The Fat Problem that Men Face

It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them "tailored".

Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, "Fat, medium or thin？" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, "Am I getting fatter？ " His wife is expected to answer, "You look like you may have lost a few pounds."

And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he's fat？

Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem.

A．Right

B．Wrong

回答题

We" ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people， and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school， given special attention by their teachers. In life， as in love， beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating， good looks could actually hurt you？

According to a recent survey of 43，000 users by OK Cupid， an online dating site， the moremen disagree about a woman" s looks， the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match？ " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your weaknesses" is the opposite of what you should do，" says the site"s co-founder， Christian Rudder. "If you" re a little fat， play it up. If you have a big nose， play it up. Statistically， the guys who don"t like it can only help you， and the ones who do like it will be all the more exciteD."

The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good， but online， as in work and life， women who are too attractive don"t always have an advantage.

Beauty creates more competition——among women， taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction; and among men， who are competing for the most attrac- tive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it" s pos- sible for a woman to suffer for being "too good-looking" ; why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers; or， finally， why men on OK Cupid end up con- tacting women who may ultimately be less attractive——because it removes the opposition. "If you suspect other men are uninterested， it means less competition，" explains Rudder. "You might start thinking: maybe she"s lonely.， maybe she"s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her. at least I won" t get lost in the crowD."

In the end， being beautiful will always have its blessings——but sometimes， there" s more to an

advantage than meets the eye.

It is generally believed that beautiful people_______ 查看材料

A.have less difficult in life

B.are less worried about love

C.pay less attention to others

D.like to gaze at lovely babies

听力原文：When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to go and face the music", it does no

听力原文： When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to go and face the music", it does not mean he is planning to go to a concert. [32] It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that. Sour music, indeed, but it has to be faced. The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from？ [33] The first information came from the American writer James Fenimore Cooper. He said--in 1851--that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, "It's time to go to face the music". And that is exactly what they did--face the orchestra which was just below the stage.

[34] An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. So, "to face the music" came to mean having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you had no choice. The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection by their leader. [35]The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean and shiny enough to pass inspection？ Still, the men had to go out, and face the music of the band, as well as the inspection. What else could they do？

(7)

A．Your boss's order.

B．Your leader's inspection.

C．Something unpleasant to be experienced.

D．Sour pop music.

Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come fr

om the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way．Our expression today is “to face the music”． When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert．It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that．Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children．We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you．” and only because we did not obey him．What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old,It is at least 100 years old ．And where did this expression come from？ The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper．He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage．When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music．” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them．And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines．But he had to go out．If he did not, there would be no play．So the expression “to face the music” come to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice．” Other explanations about the expression go back to the army．When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked ．Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection？ Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection．What else could they do？ Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done．As, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored ．The band does not play．Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat．The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse． How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from？ A．1 B．2 C．3 D．4

听力原文：How do you rise to the top in business？ What personal qualities, skills, and back

听力原文： How do you rise to the top in business？ What personal qualities, skills, and background are needed？ Such questions are frequently asked by students preparing to enter the work force and by men and women already in the business world.

Some companies want executives who combine administrative ability with a specialty in some branch of knowledge, such as mathematics or engineering. Other companies look for people skilled in human relations. For them, good management is the art of solving "people problems".

These are interesting insights, but what are the specific traits that will help people to climb the ladder of success？

First, drive. Business takes an unusual amount of energy. A successful executive—almost by definition—is a striver. According to one industrial psychologist, 86.5% of top managers have a higher activity level than the average middle managers. Top men get tense when they are not striving.

Second, people sense. Some say being able to judge people is more important than a high IQ. The skill can be instinctual, but in most cases it's learned through hard work.

Third, communication ability. An executive gets things done through other people. That means his communications must come through loud and clear. Different executives make themselves understood in different ways. Some transmit ideas best face to face; others are masters of the telephone call; still others are persuasive writers. One way or another, they all communicate clearly.

Fourth, calm under pressure, or as Hemingway put it, "grace under pressure". No businessman will get very far if he chokes up.

Its time to reevaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over－com

Its time to reevaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get you where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career goals.

Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted？ Nearly twice as many women than men ages 18-44 reported feeling very tired or exhausted, according to a recent study.

This may not be surprising given that this is the age range when women have children. It’s also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reason women may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying "no." Women want to be able to do it all volunteer for school parties or cook delicious meals-and so their answer to any request is often Yes, I can.

Women struggle to say no in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues. Unfortunately, this inability to say "no" may be hurting women's heath as well as their career.

At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive to be the peacemaker, because they don't want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive at work. For example, theres a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, resulting in a dispute over should be the one to fix it. Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benefits them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what's the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problemeven if that means doing the boring work themselves.

This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor on who gets promoted to a leadership position and who does not. Leaders have to be able to delegate and manage resources wiselyincluding staff expertise. Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, it may highlight your inability to delegate effectively.

51. What does the author say is the problem with women？

A、They are often unclear about the career goals to reach.

B、They are usually more committed at home than on the job.

C、They tend to be over-optimistic about how far they could go.

D、They tend to push themselves beyond the limits of their ability.

52. Why do working women of child-bearing age tend to feel drained of energy？

A、They struggle to satisfy the demands of both work and home.

B、They are too devoted to work and unable to relax as a result.

C、They do their best to cooperate with their workmates.

D、They are obliged to take up too many responsibilities.

53. What may hinder the future prospects of career women？

A、Their unwillingness to say no.

B、Their desire to be considered powerful.

C、An underestimate of their own ability.

D、A lack of courage to face challenges.

54. Men and woman differ in their approach to resolving workplace conflicts in that______.
