18、rst we only knew that we wanted together.” They settled down in Birmingham, England, eager to start a family. On July 3, 2006, the black and white couple got their “one in a million” miracle: Amanda gave birth to fraternal twin (异卵双胞胎) girls with completely different skin colors, and the greatly ama
19、zed parents gave their daughters intertwined names: one would be Millie Marcia Madge Biggs, the other Marcia Millie Madge Biggs.From a young age the girls had similar features but very different color schemes. Marcia had light brown hair and fair skin like her English-born white mother, while Millie
20、 had black hair and brown skin like her black father, who is of Jamaican descent. “We never worried about it; we just accepted it,” Michael says.“When they were first born,” Amanda recalls, “people would look at my one daughter and then look at my other daughter. Then Id get asked the question: Are
21、they twins? ”“Yes.”“But ones white and ones black.”According to Amanda, people who commented on the girls werent openly discriminatory (歧视的) or judgmentaljust very curious, and then as time went on, people just saw the beauty in them.The twins know what racism is. “Racism is where somebody judges yo
22、u by your color and not by your true self,” Millie says. Michael, the father, says hes faced inequality at times throughout his life because of the color of his skin. “But its a different time now,” he says. Neither he nor Amanda has ever witnessed racist behavior toward their twin girls.“When peopl
23、e see us, they think that were just best friends,” Marcia says. “When they learn that were twins, theyre kind of shocked because ones black and ones white.” But when the twins are asked about their differences, they mention something else entirely. “Millie likes things that are girlie. She likes pin
24、k and all of that,” Marcia says. “I dont like the color pink; Im a tomboy. People should know about us by our true selves, not by our colors. After all, people are made how they are.”24.

28、 or 48. They generally wanted to look like a younger version of themselves. This might mean a face or neck lift, eyelid lifts, a skin-resurfacing procedure or Botox (肉毒杆菌) injections. “What do you recommend?” theyd ask. This is the kind of work I am expecting to do, and these are the consultations I
29、 am expecting to give.Today, my average patient, according to my office records, is 38 or 39. Theyll come in with a specific “flaw” on their faces and often know exactly what procedure they want. They are pretty sure that their noses are too big, their chins are too large, or their eyebrows appear d
30、ull. And these patients are much less realistic about what I can achieve. They will ask for Kim Kardashians nose, even if their facial structure looks nothing like hers.Theres a reason for this rapid and radical change: selfies. The self-taken photograph is greatly attacking the confidence of many y
31、ounger people. They come to my offices, show me their selfies and point to a defect on their faces, which is a totally normal shape to me. Often they will have already searched online till theyve found someone with a similar “issue” who fixed it with surgery. Once, a 20-year-old, having studied coun
32、tless images of herself and searched hundreds of pictures of the ideal looks she wanted, said she needed a facelift. But to me, no 20-year-old needs a facelift.Selfies also mislead people about how they look. Smartphone cameras get better each year, but photos taken at arms length or closer often pr
33、oduce a “fish eye” effect: whatevers at the center of the photo is bigger, and things on the edge are smaller. A study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery last year found that selfies make noses look 30 percent larger than they are.A survey done by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons last
34、year found that social media was driving more plastic surgery requests than any other social influence: more than TV, movies or magazines. People are spending more time looking at themselves, in an online environment where comparisons with others seem inevitable. Academic psychologist Brian Feinstei
35、n, who studied a sample of 268 college-age adults, has found that the more people use social media, the more they reflect on their own supposed drawbacks, and therefore causes self-confidence to drop.28. Why did the authors typical patients want plastic surgery ten years ago? A. They were recommende
36、d to do so. B. They were unsatisfied with the faces they were born with. C. Theyd like to look younger than they really were. D. The author expected them to do so.29.

Smartphone cameras make people look at their selfies through a fish eye. C. People usually take photos at arms length or closer. D. Smartp
38、hone cameras make peoples faces in a selfie unreal.31. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Selfies Are Weakening Self-confidence.B. Young People Like to Take Selfies. C. More People Are Getting Plastic Surgery. D. People Like to Look Better in Selfies.DDyslexia (失读症) is
39、 a readingandwriting disability characterized bydifficulties in reading and spelling, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or
40、read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting (重新传入) their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. Vanessa Harrar of Britains University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings
41、 in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a sluggish shifting of attention across the senses.“So, if you are trying to read something and then trying to listen to somebody w
42、hos reading aloud and youre trying to follow along with what they are reading, they have to switch their attention from hearing what they are saying to looking at the piece of paper and back again.” said Harrar.She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a
43、picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force t
44、he eyes to move and focus quickly.“Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So the video game is really training the attention sys
45、tem to move quickly,” said Harrar.The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then
46、hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.32. Dyslexic people have the following problems except _.A. writing or reading words and letters in the right or
47、derB. redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing somethingC. moving quickly from what they read to what they hearD. seeing a picture or hearing a sound33. What does the underlined word “sluggish” in paragraph 2 mean？A. Slow.B. Wrong.C. Specific.D. Accurate.34. Why can playing video games help dyslexic people learn more quickly?A. Because they will train their reading and hearing.B. Because they will have a good knowledge of the system.C. Because they can train the attention system to move quickly
