    Betty is not a traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of America’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it?
    The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York.
    The TV show has just started. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan.
    Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA. “I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it’s about the underdog (弱者) ”, says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show.
    The program is so popular because of the performance of the 23-year-old actress America Ferrera who plays the role of Betty. She brings the character alive on the screen.
    小题1:Betty is popular because of                   .
    A．her clothesB．her charmC．her personalityD．her appearance

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:C
    小题4:B
    小题5:A
    贝蒂不是传统的美国人，但这就没有阻止她成为美国最受欢迎的电视角色之一，其原因是：魅力比美貌更具吸引力。通过自身的努力工作，凭借自己的魅力和智慧，贝蒂最终从丑小鸭蜕变为美丽的小天鹅。该节目吸引了一大批观众，获得了两个金球奖项。该节目如此大受欢迎，也与23岁美国女演员费雷拉的出色表演分不开。
    小题1:细节理解题。根据第二节的第一句可知：The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty.。
    小题2:词义猜测题。句中的it带指the show。
    小题3:细节理解题。根据短文的最后一节可知。
    小题4:细节理解题。“在该节目中，Betty扮演的是美丽的小天鹅”，该句是错误的。
    小题5:主旨大意题。本题的最佳标题是A，表示“内在美”。

    Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. After I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things.

    Last month the manager（经理） of a jewelry shop ( 珠宝店) received a letter. As he was very busy then, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. He opened it and a 10-pound note(票 ) fell out onto the desk. Within the note was a letter which said:
    Dear sir:
    In 1935 I got engaged(订婚 ). But unfortunately I lost my job. At the time a lot of people were out of work. Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring(婚戒 ). The assistant took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I didn’t know the size of my girl’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring. My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for the ring has been heavy in my heart all these years. At that time, the ring cost 2 pounds so I think it is 10 pounds at today’s price and I’m sending 10 pounds.
    Yours truly,
    A customer (顾客 )

    To err is human. To blame（责备） the other guy is even more human.
    Common sense is not all that common.
    Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
    These three popular misquotes（戏谑的引语）are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine（神圣的）.” This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite – find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity（成熟）.
    Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”
    And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary（直接推论）to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
    A．A secretary works to a timetable.
    B．A company’s next move follows a good plan.
    C．A girl goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.
    D．A man tries to manage everything in a large company.
    小题2:What can we infer from the last paragraph according to the writer?
    A．A good excuse is the same as honesty.
    B．Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
    C．Unpleasant truth is better than a good excuse.
    D．Making a good excuse is sometimes a better idea.
    小题3:What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．A Mirror of Human Nature
    B．To Blame or to Forgive
    C．A Mark of Maturity
    D．Truth or Excuse
