If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo(文身)design on her arm and she had a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shiny skin.
On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic (麻藥)and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar? there is a small group of people who are called the "PapaungThey believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.

A
Many years ago, Dr Cronin occasionally wrote an unusual treatment for some of his patients who were feeling down. He would insist that for six weeks the pa?tients say "Thank you" for every kindness and he had a great cure rate.
Everyone gets down at times, and sharpening your sense of gratitude(感激)can make a difference. I have observed again and again that people's hap?piness is not usually found in getting what they want; it comes from apprecia?ting what they have.
Writer Arthur Gordon used to tell about asking a doctor friend for the name of the most effective treatment he knew. "Well, I'll tell you," his friend said. "A colleague of mine once had a woman patient who suffered from de?pression. The usual prescription didn't seem to help."
One day this doctor sent a small package to the woman's home. "I want you to take what's in this package," he said, "and spend ten minutes every?day looking through it at some objects in this room.,,
In the package there was a magnifying glass(放大鏡).She began looking at her sofa. She was amazed at what she saw. Then she examined a flower picked from her garden and even her own skin. She was amazed at the brand new world opening up before her eyes.
As this woman gazed at her world through a magnifying glass, she saw, in a completely different way, what had been around her all along. Her sense of wonder gave way to another more powerful emotion―gratitude. The doctor said that her experience with the glass was the turning point of her illness. She began to appreciate what she had and get well.
Do you practise gratitude? 1 think you'll discover that it is a great way to keep happy.

A. To show that Dr Cronin was a great doctor.
B. To introduce what the author wants to talk about.

A. play with her furniture as often as she could
B. look at the world through a magnifying glass
C. look for some objects she had lost in her house
D. spend ten minutes taking exercise every day
3.What did the doctor probably want the woman to understand?
A. Happiness comes from appreciating what we have.
B. Our life will be ruined if we are too careful.
C. The magnifying glass will open a brand new world to us.
D. Our life will become colourful with the help of the magnifying glass.
4. What does the underlined word " prescription" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Paper. B. Plan. C. Treatment. D. Award
5. According to the passage, practising gratitude is a good way of

We all know the importance of curiosity, and here are some tips on how to develop it.
Keep an open mind. This is essential if you are to have a curious mind. Be open to learning, unlearning, and relearning things. 9 Therefore, you should be prepared to accept this possibility and change your mind.
10 Most people just accept the world as it is. This way, they will certainly lose the "holy curiosity". Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions. What, why, when, who, where, and how are the questions curious people always ask.
Don't label anything as boring. Whenever you label something as boring, you close one more door of possi?bilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring. 11 Even if they don't yet have time to ex?plore them, they will leave the door open to be visited another time.
Take learning as something fun. If you see learning as a burden, there's no way you will want to dig deeper into anything. That will just make the burden heavier. However, if you think of learning as something fun, you will naturally want to dig deeper. 12
Read diverse materials. It will introduce you to the possibilities and excitement of other worlds which may attract your interest in exploring further. One easy way to do this is through reading diverse materials. 13 It'll feed your mind with the excitement of a new world.
A. Never take things as granted.
B. Don't spend too much time on just one world.
C. Try to pick a book or a magazine on a new subject.
D. Some things you know and believe might be wrong.
E. It doesn't matter that you don't agree to others' opinions.
F. Instead t they always see these things as a door to a new exciting world.
G. So look at life through the glasses of fun and enjoy the learning process.
