单选题Skin Care护肤 The eyes are described as the windows of the soul, the mouth as the courier of thought, and the nose as the servant of olfaction. The skin is just the frame to the picture. Unfortunately, many judge themselves according to this frame. They could either have feelings of content or censure of their own physical features. Good health and self-esteem go hand-in-hand during the process of exercising and establishing good health habits. The skin's clarity of ache, wrinkles, and sunburns is merely assistance to their stature of confidence. Having healthy skin is a step to confidence. Becoming worry-free of appearances is practicing good sleeping, eating, and drinking habits that lead to the success of a healthy looking person. Adolescents need about 8-10 hours of sleep a night, and adults need less than that. However, the body needs to rest and save energy for ongoing activities. Eating properly from the four basic food groups maintains the balance of proteins and nutrients. Fluid consumption of water is more recommended by doctors than the choice of soft drinks that are out on the market. Water provides plenty of water that is the key to have that fresh natural look. When actress, Rebecca Gayheart, (the commercial model of Noxema)was interviewed by Shape magazine in the 1998 November issue, she said, "My beauty routine is basically plenty of sleep and lots of water. " Exercising regularly will circulate blood and keep skin firm and toned. Getting involved in an activity that a person enjoys, and they are most likely to be happy and look more healthy. Having to be the largest organ of the human body, the skin's main function is to protect the body from microbes. Because of the large coverage of the skin over the body, it would be encouraged to take care of its texture and form. Many desire healthy looking skin that is smooth and firm. The attraction for this desire makes the market place booming with industry in order to fulfil the consumers' desire. Viewers at home can be guaranteed to see some type of commercial advertisement on TV that focuses on the integument and appendages of hair, make-up, lotions, or nail products. Keeping the face clear promotes good self-esteem and confidence to one's appearance. Good skin can save time from make-up. When a girl wants to step out for a night of the town, the pimples and blemishes on her face will be the last thing that she will be conscious of. Little things can be erupted from something so miniscule. The first thing to combat would be the pores. Pores are what allows the skin to breathe. If pores were to be blocked by dirt, oil, or make-up, unwanted ache would take place. Avoid wearing make-up to sleep and touching the face when hands are dirty. Pores can be kept clean if washed daily, by using a soft facial cleanser versus the usage of deodorant soaps. Whenever heading for the pool or a day out in the sun, never forget to protect your skin from hazardous Ultraviolet (UV)rays. By overexposure to Ultraviolet rays, you're more likely to develop cancer. Through the appliance of sunscreen upon the exposed skin, and underneath make-up we can decrease the odds are more likely to be in your favor. Do not go out and tan, because that ruins the outer membranes. The high percentage of risk upon skin cancer is a large fear.

单选题Genetically modified (GM) foodstuffs are here to stay. That"s not to say that food produced by 41 agriculture will disappear, 42 simply that food buying patterns will polarize. It may even be that GM food will become the food of 43 because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced 44 use. The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep 45 with the world"s 46 population growth to ten or eleven billion. It"s not 47 a question of more mouths to feed either. 48 is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land 49 for agriculture. It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world 50 benefits most from GM foods. It"s true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be 51 expensive. But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here—once the technology has been developed for money—spinning crops, 52 maize, soy beans and cotton, it will become 53 for all. This doesn"t mean, unfortunately, that families will 54 , but severity and duration will be helped by an 55 ability to produce and distribute food. 56 we move into this new era of agriculture we"re embarking on a journey the world has seen any number of times with experiments before. We have been 57 species of wheat for several thousand years. Genetic engineers like me are not doing anything as 58 as making a cabbage into a cauliflower— 59 has been done by plant breeders in the past. We"re simply tapping into the whole gene pool, 60 concentrating on one species at a time.

单选题{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}} Rising Prices Cause House "Apartheid"涨价导致房屋的“种族隔离” The Government has admitted that soaring house prices have left people on average incomes, such as teachers and nurses, locked out of buying their first homes across large parts of southern England, including London and most of the South East. A spokeswoman for the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, admitted last night that there was now an effective "housing apartheid", with people in their own homes pulling further and further away from those yet to get on the property ladder. With house prices rising at between 15 and 20 percent a year, incomes, which are rising at between 5 and 10 percent a year, cannot keep up. "Increasing housing supply is a national priority. In large areas of the wider South East, house purchase remains out of reach for families with average household incomes," the official said． A new report out tomorrow will reveal the full scale of the housing crisis. The study by Cambridge University for the housing charity Shelter reveals that the Government will need to spend ￡3.5 billion a year to solve the housing problem. More than 50,000 new homes are needed every year to help people on lower incomes to have their own homes. By 2014 a city the size of Leeds will need to be built. Critics point out that, without the money, millions of people employed in the public sector will be unable to move to the South East to fill vacancies. Without a new influx of staff, many hospitals and schools say that they will struggle to maintain standards. The Government is now expected to announce a package of measures in the Budget to try to help first-time buyers. The Treasury is considering raising the point at which people have to pay stamp duty, a tax paid on every house purchase. The present threshold of ￡60,000 has remained unchanged since 1993, despite house prices increasing by 160 percent in that time. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor, faces being accused of maintaining the threshold as a way of raising more tax because as house prices rise more and more people are dragged into paying the surcharge. More than 75 percent of all first-time buyers now pay the tax. "The Government has to act," said Adam Sampson , the director of Shelter. The lack of affordable housing has a destabilising effect on the economy and its cost in human terms is massive. "Successive governments have spoken about the growing housing crisis. It has now got to the point where it cannot be ignored any longer. Housing should be given the same priority as the other key areas of public life, health and education. " The report says that more than three-quarters of all new homes are needed in the South of England, with about 20 percent in the North and the Midlands. Shelter's figures on housing demand will form the basis of a Treasury review of housing to be published at the time of the Budget next week. The review, by Kate Barker, is likely to say that tens of thousands of new houses are needed and that planning restrictions should be relaxed so that housing developments can be built more easily. She will also criticise a culture of nimbyism which has crept into many, particularly rural, towns. Many local communities block new housing even though it is desperately needed． A study released this weekend by the Halifax revealed that first-time buyers cannot get on to the property ladder in 80 percent of towns and cities across the country. The bank said that areas were classed as "unaffordable" if first-time buyers needed to borrow more than 4.27 times the local average salary to buy a home. By that calculation, 100 percent of towns and cities in East Anglia were out of reach of first- time buyers, while 98 percent of towns and cities in the South West were unaffordable. The Government is set to announce large amounts of extra funding for house building in the Budget. By 2006 the amount spent will have increased by ￡900 million, or 25 percent. There will also be a ￡5 billion pot of money provided for affordable housing by 2006.
