单选题Greek mythology is largely made up of stories about gods and goddesses, but it must not be read as a kind of Greek Bible, an account of the Greek religion. According to the most modern idea, a real myth has nothing to do with religion. It is an explanation of something in nature; how, for instance, any and everything in the universe came into existence: men, animals, this or that tree or flower, the sun, the moon, the stars, storms, eruptions, earthquakes, all that is and all that happens. Thunder and lightning ale caused when Zeus hurls his thunderbolt. A volcano erupts because a terrible creature is imprisoned in the mountain and every now and then struggles to get free. The Dipper (大熊星座), the constellation (星座) called also the Great Bear, does not set below the horizon because a goddess once was angry at it and decreed (命令) that it should never sink into the sea. Myths ale early science, the result of men's first trying to explain what they saw around them. But there are many so-called myths which explain nothing at all. These tales are pure entertainment, the sort of thing people would tell each other on a long winter's evening. The story of Pygmalion (皮格马利翁) and Galatea is all example; it has no conceivable connection with any event in nature. Neither has the Quest of the Golden Fleece (录找金羊毛), nor Orpheus (奥菲士，竖琴圣手) and Eurydice, nor many another. This fact is now generally accepted; and we do not have to try to find in every mythological heroine the moon or the dawn and in every hero's life a sun myth. The stories are early literature as well as early science. But religion is there, too. In the background, to be sure, but nevertheless plain to see. From Homer through the tragedians and even later, there is a deepening realization of what human beings need and what they must have in their gods.

单选题I switched on the TV and there they were again—the next crop of Miss World/Miss Universe candidates. The same practiced smiles, the same waving hands, the same hosts with their unreal crossbreed accents—the same. Yes, the show goes on. No time to enjoy the glory of the last set of titles. It's time to prepare for the next. Our Assembly Line is in place. It takes a whole year to prepare for the Miss World/ Miss Universe contest. And the young hopefuls give it their disciplined best almost as if they were preparing themselves for an ⅡT entrance test or the Civil Services exam. So what's wrong with that? If one set of kids can further their genetically gifted intellect, why can't another set further a similarly gifted Set of physical attributes? If brainy kids go to coaching classes, why can't the pretty ones go to physical trainers? If cosmetic surgery, dental cares, balanced diets and workout sessions produce a happier, healthier and more self-confident woman who can take the world in her stride, perhaps that's the way to go. Yes, we had just begun to accept it all. We had just begun to create the slots for the brainy ones and the beauties. And then, suddenly we got a Mrs. World Aditi Gowatrikar with her dreamy green eyes. Brainy, beautiful and a wonderful wife and mother to boot. The mother of a two-year-old who is also a doctor and a super model. Yes, Aditi has shown us that it is possible to do it all. But can she really be a symbol of Indian womanhood as some carried-away journalists and event managers have suggested? Is she the modern day Mother India? The one who can inspire the thousands of mothers and wives to break out of the petty confines of the roles they are forced to play? Will she find an echo among all those workingwomen dealing with families, bosses and unsupportive husbands? To most women, the word of Aditi Gowatrikar would seem like a different planet.
