What conflicting idea does the author consider? Why do so many women seem obsessed with their weight and body shape? Are they really that unhappy and dissatisfied with themselves? In today’s society, the expectations for women and their bodies are all too evident. Fashion, magazines, talk shows, and “lite” and fat-free food in stores and restaurants are all daily reminders of these expectations. For instance, the latest fashions for women reveal more and more skin: shorts have become shorter, to the point of being scarcely larger than a pair of underpants. These styles are only flattering on the slimmest of bodies, and many women who were previously happy with their bodies may emerge from the dressing room after a run-in with these styles and decide that it must be diet time again. It seems that this obsession with the perfect body and a woman’s appearance has grown to monumental heights. Now many people feel that this problem is disappearing. People have begun to assume that women want to be thin because they just want to be “healthy.” But it is ironic. What has happened is that the sickness slips in under the guise of wanting a “healthy” body…

What does the author argue about in this passage?
A.There is only the property in things because there is property in people. People own their bodies and that ownership is the basis of their property.

M: Yes, well, I've been looking into the ability of certain animals to freeze themselves for a certain amount of time, and then to come back to life when the circumstances around them change. And, what I've been working on over the past two years is the particular process that enables them to do this.
W: What have you actually discovered?
M: I think it's a particular chemical in the animals' bodies which begins to work under certain circumstances. And I'm now experimenting with this chemical to see if I can get other animals that wouldn't normally be able to freeze themselves to be able to do this.
W: Have you had any success?
M: I have so far. It's been going very well. And I'm reasonably confident that perhaps within ten years from now I'll be able to freeze human beings for as long or as short a time as I would like to, and then bring them back to life again in exactly the same state that they were in before they were frozen ... just as you can do with animals.
W: And what's the main application of your research?
M: I think the main application of this for human beings would be for people with terminal illnesses, such as certain types of cancer, AIDS. we could freeze them, find a cure for the illness and then bring them back to life again and administer the cure.
W: I see. Well, this obviously is going to create great debate I would think as to the rights and wrongs of whether we should be actually doing this.
What does Professor Morgan do?
A.He is a film director of Science Fiction.
B.He is a writer of Science Fiction.
C.He is a scientist who researches on how to freeze a body and bring it back to life later.
D.He is a doctor who treats terminal illnesses.
W: That seems to be very common among people now, but I have to say, it is a little impolite in such a public place.
M: I can't agree more. I just thought I'd ask you and see what you thought of it. Anyway, what did you do yesterday evening?
W: Well, I planned to go to the gym, but it was really a warm evening, so I walked in the park for a couple of miles. Actually, several other people had the same idea. I saw Bill.
M: Did you? How is he these days?
W: He is OK. We just stopped and chatted for a few minutes Then he got a call and went back.
M: I see. So can you suggest a few exercises to help me stretch my muscles a little?
W: Sure. One good way is to do push-ups.
M: When I do push-ups, should I bend my elbows so that my nose touches the ground?
W: Actually, you don't need to bend your elbows that much Bend them so that your arms are at a 90 degree angle. The most important thing is to remember to keep your body straight. Many people bend their bodies at the waist which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
M: What's a good exercise for my chest muscles?
W: Lie on your back, hold a weight in each hand and stretch your arms outside of your body. Then lift the weights up keeping your arms straight all the time.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something m all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.
An artist hopes that the public will ______ .
A.understand him and learn from him
B.notice only shapes and colors in his work
C.teach him something
D.believe what he says in his work
Questions 1~5 are based on the following passage Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies are far more advanced than that of the old times. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our body. There are on the market all k inds of vitamins which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things, which are needed for good health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our body and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamins unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something, which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our body, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay too little attention to other s, we may have too much of one kind and not enough of others . Then we may be in trouble.We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary proteins. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat . We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is what we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any .<One may take certain vitamins when _______. A.one wants to encourage the growth of a particular part of the body B.one eats all kinds of food C .one’s health is harmed by the lack of certain things which can be supplied by vitamins D.one eats well and properly

Although the dance critic Connerton defines social memory as composed of
the recollections and images of the past that a particular social group considers
worthy of preservation, he does not properly account for its development. By
Line highlighting the role of dance's ritual enactment in conveying and sustaining
(5) social memory, he emphasizes dance performance's unconscious
communications, rather than the conscious transmission of the community's
folklore and history. While he successfully establishes that "bodily social
memory of dance" is a highly conservative force that creates an inertia in
society's structures and may be implicated in the legitimization of the present
(10) social order, he does not adequately account for the complexities in the
processes of bodily inscription, for it is precisely because bodily automatism
limits the scope for critical evaluation, or readability, that the body is a site of
intense struggle over the control of what is inscribed upon it. Nor does
Connerton acknowledge that the very physical violence he describes as
(15) perpetrated upon bodies, especially subordinate bodies, to habituate them to
submissive dance postures, attests in reality to their unwillingness to submit to
inscription, and not vice-versa. Thus his theory is helpful in articulating the
nature of social memory, but ultimately fails to explain how such memories are
acquired.
According to the passage, which of the following does Connerton exclude from his conception of the cultural role of dance?
A.The role of physical violence in establishing submissive dance postures
B.The notion that dance preserves and ossifies social structures
C.The function of dance in providing a conscious reminder of a community' history
D.The role of dance in sustaining social memory
E.The process of bodily inscription in creating bodily social memory
