American women continue to spend on their faces and bodies as much as they spent beforeabout three million pounds a week. These facts and figures are official and significant. To what is it due? In part, I supposed, to the increase in wealth. But this is, clearly, not the whole story. The cult(崇尚)of beauty must therefore be symptomatic of changes that have taken place outside the economic field. Of what changes? Of the changes, I suggest, in the social position of women; of the changes in our attitude towards “the merely physical. ”Women, it is obvious, are freer than in the past. Freer not only to perform the social functions reserved to the male, but also freer to exercise the right of being more attractive than before. The British housewife, a creature of severe and even terrifying aspect not long since, now does her best to achieve and preserve the appearance, which was strongly opposed to in the previous time. For we have now come to admit that body has its rights. It has, for example, a right to do the best for itself in the way of strength and beauty. We demand justice for the body as well as for the soul.What are the practical results of this modern cult for beauty? Are women more beautiful than they were? Do they get something for the huge amount of energy, time, and money demanded of them by the beauty-cult? These are questions which are difficult to answer, for the facts seem to be in conflict. The campaign for more physical beauty seems to be both a great success and a terrifying failure. It depends on how you look at the results.It is a success as more women keep their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past. This desirable consequence will be due in part to skin foods, facial surgery(外科手术), and paints, in part to improved health, due in its turn to a more reasonable way of life. Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease, beauty of health. In so far as the campaign for more beauty is also a campaign for more health, it is, up to a point, really successful. When that happy moment comes, will every woman be beautifulas beautiful as the natural shape of her features, with or without surgical and chemical aid, permits?The answer is definitely NO. The beauty of a porcelain(陶瓷)jar is a matter of shape, of color, of surface texture. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slimeit makes no difference to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep. For real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self. The womens beauty is therefore more than skin deep. The surface of a human is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents. I have seen women who were truly lovely. Their shape, their color, their surface were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful, for spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through. But on the contrary, there is an inside light that can change forms that are regarded imperfect or ugly. Most importantly, the cult of beauty is supposed to touch the deepest source of beautythe experiencing soul. It is not by improving skin foods, by cheapening health equipment and electrical hair removers, that the human race will be made beautiful; it is not even by improving health. All men and women will be beautiful only when the social arrangements give to every one of them an opportunity to live completely and harmoniously.【文章大意】该文章主要告诉我们美国女士长期以来喜欢美容, 其实美貌取决于生活得是否和谐和健康。1.

Cleanness is a fundamental thing.C. Thick make-up is not for everyone.D. “Pretty” doesnt happen over a night.E. Fine clothes make you the happiest man.F. Wear what makes you appear more attractive.Looking pretty or beautiful is a matter of understanding and evaluation. If youre confident about it in your mind, it will show in the way you behave, giving an instant flame to your personality. But if outward beauty is what youre aiming forand thats important, toothere are a few concrete steps you need to take.1. _A fresh-smelling person is instantly attractivethere are no two ways about it. Therefore, make it a point to shower every day, clean yourself all over, and shampoo your hair regularly. Not only will this make you feel fresh, it will also keep your skin and hair healthy and clean. Similarly, brush your teeth twice a day because bad breath is the sickest thing in the world. Make sure that your nails arent broken or chippeddirty and rough hands and fingernails can be very unattractive, no matter how “pretty” your face is. The same applies to your feetkeep your toenails neatly cut in a proper shape. Remember to regularly rub off the dead skin from your feet to keep them soft and pretty.2. _You have to keep working hard towards looking pretty, as ignoring the basic needs of your body wont make benefits. So, make it a point to eat regular, healthy meals every day, so your skin and hair can gain the foods they need to look nice. No kind of makeup can help you if your body lacks basic foods. Next, remember that your skin needs to be cleaned and watered at the end of each day, and this is an absolute rule. In case you wear makeup, be sure to thoroughly remove it before bedtime, as it can result in acne(粉刺). Regular moisturizing(湿润)will keep your skin soft and youthful, and if youre also eating right, you have nice and healthy skin.3. _It takes a lot of effort, a lot of expensive make-up, and an army of helpers to make a movie star look like she does on the red carpet. If you are in your teens, your skin is at its best, so theres really no need to hide it beneath layers of make-up. A basic eyeliner/lip gloss is enough to make you appear bright. And in case you have acne, more the reason to avoid using heavy make-up; if youre not careful, resulting in a fresh outbreak. You can use concealers(遮瑕霜)to hide sears and pimples, but make sure that you clean your face properly before you hit the bed at night.4. _It just doesnt make sense to wear whatever is the flavor of the season, especially if you dont feel comfortable wearing it. Dont you feel more confident the day you choose to wear your favorite set of clothes? Where do you think that comes from? It comes from within, obviously, because you know that youre looking good in it and youre also comfortable wearing it. So, its important to pick clothes that you like, that you think look good on you, rather than buy something because Vogue tells you to.5. _Finally, is there anyone who finds anger, rudeness, or terror attractive? If they do, youd rather stay away from them! But seriously, a well-mannered, soft-spoken, friendly person can make you attractive to almost anyone. Believe it or not, as in our younger years we tend to place emphasis on outward beauty rather than the overall personality. But think about itnearly every Disney story is about the same basic idea, so it ought to convince you to a great degree.【文章大意】本文为说明文, 主要介绍了保持美丽的几种方式。1. 【解析】B。根据该段的关键词clean, shower, brush等可知选B。2. 【解析】D。根据该段的关键词keep working hard, every day, pretty等可知选D。3. 【解析】C。根据该段的关键词thick make-up, enough, properly可知选C。4. 【解析】F。根据该段的关键词wear, comfortable, look good, clothes可知选F。5. 【解析】A。根据该段的关键词beauty, well-mannered, soft-spoken, friendly等可知选A。
