21、Twelve prized camels have been disqualified from a beauty contest in Saudi Arabia after their owners tried to beautify their looks with Botox(肉毒杆菌素).

Thousands of camels are paraded at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival to be judged on their shapely lips and humps. The festival, which also features camel racing and camel milk tasting, has combined prize money of $57 million.

This year’s event has been stuck in scandal after the 20 million Saudi riyals (里亚尔，货币单位) in prize money for each category tempted some owners to cheat.

The key features in camel beauty are considered to be delicate ears and a big nose. Judges are also looking for perfectly placed humps, muscular physiques and leathery mouths. But there are strict rules against the use of drugs in the lips, or shaved or clipped body parts.

Ali Al Mazrouei, the son of a top Emirati breeder, said Botox was used for the lips, the nose and even the jaw. “It makes the head more inflated, so when the camel comes, it’s like ‘Oh look at how big that head is. It has big lips, a big nose’,” he said.

In the lead up to the festival, Saudi media reported that a vet had been caught giving camels plastic surgery including Botox injections and reducing the size of their ears.

Chief judge Fawzan Al-Madi said the camel was “a symbol of Saudi Arabia”. “We used to preserve it out of necessity; now we preserve it as a pastime,” he said. The camel beauty contest was first held in 2000 and last year was relocated from a remote desert area to a permanent venue north of the capital, Riyadh.

【1】Why did some people cheat in the camel beauty contest?

A．They wanted to get the big prize.

B．They intended to show off their camels.

C．They were proud of their camels’ humps.

D．They expected their camels to win in racing.

【2】What is focused in the fourth paragraph?

A．The goal of the contest.

B．The rules for the judges.

C．The standards of judgement.

D．The kinds of different camels.

【3】Which of the following isn’t considered a feature of camel beauty?

A．Big lips.

B．Big ears.

C．Big heads.

D．Big noses.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Arabians find it tiring to raise camels.

B．People in Saudi Arabia depend on camels to live.

C．Saudi government takes the camel festival seriously.

D．Camels were raised for fun in the past in Saudi Arabia.

22、   You probably think of aggression in its most violent form i.e. shouting matches and fights. Actually, there are varying levels of aggression. There are times when you start to display aggression, but you are not aware of it yourself.【1】

●They believe their opinion is fact

For effective communication to take place it is important to be able to distinguish between opinion and fact.【2】But aggressive people take it one step further. They act as if their opinion is fact, which is telling others that their opinions are irrelevant(不相关的).

●It's all about how it affects them

When something goes wrong, or when considering potential consequences, aggressive people only consider how it influences them. The impact on others is irrelevant to them. 【3】I once knew a girl who, every time she had a quarrel with her boyfriend, used to wake her entire family up so she could tell them how she had been unjustly treated.

●Rapid speech

【4】They are determined to get their point across and have no desire to let the other person offer their input. They want total control of the conversation and are determined that the other person will hear what they have to say.

●Aggressive talking; defensive listening

This refers to the body language that they adopt when they are being aggressive.【5】They may point, spread feet apart with hands on the waist, etc. However, when the other person is speaking they will adopt a more defensive gesture e.g. crossing their arms.

Being familiar with these signs will help you to recognize the aggression quickly, and you will then be able to manage the situation more appropriately.

A．When talking they will likely lean forward.

B．The following are some common signs of aggression.

C．Aggressive people speak fast with little or no pauses.

D．These people are not giving you the opportunity to decline.

E．Offering a suggestion or thoughts on something that has happened is fine.

F．Aggressive people rarely attempt to find workable solutions to problems in life.

G．If something has negative consequences for them, everybody else is expected to suffer the consequences too.

23、Happiness——you know it when you see it. 【1】. You might call it a sense of well-being, of optimism or of meaningfulness in life, although those could also be treated as separate entities(实体). But whatever happiness is, we want it.

【2】

There is substantial evidence that genetics play a big role in happiness. Research has shown that identical twins tend to have a similar level of happiness, more so than fraternal(异卵) twins. What's more, there seems to be a certain level of happiness that individuals have generally, to which they are usually attracted. 【3】.

Experiences make us happier than possessions

【4】? Several studies suggest it is experiences rather than possessions that make us happier. That's partly because once you have purchased something, such as a new car, you get used to seeing it every day and the initial joy fades, experts say. However, you can continue to get happiness from memories of experiences over time.

Happiness means living in the moment

If you're seeking to increase your own sense of happiness, try mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness means being present and in the moment, and observing in a nonjudgmental way. 【5】 For physical health, it's not so much happiness that counts, but this ability to regulate and have a sense of purpose and meaning.

A．However, it's hard to define

B．Happiness is a matter of attitude

C．Happiness comes from genes and environment

D．What is the relationship between happiness and money

E．Would you be happier if you bought the car you always wanted

F．That level depends on the person, and the situations he or she is in

G．Being able to manage emotion is important for both body and mind
