What do you think being beauty really means? All answers to that question are correct, because there are no right or wrong replies. Despite(不管) what society tries to make us believe, there is no “ideal” beauty. There are exact standards—hair colour, or eye colour—that make someone beautiful. Think about it: did you consider someone to be really beautiful, but your friend didn’t see it? That’s because what’s attractive to one person isn’t necessarily going to be attractive to another. So how can we believe that there’s a standard for beauty? It makes no sense.

Weight-loss companies and clothing industries seem to have made it their goal to get us believe that we are not enough and that we need all kinds of things to be prettier. It’s not true! Companies sell us this ideas for their products to make money. I’m not saying that buying beauty products is bad, but what would be bad is using them because you feel like you have to look a certain way in order to be “beautiful”.

Remember, the people wear tons of make-up and are photoshopped in order to look perfect. When you see a girl who society considers as a “great body”, you have to remember that people have different body types and everyone’s body is different. We’re all beautiful, whether we’re slim, thickset or anywhere in between. If you want to lose weight, go ahead, but do it in a healthy way and do it for the right reason—not because you want to fit in. Being comfortable with yourself is really important, and being with others who accept you as you are and don’t ask you to change to look a specific(特定的) way is important too.

九年级英语单选题困难题查看答案及解析

Idioms(成语) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.

For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say “I'll play it by ear”, that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later. “Play by ear” used to mean playing music using the sheet music(活页乐谱), but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.

There're many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you don't necessarily reach out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two certainly work together very well.

Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?

1.An idiom is _______.

A. a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say

B. a phrase or a sentence that doesn't mean exactly what every word says

C. so difficult that nobody can understand

D. something to do with parts of your body

2.If a mother says “I’ll play it by ear” to talk about the dinner, she means _______.

A. she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time

B. she doesn't hear what others are talking about.

C. she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinner

D. She doesn't have plans for dinner and will decide later

3.When one says “Can you give me a hand?”, he means _______.

A. he needs to hold your hand.

B. he works well with you

C. he needs your help

D. he is a new comer and can't help with the situation

4.What does the word “vivid” mean?

A. 生动的　　　　 B. 恰当的　　　　 C. 独特的　　　　 D. 有意义的

5.Here are four common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings.

Can you match them?

1) to learn something by heart　　　　　　 a. to depend on oneself

2) to have sticky fingers　　　　　　　　　　 b. to know something very well

3) to stand on one's own feet　　　　　　　 c. to do something secretly

4) to go behind someone's back　　　　　　 d. to have the habit of stealing

A. 1-b; 2-a; 3-d; 4-c　　 B. 1-b; 2-d; 3-a; 4-c

C. 1-c; 2-b; 3-a; 4-d　　 D.1-c; 2-d; 3-b; 4-a

Being happy is an ability, which means we need to learn how to do it. This, perhaps, explains why around one in four undergraduate students at Yale University in the US have signed up (报名) for its Psychology and the Good Life course this semester. The course actually set a record of being the most popular in Yale’s 316-year history.

Laurie Santos, the psychology professor who will be running the course, believes that the high school lives which her students must have had are the reason that the course is so popular. It’s likely that students who get into top universities like Yale had a difficult time in high school. In order to stand out, they had to surround themselves with endless tests, competitions, and so-called “hobbies”, which made them very unhappy. "A lot of us are anxious (焦虑的), stressed, numb (麻木的)," Alannah Maynez, a 19-year-old undergraduate student at Yale, told The New York Times,“and I won’t miss such a chance.”

Yale isn’t the first university to offer such courses. Back in 2006, Harvard introduced its Positive Psychology class, and about 900 students signed up for it. There are now many universities in the US that have started courses on positive psychology, including the University of Pennsylvania and Claremont Graduate University.

It may sound sad when Harvard student Nancy Cheng called Positive Psychology a “self-help class”. But it’s a good thing that students accept that they have a problem, instead of having to pretend that everything is fine in front of everyone.

It’s true that being happy is an ability, and it’s OK that you may not have it yet. However, it’s never too early—or too late—to start learning.

1.Many students at Yale University have signed for the Psychology and the Good Life course because ______ __.

A.students who get into top universities had a difficult time in high school

B.it is the most popular course in Yale’s 316-year history

C.Laurie Santos, the psychology professor will be running the course

2.What does Alannah Maynez think of the psychology course?

A.Popular. B.Meaningless. C.Useful.

3.How many universities that have positive psychology courses are mentioned in the passage?

A.Four B.One. C.Two.

4.What does the underlined word “pretend” mean?

A.掩盖 B.假装 C.承认

5.From the passage, we can know that________.

A.it’s never too early or too late to start learning how to be happy

B.Yale is the first university to offer psychology courses

C.Nancy Cheng thought the course helped her a lot to be happy

In our lives, we sometimes say or do something that may hurt others. Then we need to apologize(道歉). Making an apology helps to improve an injured friendship.

We are already familiar with some expressions for apologizing, such as “Excuse me” or “I'm sorry”. There are also other ways to apologize, such as “Pardon” and “I apologize”. When you have missed your friend's party, you might say, “I was really busy that day and just couldn't make it. I sincerely(真诚地) apologize.” When you get angry with someone and realize you are wrong, you may say, “I am sorry. I apologize for my poor attitude.”

When a person apologizes to you, it is necessary to reply politely, “It's all right，” or “Never mind.” If the situation is more serious and the person is really sincere, you might say, “I understand how you feel，” or “We all make mistakes.”

Sometimes people apologize not for having done something wrong, but for the inconvenience(不便)they have caused. On the building under repair you may see signs reading, “We are rebuilding our store to serve you better. Please pardon our dust.” In the supermarket you may hear a salesperson say, “I'm sorry it has been sold out today. Would you please come tomorrow？”

People sometimes are embarrassed to make an apology, because they do not want to lose face. Yet there are ways to make an “indirect apology”. Making an apology on the phone s or　 direct very personal way of apologizing, but it is sometimes the best choice. If one is not so familiar with the other and they might feel there is a chance of unpleasantness, some “distance” is often safer and understandable.

Learning how to apologize is important in our life. We don't lose face when we apologize. Instead, we'd lose face if we never say sorry for our mistakes.

"Listen carefully to what I say,"　 the time traveler said, "I shall tell you something that you will not agree."

"Why will we not agree?" I asked.

"Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,"　 he said. "You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间)-length, breadth(宽) and thickness."

"There is nothing to argue with that, "　 the youngest member of our little group said.

"Exactly!"　 the time traveler answered, "But there is also a fourth dimension - time."

"We all know about time, " another member of the group said. "Time passed."

"I do not agree,"　 the time traveler said, "Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space.　 We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in breadth, length and thickness."

None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.

"If we could travel back in time,"　 the scientist said, "We could do things to change the future."

"If we could travel forward in time," the doctor(博士) said, "we could do things that change our present."

The time traveler smiled, "It is clear," he said, "that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here."

He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.

"This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it," the time traveler said. "I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately travel in time and disappear from the present."

He turned to the youngest of all. "Give me your hand," he said.

The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.

I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.

"Are you asking us to believe," he said, "that the machine is now in a different time?"

"Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?"

"Are you serious about this?" the doctor asked.

"I have never been more serious about anything," the time traveler said, "Come."
