tall and muscular and their "perfect" female equivalent is beautiful, firm and seemingly impossibly thin. These
"perfect" people are seen to have happiness, wealth and partners. The hidden message is "be like this and you
can have these things, too". This is what creates the pressure in most people-aspiring to these idealized body
images. We want these things and we think this is the way to get them. This pressure affects a lot of men and
women and, increasingly, boys and girls.
Many people ignore the fact that the idealized body images that surround them are just that idealized and
actually impossible for most of us. This can lead to poor self-esteem (自尊) and lack of confidence.
Remember the vast majority of people don't have perfect bodies. It doesn't actually mean you can't have the
positive things. The biggest myth is there are many ways to be attractive beyond the stereotype, It's certainly
not always the best-looking person that gets the girl or guy.
Most of us are much more likely to talk and get to know somebody who is friendly and approachable rather
than a more physically attractive self-centered person. Recognize your advantages and make the most of them
rather than dwell on imperfections. Your attitude towards yourself makes a big difference. Lack of confidence
in your appearance can lead you to behave in defensive ways that appear unfriendly, and this behavior is likely
to put people off rather than your appearance.
Believing in yourself and feeling good about your appearance will help automatically send off more positive
signals of yourself. So don't waste time trying to be a second-class somebody else but get on with being a first-
class you!

C. They are believed to represent wealth, power and happiness.
D. They are one of the sources of jealousy for many ordinary people.
B. Most people think that it is the best way to achieve their personal goals.
C. Most people use those ideal bodies as examples for their children.
D. Most people ignore the fact that ideal bodies are impossible for them.
B. people full of confidence will be attractive to those around
C. ideal bodies are the only type of people that will be loved
D. most people with ideal bodies behave in a defensive way
B. Cry over it, if you are an ugly-looking guy.
C. Make the best of your appearance to make profits.
D. Be confident, whether you are good-looking or not.
B. You are always the best and all other people are the second class.

In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. People 36 information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Some Internet users want 37 just someone to chat with. They’re looking for 38 love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That 39 depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually 40 . Others fail miserably.
Unlike the real world, 41 , your knowledge about a person is 42 to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they 43 are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “ 44 ” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really 45 when you’re in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. 46 else can so many people come together to chat?
47 of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online relationships 48 that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully chosse their words to 49 whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal (不用语言表达的)” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine 50 the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not 51 a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many 52 . it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This surely 53 disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So, 54 looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the 55 world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

查看习题详情和答案>>Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)—and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.
This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When in doubt, always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.
