million'miracle:Amanda gave birth to fraternal twin(异卵双胞胎)girls with completely different skin colors,.and the greatly amazed parents gave their daughters intertwined names:one would be Millie Marcia MadgeBiggs,the other Marcia Millie Madge Biggs.From a young age the girls had similar features but very different color schemes.Marcia had light brown hairand fair skin like her English-born white mother,while Millie had black hair and brown skin like her blackfather,who is of Jamaican descent.'We never worried about it;we just accepted it,'Michael says.'When they were first born,Amanda recalls,'people would look at my one daughter and then look at myother daughter.Then Id get asked the question:'Are they twins?"But one's white and one's black.'According to Amanda,people who commented on the girls weren't openly discriminatory (or judgmental-just very curious,and then as time went on,people just saw the beauty in them.The twins know what racism is.Racism is where somebody judges you by your color and not by your true self,'Millie says.Michael,the father,says he's faced inequality at times throughout his life because of the color of his skin.But it's a different time now,he says.Neither he nor Amanda has ever witnessed racist behavior toward theirtwin girls.'When people see us,they think that we're just best friends,'Marcia says.'When they learn that we're twins,they're kind of shocked because one's black and one's white.'But when the twins are asked about theirdifferences,they mention something else entirely.'Millie likes things that are girlie.She

typical patient at my plastic surgery clinic in McLean,Va.,was 47 or 48.They generallywanted to look like a younger version of themselves.This might mean a face or neck lift,eyelid lifts,a skin-resurfacing procedure or Botor injections.'What do you recommend?they'd ask.This is the kindof work I am erpecting to do,and these are the consultations I am erpecting to give.Today,my average patient,according to my office records,is 38 or 39.They'll come in with a specific 'flaw'on their faces and often know exactly what procedure they want.They are pretty sure that their noses are toobig,their chins are too large,or their eyebrows appear dull.And these patients are much less realistic aboutwhat I can achieve.They will ask for Kim Kardashian's nose,even if their facial structure looks nothing likehers.There's a reason for this rapid and radical change:selfies.The self-taken photograph is greatly attacking theconfidence of many younger people.They come to my offices,show me their selfies and point to a defect ontheir faces,which is a totally normal shape to me.Often they will have already searched online till they'vefound someone with a similar "issue"who fired it with surgery.Once,a 20-year-old,having studied countlessimages of herself and searched hundreds of pictures of the ideal looks she wanted,said she needed a facelift.But to me,no 20-year-old needs a facelift.Selfies also mislead people about how they look.Smartphone cameras get better each year,but photos taken atarm's length or closer often produce a'fish eve'effect:whatever's at the center of the photo is bigger,andthings on the edge are smaller.A study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery last year found that selfiesmake noses look 30 percent larger than they are.A survey done by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons last year found that social media was driving moreplastic surgery requests than any other social influence:more than TV,movies or magazines.People arespending more time looking at themselves,in an online environment where comparisons with others seeminevitable.Academic psychologist Brian Feinstein,who studied a sample of 268 college-age adults,has foundthat the more people use social media,the more they reflect on their own supposed drawbacks,and thereforecauses self-confidence to drop.[1]Why did the author's typical patients want plastic surgery ten years ago?A.They were recommended to do so.C.They'd like to look younger than they really were.第3页1共14页夸克学习有夸克就有解【2】What can we know about Kim Kardashian?A.She is a patient of the author's.B.She is a model

ureal.[4]Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.Selfies Are Weakening Self-confidence.B.Young People Like to Take Selfies.C.More People Are Getting Plastic Surgery.D.People Like to Look Better in Selfies.A.Dysleria (is a reading and writing disability characterized by difficulties in reading and spelling.and for some readers to understand what they have read.Experts say dysleria affects about five to ten percentof the population of the United States.Researchers have long known that people with dysleria write or readwords and letters backwards in the wrong order.But a new study shows that people with dysleria may have trouble redirecting (their attention betweensenses,from seeing something to hearing something.Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Orford led thestudy.She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology.The study suggests that dysleric people mayhave trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.Doctor Harrar calls this a sluggishshifting of attention across the senses.'So,if you are trying to read something and then trying to listen to somebody who's reading aloud and you'retrying to follow along with what they are reading,they have to switch their attention from hearing what theyare saying to looking at the piece of paper and back again.'said Harrar.She found that people with dysleria were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard onlya sound.But the dyslerics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the sametime.Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dysleric people shift from seeing to hearingmore quickly.She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.'Video game types of things pop out of here and there,they move your eyes around the screen quickly inresponse to things quite quickly,and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing.Sothe video game is really training the attention system to move quickly,'said Harrar.The study also shows that dysleric people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they第4页1共14页夸克学习有夸克就有解heard,this may have an effect on how dysleric children are taught how to read.When children learn thealphabet,they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound,or they see and hear the letter at the sametime.The study shows that dyslerics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first[1]Dysleric people have the following problems exceptA.writing or reading words and letters in the right orderB.redirecting their attention between senses,from seeing something to hearing somethingC.moving quickly from what they read to what they hearD.seeing a picture or hearing a sound【2】What

and hearing.C.Because they can train the attention system to move quickly.D.Because they can arouse their interest in reading and learning.【4】What is the importance of the finding?A.People with dysleria will be cured by playing video games.B.People with dysleria will not be made fun of by others.D.People will know how to teach dusleric children to read.其他阅读题型1.Rising through stages to realize ourselvesMany modern people have the problem that they don't know who they are and what their purpose is.[1]Once high school seniors graduate,they seem to lose their identity.They once studied hard.But after they stopworking,they begin to lose their way.In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needst(需求理论)，Abraham Maslo,put forward a similar situation,whichconsists of the five levels of a person's need.The fifth and final level is self-realization,which is where ourfinal achievement lies.[2]I think self-realization has three major aspects.The first stage is acceptance,the second stage is discoveryand the last stage is perseverance.Acceptance is the first stage.We should be reminded that we are all born uique,so we all have our own第5页/共14页
