Then Id get asked the quest
22、ion: Are 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.

23、ody judges you by your color and not by your true self,” Millie says.

24、s. “When people 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.

29、tic surgery clinic in McLean, Va., was 47 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
30、 to do, and these are the consultations I 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
31、 are too large, or their eyebrows appear dull. 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
32、 greatly attacking the confidence of many younger 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.

33、y. Once, a 20-year-old, having studied countless 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 ph
34、otos taken at arms length or closer often produce 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 t

D Dyslexia (失读症) is a reading and writing disability characterized by difficulties 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 Un
41、ited States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or 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 Har
42、rar of Britains University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings 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. “S

She found
44、that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a 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
45、from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the 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 y
46、ou get that kind of thing. So the video game is really training the attention system 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 r
47、ead. When 英语试卷 第 7 页 共 10 页 children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time.
