             For more than a century it was thought that a beautifol face was appealing because it was a co ection of average features. Using his computer system,Dr David Perrett of the University of St Andrews has challenged the theory. In a key experiment,photographs of women were ranked tor their attractiveness by a number of volunteers Two composite pictures were then created;

one,tile average of all the pictures,the other made lrom those rated most attractive. Although the faces looked very similar at first sight,most people said they preferred the composite of most attractive faces.

            “The conclusion I reached," said Dr Perrett was that the most attractive face was not average. If you look at famous film stars and supermodels,most of them have Wefl/ (理想的) features 一 larger than normal eyes,higher arched eyebrows,slightly smaller noses,and higher cheekbones  Even popular cartoon characters such as Betty Boop,Yasmin from Aladdin and Bambi have big eyes,small tumed-up noses,big mouths and small chins. And if these features are exaggerated,the attractiveness rating goes up even more. Julia Roberts is a good example of this." 

            But what do scientists make of men^，s faces? Do men with large eyes,high cheekbones and a small chin have the same appeal? Researchers were a bit shocked at the top-ranking male face. They expected it to have the classic square jaw and strong cheekbones,but instead,women seem to prefer men with gentle faces.

            Dr Perrett puts forward a reason to explain why so many women now go for baby-faced stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jude Law. Women like a man with (女性化的) face because he is more likely to make a kinder and more trustworthy husband and father.

           But do these ideals of beauty manage to cross cultural boundaries? Are the same features considered to be attractive all over the world? A worldwide study carried out by Professor Cunningham of the University of Louisville,Kentucky concluded that there were only very subtle differences between different cultures. In other words,although there might be a little truth in the old saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,by and large,we all seem to be attracted to the same things.

6. Dr Perrett reached his conclusion mainly by.

   A. telling true stories

   A. making comparisons

   B. setting down general rules

   C. following the order of importance

7. According to Dr Perrett's theoiy,Julia Roberts is considered very.

8.Which of the following features of men is most attractive to women?

   A. Large eyes. B. Baby faces

   C. Big mouths. D. High cheekbones.

9. According to the author,people from different cultures.

   A. seem little attention to their differences

   B. have completely different views about beauty

   C. have managed to cross cultural boundaries

   D. seem to have the similar standard of beauty 

10. What does the text mainly discuss?

   A. Is beauty everywhere?

   B. Is beauty only skin-deep?

   C. Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?

   D. Does beauty only belong to great women?

                                  A 

           On Tuesday,scientists announced that they have discovered the bones of four settlers in. Jamestown,Virginia,dating as far back as 1608. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what became the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as America^，s first Protestant church(新教教會(huì)).

           The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men,Rev.Robert Hunt,Capt. Gabriel Archer,Sir Ferdinando Wainman,and Capt. William West,all played a role in the Jamestown settlement. After being lost to history for more than 400 years,the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.

           “This is a very important discovery,” Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement. “These men were among the first founders of English America."

            About 100 people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement m 1607. During that time,settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Amencans in the area and with other English settlers.

            "They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement — when Jamestown almost ended in  failure," Horn said. ^“The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives ”

            The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation fouund the remains in November of 2013. Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.

             Findings from the burials will go on display within weeks at Historic Jamestowne^ The site also plans to honor the men and will keep their bones in a safe place for foture study.
