1.All research to date on body image shows that women are much more critical of their appearance than men and much less likely to admire what they see in the mirror. Up to 8 out of 10 women are dissatisfied with their reflection,and more than half may see a distorted image.
2.Men looking in the mirror are more likely to be either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women一if anything,they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness.Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.
3.Why are women too much more self-critical than men?Because women are judged on their appearance more than men,and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more inflexible.Women are continually bombarded with images of the inflexible.Women are continually bombarded with images of the"ideal"face.And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV,magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly.It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence.
4.Also,most women are trying to achieve the impossible:standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century.In 1917,the physically perfect woman was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 10 stone(约140磅).Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average woman,now they weigh 23% less.The current media ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population一and that's just in terms of weight and size.If you want the ideal shape,face,etc, it's probably more like 1%.
Paragraph 4_________
A:How do men view their appearance?
B:How can women make themselves more beautiful?
C:Why do men and women view their appearance differently?
D:Is it possible for women to meet the standards of perfect beauty?
E:How do people judge women and men?

    Parkinson's Disease
    1 Parkinson's disease affects the way you move.It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve
    cells in the brain. Normally , these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopa-
    mine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement.It lets your muscles move smoothly and
    do what you want them to do.When you have Parkinson's,these nerve cells break down.Then you no longer
    have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.
    2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.But scientists are doing a lot of re-
    search to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes,including aging and poisons in the en-
    vironment.Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people.But so far,there is not enough
    proof to show that it is always inherited.
    3 Tremor(颤抖)may be the first symptom you notice.It is one of the most common signs of the
    disease,although not everyone has it.Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the
    body.It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you
    move the limb or when you are asleep.In time,Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body,so it can
    lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation(便秘).In the later stages of the disease , a person
    with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression,trouble speaking,and other problems.Some people
    also have a decrease in mental skills.
    4 At this time,there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.But there are several types of medicines that
    can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.You may not even need treatment if your
    symptoms are mild.Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of
    your daily life.Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse.You may need to take
    several medicines to get the best results.

    More About Alzheimer' s Disease
    Scientists have developed skin tests that may be used in the future to identify people with Alzheimer's
    disease and may ultimately allow physicians to predict who is at risk of getting this neurological
    (神经病学的)disorder.
    The only current means of diagnosing the disease in a living patient is a long and expensive series of
    tests that eliminate every other cause of dementia.
    "Since Alois Alzheimer described the disease nearly a century ago,people have been trying to find a
    way to accurately diagnose it in its early stages,"said Patricia Grady,acting director of the National Institute
    of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda,Maryland."This discovery,if confirmed,could prove a big
    step forward in our efforts to deal with and understand the disease."
    Alzheimer's is the single greatest cause of mental deterioration in older people,affecting between 2.5
    million and 4 million people in the United States alone.The devastating disorder gradually destroys memory and
    the ability to function,and eventually causes death. There is currently no known treatment for the disease.
    Researchers discovered that the skin cells of Alzheimer's patients have defects that interfere with their
    ability to regulate the flow of potassium in and out of the cells.The fact that the cell defects are present in the
    skin suggests that Alzheimer's results from physiological changes throughout the body,and that dementia may
    be the first noticeable effect of these changes as the defects affect the cells in the brain,scientists said.
    The flow of potassium is especially critical in cells responsible for memory formation.The scientists also
    found two other defects that affect the cells' supply of calcium,another critical element.
    One test developed by researches calls for growing skin cells in a laboratory culture and then testing
    them with an electrical detector to determine if the microscopic tunnels that govern the flow of potassium are
    open.Open potassium channels create a unique electrical signature.
    A spokesman for the Alzheimer's Association said that if the validity of the diagnostic test can be
    proven it would be an important development,but he cautioned that other promising tests for Alzheimer's
    have been disappointing.
    The newly developed skin tests may be used in the future to allow doctors to________.
    A:cure those with Alzheimer's disease
    B:discover the cause of Alzheimer's disease
    C:predict who might get Alzheimer's disease
    D:find the consequences of Alzheimer's disease

    Energy Cycle
    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.
    According to the passage,many family quarrels are resulted from awareness of different energy cycles.
