One fine morning, a holy(神圣的) man visited the country. He heard about the ill health of the king and told the minister to meet him at his place, which was far from the king’s palace. When the minister came, the holy man said that he could easily cure the king. Hearing these promising words, the minister became very happy. Since the king could not move his body, the minister asked the holy man to go to the king’s palace to treat him. However, the holy man refused and said that he would treat the king only if the king came on foot to his place.

26、   Beauty sleep is a real thing. Researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive to others.

A few bad nights is enough to make a person look especially more ugly, their sleep experiments show.

The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night’s sleep for two nights.

A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours, every night for two nights in a row. The researchers took make-up fee (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.

Next,they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?

The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.

The strangers also said they wouldn’t want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don’t want to hang around with people who might be ill.

Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said ,”Judgment of attractiveness is often unconscious(无意识的), but we all do it , and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.”

27、I was twenty years old, and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be. The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office. But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目录) of courses that were being offered at the local college. As I looked through it, I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language. It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations, such as law companies, the Stock Exchange, insurance companies and banks. Then I saw something that really caught my eye: “Singer” are also needed for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances and, believe it or not, circuses! By the time I got to the bottom of the page, I knew I had found the perfect occupation.

I enrolled (注册) on the course, which to my parents’ great delight was free of charge. The course was brilliant. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song. It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words, but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast. It was the hardest thing I have ever done—but also the most rewarding.

A. do not have to work with deaf people

B. can work in many types of different places

C. may not always find a job in their chosen field

D. almost always start their career in a law company

【3】【3】The part of the course the writer enjoyed the most was when   .

A. she should sing a song with a fast beat

B. she should sign a song for the last lesson

C. her teacher sang a very sad song to the class

D. she realized that her parents didn’t have to pay

【4】【4】Which of the following best describes the writer?

28、Run for Class President

Two months ago, when our class election（选举）started. I decided to run for class president. I enjoyed speaking in pubic and got along well with people, so I felt it easy to win. But I was a【1】 that people would feel sad for me if I lost.

I was busy preparing in the following week. My plan wasn’t to make promise to do things I couldn’t m【2】 but to show my class why I wanted to be president. I put up my posters in hallways and in the classroom. I also spent three hours writing my speech, saying that I was the one they could turn to whenever they had a problem. Since I was c【3】 prepared. I felt that my chances of winning were strong.

However, when I gave my speech on Election Day, the response wasn’t what I had e【4】. Few people actually listened. When it was my opponent’s （对手的）turn, everyone was scteaming his name. His speech was short, but all to the point. By then, I realized I should have made mine shorter and c【5】.

It was obvious who would win. For the rest of the day. I felt like it was over. I wanted to just go home and cry, but I made it through.

My prediction was right:I didn’t win.

The next day, people were still talking about the election. I just pretended not to hear. But later, things got better. People f【6】 about the election and talked to me just as they did before.

I don’t regret putting time and energy into the election because I’ve learned that things aren’t always going the way I look forward to. And moments of failure like this build c【7】 since then I’ve learned to face disappointment and grown stronger.
