How the iron of tomorrow (the first Self Clean Iron)can change your lifestyle today?
General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow. The iron can clean itself, inside where irons get dirty. Because it cleans itself each and every time you empty it.
How? With a push of a magic blue button.
The magic blue button
The first thing you’ll notice that’s different about this iron is the blue button on the side. It’s marked “Self Clean”. Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits that remain and block up inside. Push this button, and you’ve made life a lot easier.
Less chance of brown spots
Sure, Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots. (Those ugly spots that happen on nice, cleanly pressed clothes.) Because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic blue button.
Steams much longer
Common sense tells you that if you’ve an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long period of time. In other words, it steams much longer. That’s another joy of owning General Electric’s Self Cleaning Iron.
What does it mean to you
Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids.
You’re working. You’re going to school. It’s all part of your lifestyle. The iron can change that lifestyle. By giving you less trouble before you iron. If we can make it easier for you to be a better wife, a better mother, a better housemaker, we want to. The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric.
Lifestyle.
We’re with yours.

  Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors 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 men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.

     Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive 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 feminine 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, ir o_nler 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 completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.

51. The word "liability" most probably means        

    A. disadvantage     B. advantage         C. misfortune        D. trouble

52. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness       

      A. makes women look more honest and capable

      B. strengthens the feminine qualifies required

      C. is of no importance to women

      D. often enables women to succeed quickly

53. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to polities, attractiveness        

      A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men

      B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women

      C. affects men and women alike

      D. has as little effect on men as on women

54. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often      

      A. practical     B. supportive      C. old-fashioned    D. one-sided

55. The author writes this passage to

      A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive

      B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive

      C. demand equal rights for women

      D. state the importance of appearance

閱讀理解。
     To be a good teacher, you need some of the talents of a good actor: you must be able to hold attention and
interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under
your control; you must be able to act what you are teaching,in order to make its meaning clear.  
     A good teacher does't sit still before his class；he stands all the time while he is teaching; he walks about,
using his arms,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations,and his face to express his feelings. Listen to
him,and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to
what he is talking about. 
      The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed be able to
act well on the stage, for the re are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. the
actor has to speak words he has learnt by heart；he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays
a certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What
he has to do is to make all the se carefully learnt words seem natural on the stage.
     A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play-the y ask and
answer questions,the y obey orders,and if the y don't understand something,the y say no. the teacher the
refore has to meet the needs of his audience. He can't learn his part by heart,because the ir brains couldn't keep
discipline:the y couldn't keep strictly to what another has written.
1. If you want to be a good teacher, you should _____.  
A. act out what you have learnt strictly
B. be a good actor on the stage
C. sit all the time while teaching
D. suit the need of different students
2. the underlined word talents in the first paragraph means _____.
A. methods
B. girls
C. wishes
D interests
3. In what way is a teacher's work different from that of an actor's?
A. the teacher must learn everything by heart.
B. He has to deal with unexpected situations.  
C. He has to use more facial expressions.
D. He has to control his voice better than an actor.
4. the main difference between students and audience in the the atre is that students _____.
A. move around the class
B. keep silent all the time
C. take an active part in class
D. 1ike body language
5. If Tom Hanks,the famous actor, would like to be a good teacher, he may need training in _____. 
A. how to use body language
B. how to repeat his lines
C. how to be more quick-minded
D. how to be attractive
