."

Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good ， but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as "Klieg eyes". It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.

Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hepburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Break fast at Tiffany's. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979? Ray-Ban "Wayfarers" were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blues Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban "Aviator" sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997， Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban "Predator" sunglasses famous in Men in Black.

Of course sunglasses aren't 〗ust a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don't have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses availa?ble these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people?

9 Yet a very young child―or even an animal, such as a pigeon, can learn to recognize faces. We all take this for granted.

10 When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. 11 But if you were asked to describe a "nice person" you might begin to think about someone who was kind, consider ate friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Airport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people's behaviour. 12 Book worms ,conservatives, military types—people are de?scribed with such terms.

People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audi?ence whether they played the villain's or the hero's role. In fact, the words "person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". Today? most televi?sion and movie actors do not wear masks. 13

A.    If you were asked to describe what a " nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time do?ing so.

B.    But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

C.    We also tell people apart by how they behave.

D.    People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.

E.    And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing one's personality.

F.    Experts say that actors differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics in acting.

G.    Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the feature? that make one face different from another.

5.The young teacher treated the naughty boy kindly, but her patience gave______________at last.

4.Tourism of our city has a bad effect _______________________ the wildlife.

3.____________________ is urgent that relief (should) be sent to the earthquake-hit areas.

2.The family were all concerned__________________ my safety when the accident happened then.
