21、Society has certain standards for beauty. But Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc, who spent nearly four years shooting portraits of women from around the world, is challenging these standards.
She believes that beauty can take on many forms. “Beauty just means being yourself,” Noroc told NPR. “I don’t think we have to change ourselves to be in a certain way; I think, we just have to keep ourselves as we are and don’t necessarily need to change.”
Inspired by a trip to Africa in 2013, Noroc has traveled to more than 50 countries and regions since then. In 2017, she compiled a book called The Atlas of Beauty:Women of the World in 500 Portraits to show how many different kinds of beauty there are in the world. A new edition of her book has recently caused heated discussion on social media.
From a struggling Russian dancer to a talkative cafe owner in New York, Noroc’s subjects engaged her in deep conversation. Noroc found out what moves them, what their daily struggles and joys are, and what brings beauty into their own lives. “No matter where I go, it’s the women that carry all the culture and traditions of a place. I really try to focus on women’s stories, how they face challenges and overcome them,” Noroc told CNN.
Her encounter with Ala, a student at a self-defense school in Jordan called “She Fighter,” left a lasting impression on her. Ala raises her clenched fists (握紧的拳头) as she looks into the camera while her face is covered by a whitehiab (穆斯林妇女戴的面纱). Noroc describes She Fighter as “the first self-defense school for women in the Arab world,” and writes, “I discovered an amazing initiative and a splendid sisterhood.”
In Iran, Noroc met Norocmet Farnoush, a woman who lives in two worlds. “In one she is an economist, by profession. In the other, she is an artist, because this is her passion.” For Noroc, the women’s beauty lies in how natural and comfortable they appear while just being themselves.
【1】What does Noroc think of beauty?
A.Beauty standards are to be obeyed.
B.Beauty means accepting who you are.
C.Beauty is valuing life and loving others.
D.Beauty requires people to change bravely.
【2】Why was Noroc impressed by She Fighter?
A.It encouraged women to join in the fight.
B.It’s the first female school in the Arab world.
C.It showed strong unity and initiative.
D.Its members were very good at fighting.
【3】The author wrote the article mainly to ______.
A.recommend the book The Atlas of Beauty
B.introduce some women with true beauty
C.share Noroc’s traveling experiences around the world
D.show how Noroc challenged traditional standards of beauty
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for this article?
A.More Beauty, More Happiness.
B.Beauty Shines Through When You’re Yourself.
C.Beauty is in the Eye of the Behdder.
D.Beauty Knows No Universal Standards.
22、In April 2014,the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean!The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.
A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel,Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.
The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps,dated May 17,1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible(字迹模糊的),the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.
From the address,researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard
Platz,who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group,he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough,they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter,Angela Erdmann,who still lives in Berlin.
“It was almost unbelievable,”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message.“That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face." Erdmann never knew her grandfather,who died in 1946,but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.
The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1 .After that,the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.

discovered in April 2012,according to Guinness World Records.

23、The insanely popular song ‘Gangnam Style’ from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever, garnering more than 808 million views on the popular media site.
The distinction was previously held by another pop heavyweight, Justin Bieber, whose song ‘Baby’ had a little more than 804 million views at press time. PSY made the announcement on his Twitter page earlier today.
Since its release, the song has defeated such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On the Floor,’ Eminem's ‘Love the Way You Lie’ and LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem.’ And in September, 'Gangnam Style' also became the most liked video on YouTube, now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up.
At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: “In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY, your certificate is waiting here at our office, come pick it up any time!”
Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.
If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, ‘Gangnam Style’ would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.
The YouTube honors are just the latest in a long list that shows just how popular the song has become. Since it was released in July, the song has seen a meteoric rise through the music industry.
It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody(恶搞)videos.
It became a staple (主要部份) in the 2012 presidential elections with the now famous ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader.
Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.

24、“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except fathers.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. Am I wrong? I whispered, maybe With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----its second to none.
