19、ot. Sincehe wasnt ready to adopt a child of his own, hedecided to contribute financially.

26、you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of app

27、reciation or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光環(huán)) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too. Even in the courts, a pleasing appeara

28、nce can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “Its an effect seen everywhere, says Walker.But if beauty pays in mos

29、t circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏見(jiàn)) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power.

30、 might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical c

31、are. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.Ultimately, scientists point out that focusing too much on y

32、our appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions, she says. Its an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. A

33、s the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.28.From paragraph 1, we can learn that _.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bother

Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C. Good-looking people are often

37、could helpclean up rivers, prevent flooding andminimise soil loss, an expert has claimed.Professor Richard Brazier, a researcher at theUniversity of Exeter, said unpublished resultsfrom a trial area in Devon showed muddy water entering an area where beavers were living wasthree times cleaner when it

38、 left.“Our trial has shown that the beavers are able to dam our streams in a way that keeps soil in the headwaters of our catchment (流域) so it doesnt block up rivers downstream and pollute ourdrinking and bathing waters. If we bring beaversback its just one tool we need to solve Britainscrisis of so

39、il loss and agricultural pollution ofwaterways, but its a useful tool, he said.Prof Braziers claims were disputed bytheNational Farmers Union (NFU), which warnedthat the reintroduction of beavers to Scotland hadled to fields and forests becoming damaged. Spokesman Mark Pope said: “The knowledge ofth

40、e impacts beavers have had on farmland,riverbanks andflood defences in Scotland isconcerning.

42、n. She agreed that in some places in the UK there was evidence of worrying soil loss, and said new policies were urgently needed. Beavers may in fact reduce the river channel and remove vegetation, exposing banks to greater erosion(侵蝕) and increasing, rather than decreasing, therisk of flooding, she
