15、 both women and men are surrounded by magazines and websites full of tips on dieting, exercise and fashion. Not to mention hairstyles! Gone are the days when all men didnt need to think about wearing a nice suit to be smart and handsome. Things have changed. Now, a survey by the University of the We

16、st of England (UWE) has suggested that 80% of men confess to being unhappy about their body. The biggest body issues for them were beer bellies and lack of muscles.Some think this sudden vanity(虚荣心) is due to the pressure or influence of role models we see on TV and in magazines. People end up with

17、a perception of what the perfect body should look like. But not everybody wants to put in the efforts to have a perfect pecs (胸肌) and dazzling white teeth like Arnold Schwarzenegger.An opportunistic(投机取巧的) entrepreneur has even invented a muscle-enhancing shirt to be worn under a mans clothes to mak

18、e him look more of a hunk. But Joe Warner, the previous editor of Mens Fitness magazine in the UK, thinks the padded shirt is just a gimmick(骗人的玩意).

19、hortcuts when it doesnt take an awful lot of effort to get to the gym or go for a walk.” Exercise is always a good thing. But we mustnt forget that beauty is only skin-deep.

24、ed times when weve tried hard to remember particular details, but only come up with a total blank. A recent study dicovered that the more we recall one particular memory, other similar memories are automatically supressed(抑制) by the brain itself. This means that over time, remembering selective inci

25、dents could make you forget many other related incidents. “ Forgetting” then is not as passive a process as we thought in the past. A team of researchers gave their test subjects some pictures associated with a certain word. Participants were later made to recall an individual memory. Although all t

26、he associated memories were originally awakened, repeatedly bringing back just one specific memory caused all the others to get supressed. Each time the same memory was pulled up, the participants were able to describe it in more detail. And brain activity in the areas that stored the other memories

27、 simply reduced. When one memory was recalled so often, the brain recognized that this was more important to us than other similar ones. It simply gave that memory more importance and made sure competing memories wouldnt get involved. This is what happens to eyewitnesses in reality. As they are made

28、 to replay a scene over and over again, their brain controls other related memories automatically. So later, when they are tested on those other details, they cant get back those memories easily, which make them appear to be unreliable. Imagine if our brain could keep every single memory it stored.

29、We would spend ages sorting through all of them for whatever information we need. Instead, the brain appears to automatically arrange memories based on how often weve recalled those memories earlier, so that it can function faster and more efficiently. In short, this phenomenon (现象) means that peopl

30、e can gradually overcome sorrowful memories by replacing them with more positive memories. 28. According to the text, we used to think that forgetting _.

32、s to prove _.

Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A. Our brains can delet

33、e extra information itself. B. More memories make our brain work slower. C. Every single memory of our life is stored in our brain. D. Good memories are remembered more clearly than bad ones. DIn 1996, John Tierney suggested in a New York Times Magazine article that “recycling is garbage”. He wrote,

34、 “The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems. Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution, but also cost more money than the disposal of plain old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”Env

35、ironmental groups were quick to express their disagreement. They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal. Michael Shapiro, an official of the US Environmental Agency (EPA), said that “recycling can be good value fo

36、r money, although theres still room for improvement”. But in 2002, New York City, a pioneer of recycling, found that its recycling program was losing money, so it stopped glass and plastic recycling. Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was dealing with it remaining program (the ci

37、ty never stopped paper recycling). But then it closed its last landfill (垃圾填埋地), and private companies out of New York rasied price due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New Yorks garbage. As a result, glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again, and New Y

38、ork brought the program back. According to Cecil Adams of Chicago Reader, the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere. He believes that, if managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many, ke

39、ep in mind that it better serves the environment to “reduce and reuse” before recycling is even considered as a choice. 32. Why did John Tierney think “recycling is garbage”? A.

My professors warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for t

45、hem to get there. Dont just owe it to pure luck. _37_”She was absolutely right, yet its much easier to envy what theyve got than to ask the serious questions: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? _38_(2) Transform comparison into celebration.Admiration and

46、envy are responses pointing us towards what we value most. _39_ If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.(3) _ 40_ _Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someones success, take a moment to consider
