There is a saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” What one person considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes.  but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight (深刻的了解) or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance.

The most memorable “beautiful people” are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces. In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls. Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slender(纤细的) figures. But Lin was used to getting her own way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty in a matter of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.

Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have this kind of beauty have attained(获得) inner peace. They care about their fellowmen, and try to right the injustices in this world, Two well-known personalities who exemplify this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa.  Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Theresa’s mission is to help the poorest of the world’s poor. This inner beauty makes the world a better place.

Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.

The first is called the “tank test”. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure  (压力)  on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water.  Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger,

The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again.  These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.

68. By doing the “tank test”, the engineers can find out ________.

A. the power of the airplane engines   B. the amount of air in the plane

C. the strength of the plane structure   D. the pressure inside and outside the plane

69. What will happen to the plane under the “tank test”?

A. It will be tested by pilots.     B. It will be broken.

C. It will be made stronger.     D. It will be filled with water.

70. According to the text. why are test flights most dangerous?

A. Too much air may get into the plane.   B. The plane may explode in the air.

C. The pilot may lose control of the plane.  D. The engines may be damaged.

71. What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested   B. Two Important Tests on Airplanes

C. The Importance of Flying Safely   D. The Danger of Testing Airplanes

For almost two months Dominic York. a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals at night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He has even been allowed to assist a surgeon(外科医生) during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had eaten.

“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope (听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. At first I just watched.  Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it’s easy to take people in.” he said.

One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came to hospital. York was standing over her.

“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”

Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his cheating for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders.

“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all. you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists (精神科医生) who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself area psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,” Judge Adams warned York.

72. York was proud of’ the fact that ________.

A. people thought he could become a real doctor   B. a surgeon let him watch an operation

C. he could perform some duties of a doctor      D. he had cheated doctors for so long

73. York learned how to behave like a doctor by ________.

A. observing doctors while he was a patient     B. watching other doctors work

C. talking to doctors and nurses       D. getting some training and experience

74. Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?

A. She had lost consciousness while driving.     B. She had swallowed something and almost died.

C. She had to have an emergency operation.    D. She had been injured in a road accident.

75. The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he ________.

A. studied the behaviour of the psychiatrist     B. pretended to be a psychiatrist

C. tried to get away from prison      D. was proud of what he had done
