  Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and more respectable jobs. Personal advisor give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants, but in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.

   While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.

   Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.

   All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.

   Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more womanly and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.

   This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told what the photographs were of. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.

   The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.

39. According to the passage, attractive people are those who are ______.

      A. good-looking                                     B. humorous

      C. well-educated                                     D. capable

40. The author of the passage intended to show us that people' s views on beauty are ______.

      A. out-of-date                                       B. practical

      C. reasonable                                        D. one-sided

41. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

     A. Appearance is important in finding a good job.

     B. Attractiveness is of great advantage to his or her success.

     C. Attractiveness is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women when it comes to politics.

     D. Attractiveness has more effect on men than on women.

42. In traditional female jobs, attractiveness ______.

      A. strengthens the womanly qualities required

     B. always makes it easier for women to succeed quickly

     C. makes women look more honest and capable

     D. can be a liability

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius （天才）, they will cause great damage to him .

However , his father never makes Michael enter (参加) music competition if he is unwilling .

Michael’s friend , Winston Chen , however , is not lucky . Although both his parents are successful musicians , they set too high a standard (标准) for Winston . They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held . They are very unhappy when he does not win . “When I was your age , I used to win every competition I entered .” Winston’s father tells him .

In 1869 , a special waterway was completed . This new waterway connected the Mediterranean (地中海) and the Gulf of Suez , which is part of the Red Sea . This Canal which lies in a desert area in northeastern Egypt , is called the Suez Canal .

The Suez Canal runs for about 173 kilometers from the port of Suez , on the Gulf of Suez , to port Said on the Mediterranean Sea . Some parts of the canal are very narrow , so two ships cannot pass there at the same time . One ship must wait in a special place or in one of the lakes until the canal is passable again .

A French engineer , Ferdinand de Lessep , was the director of the construction of the Suez Canal . The works had been expected to be completed within 6 years . Because of the bad weather , illness and lack of labour power , it actually lasted 4 more years . In honour of the completion of the Suez Canal , a famous Italian musician named Giuseppe Verdi wrote a special opera (歌剧) . This opera , Aida , is one of the most famous operas ever written .

The Suez Canal greatly shortens the ship distance from Asia to western Europe . But before 1956 , the canal didn’t benefit a lot the people on it , for it was under the control of an international company . There was an agreement that declared that the ships of all nations could use the Suez Canal in peacetime and wartime . However , in 1956 there was a big conftontatio (对抗) among four countries . The French , British , and Israelites (以色列人) didn’t allow the Egyptians to exercise sovereignty (主权) to the canal . Then a war broke out and the canal was closed . With the help of the United Nations , the Egyptians achieved the aim , and the Suez Canal was reopened the next year .

On the morning of last Friday, Peter went to school as usual. When he was walking along the road, he suddenly saw a well without its cover. As he thought is was dangerous to others, he put the cover carefully on the well. But when he turned back and was about to leave, he heard someone shouting “Help” in the well. Peter went back to the well and opened the cover, only to find a worker in it. He realized that he had done a wrong thing. So he pulled the worker out and then covered the well again. Peter was really a nice boy.
