单选题Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice of finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in 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 perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" 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 the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
单选题 Most mothers have a good piece of advice: Never go
into a supermarket hungry! If you go shopping for food before lunch time, you'll
probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice
isn't enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education on how
and how not to buy things at the grocery store. First, you should check the
weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you
really need those things. In others words, don't buy anything just because it's
cheaper than usual! "New and Improved!" or" All natural" on the front of a
package influences you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the back.
Third, compare prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different
brands and different sizes of the same brand. Another
suggestion for consumers is to buy genetic (普通的) items instead of famous brands.
Genetic items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper
because manufacturers don't spend much money on packing or advertising. The
quality, however, is usually identical to the quality of well-known name brands.
In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low
prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can
help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren't very attractive, and
they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low,
but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced
department stores. Wise consumers read magazine advertisements
and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the
psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for
information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the
advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there
any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an
attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise
choice.

To find Kim Hyung Gyoon's office in Samsung's
R the others were washed in a machine with the Ag + Nano System.The next
day, I asked everyone to check the odor of their socks after a day's wear.One
began to produce a strong unpleasant smell, and the other was
odorless." Kim says he came up with the idea five years ago
while on a business trip to Japan, where he learned of a brand of socks
that retained their freshness even after many days of unwashed wear and
tear.Tiny sticks of silver with germ-killing chemicals were woven into
fabric.When he got back to Seoul, Kim applied the principle to washing
machines. According to the Korea Testing the
revolutionary technology is also being used in Samsung's refrigerators and air
conditioners. No wonder: consumers seem to like a little silver
in their spin cycles.Since Samsung's nano-armed products were first launched,
they have brought in an estimated $779 million in revenue.Overall, nanotech has
been one of science's fastest- growing fields in recent years, with potential
applications in fields as diverse as energy production and toothpaste
manufacture.The nanotech market is projected tO be worth $1 trillion by
2015.
单选题Read the pieces taken from five letters to a magazine by five people commenting on an article about global warming. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Mikhil Jaisinghani:
After reading your article "The Truth About Global Warming" , I''m no less concerned about the earth''s environmental condition. You say "Scientists are still differing with huge gaps in their knowledge." But Lindzen, the writer of the article, is no closer to the truth simply because he can criticize. Global warming may be far from understood, but let us act to prevent it anyway, just in case the effects are real.
John Leaver:
It''s shameful that you present Lindzen''s views on climate change as "The Truth About Global Warming." It seems that your magazine is keeping an open mind, even though you admit that most climate scientists disagree with Lindzen''s opinions. You characterize the view that waste gases should be cut as "very European." I take it that it is very American to pursue a policy of unlimited energy consumption without considering what most scientists and other countries think.
Thomas Hervouet:
How can we believe a man who holds that there is only a very weak link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking? Lindzen''s position is unacceptable because it shows his lack of knowledge about cancer. I believe that French President Jacques Chirac is more informed on global warming — which no serious scientist denies — than President Bush, whose interests depend on the oil industry.
Hans-Joachim Hell:
What Lindzen says makes sense to me. For years I''ve read articles on negative climatic change and greenhouse effect. The only agreement seems to be "We agree that we disagree. " Considering the recent chilly summers in Germany, I''ve no idea where the "warming" can be found. In past decades, summers were hot, almost unbearable. Now, in the midst of summer, we turn the heaters on and wear warm clothes.
Derek Kickinson:
The U. S. government should act for the American people by signing the Kyoto Agreement, instead of acting for Big Oil in America. Even if scientists cannot agree on the numbers, global warming is taking place, and this is not beneficial for the planet. The anti-Kyoto position of the U. S. government is a short-term political move, but the long-term losers will be the American people and the environment.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Lindzen really has a point to make on global warming.
[B] America will pay a price for its shortsightedness some day.
[C] Though opinions on global warming vary, we have to do something about it.
[D] Lindzen seems unqualified to speak of the effects of global warming on health.
[E] You really have an open mind to present Lindzen''s position on global warming.
[F] It''s good that Lindzen''s article helps further the discussion on global warming.
[G] America''s attitude toward waste gas control is to be blamed rather than Europe''s.
单选题Some scientists supported the statement that ______.
