Who are the most beautiful women in the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin America, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term “Miss” as in “Miss Universe” is an honored title.
These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on women’s looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride. And in Venezuela, they are almost a national obsession(狂熱).
Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,” says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. “It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.” Preparing for a contest is a full-time job that includes sixteen-hour days for six months. Many of the women take a leave of absence from their jobs during the training period. “If you don’t take this seriously, you don’t have a chance.” Selena says.
The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?” They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply makeup. Most of them grow their hair long and diet to lose at least 10 pounds. Many of them have their teeth straightened or have plastic surgery (整形外科手術(shù)) to straighten or fix other body parts.
It isn’t easy, and the contestants give up a lot for the contest. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost is high as well. The training for the Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe contests can cost up to $ 60,000. Fortunately the television station that sponsors (贊助) the contest pays the costs of training the finalists. Yet most of the contestants say it’s worth the effort. A former Miss Universe is now a mayor of a district in a large city. Although she had no political experience before that, she has been asked to run for higher political office.
Another winner has her own television show. Winners have an advantage they could not get anywhere else. “It’s the only chance you have to make it.” Says one contestant. “You can’t get these opportunities any other way.”
61. From the above passage we can infer that Venezuela is probably____.
A. a place where contestants from all parts of the world gather together
B. a city in America where beauty contest is held
C. a country in Latin America
D. a world beauty center
62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Contestants have to stay away from their work for a period of time before the contest.
B. Only a few women won the contest without being trained.
C. Beauty isn’t the only factor for a contestant to win the contest.
D. It’s too expensive for individuals (個人) to pay for the training for the contest.
63. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Beauty Means Money
B. Venezuelan Women — the Most Beautiful Women in the World
C. How to Succeed in the Beauty Contest
D. Training — the Only Way to Success

C
Any introduction to Peking Opera would not be complete without telling of Mei Lanfang. Traditionally only men performed in Peking Opera, including the female roles. And Mei Lanfang was the very best master of the miss. During his stage life, he combined the traditions of the past with his own creations, shaping a style of his own and giving birth to “The Mei Lanfang School”. He was also the first artist to introduce Peking Opera to an overseas audience, making it popular to the world. For half a century, Mei Lanfang was a household name in China.
Mei Lanfang began his stage life at the age of 8. His teacher said he showed little hope because of his boring eyes. To improve this, he exercised them day after day. He would fly kites and look at them moving slowly in a blue sky. He also kept pigeons in order to look at them soaring higher and higher until they disappeared into the clouds. Thanks to his efforts, he managed to transform his dull eyes into a pair of bright and expressive eyes and win national fame before the age of 20.
In over 50 years on the stage, Mei Lanfang played no less than 100 different characters in the traditional Peking Opera performance. He completely changed both stage make-up and costumes, and enriched characters' gestures, expressions and poses. He also wrote many new plays, designing the dances himself. The many dances he created form part of the great legacy that he left to Peking Opera.
In 1930, Mei Lanfang started on a successful US tour. There his brilliant performances fascinated the audience, making them realize that Peking Opera was a theatrical form of great literary and artistic value.

As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But Venezuela, whose beauty queens have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times, doesn’t leave it to chance. In Venezuela, girls as young as four can be found attending beauty schools, where they can learn a range of skills from how to walk to the correct way to hold a wine glass.
“Hair must always be completely clean, make-up should look natural, and you should always, always wear high-heels,” advises Andrea Reyes, a teacher in a school of Caracas with 160 students.
Beauty contests are treated in Venezuela much as sporting competitions are elsewhere. Many Venezuelan parents believe that if their daughters can succeed and get the beauty crown, their future as famous and public persons is sure to come. As a result, the girls are trained to compete at a young age.
Among former beauty queens are Irene Saez, who went on to compete for the country’s president, and Eva Ekvall, whose battle with cancer helped to make more people know about the illness in Venezuela.
However, voices against the trend can be heard all over the country. At one time, a feminist (男女平等主義者) group tried to stop the Miss Venezuela broadcast. President Hugo Chavez has spoken out against the culture of plastic surgery(整形手術(shù))in Venezuela, calling it a “frightening thing”.
The BBC reporter Sarah Grainger says that acceptance of the contests is partly a result of the country’s “machista” (大男子主義的) view of the different roles that men and women should play, “Men are supposed to be strong and brave and women to be gentle and beautiful”.
Miss Universe 1996, Alicia Machado, knows the price to be paid when you’re no longer seen as attractive. After winning the beauty contest, she said all she wanted to do was “eat, eat and eat”. Her weight gain later and warning by the organizers of the contest to replace her as queen with the runner-up was among the hottest topics in the country, especially in Latin America.
1.What’s the advice given by a teacher in Caracas to her students?
A. Attending beauty schools as early as possible.
B. Wearing high-heels at times.
C. Washing your hair quite often.
D. Fighting against cancer bravely.
2.Girls try to win in the beauty contest to__________.
A. try plastic surgery
B. practice the country’s “machista” view
C. earn a good future
D. eat as much as one pleases
3.We can learn from the passage that__________.
A. Venezuela girls have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times by chance
B. In Venezuela, people judge men and women in quite different ways
C. Eva Ekvall once competed for the country’s president
D. Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has spoken out against beauty contests
4.What does the underlined word “runner-up” in the last paragraph mean?
A. the news reporter covering the beauty contest
B. the organizer of the beauty contest
C. the girl who is slim
D. the person who comes in the second place
