Nobody’s Watching Me
I am a foot taller than Napoleon and twice the weight of Twiggy; on my only visit to a beautician, the woman said she found my face a challenge. Yet despite these social disadvantages I feel cheerful, happy, confident and secure.
I work for a daily newspaper and so get to a lot of places I would otherwise never see. This year I went to Ascot to write about the people there. I saw something there that made me realize the stupidity of trying to conform, of trying to be better than anyone else. There was a small, plump woman, all dressed up—huge hat, dress with pink butterflies, long white gloves. She also had a shooting stick. But because she was so plump, when she sat on the stick it went deep into the ground and she couldn’t pull it out. She tugged and tugged, tears of rage in her eyes. When the final tug brought it out, she crashed with it to the ground."
I saw her walk away. Her day had been ruined. She had made a fool of herself in public--she had impressed nobody. In her own sad, red eyes she was a failure.
I remember well when I was like that, in the days before I learned that nobody really cared what you do . . .
I remember the pain of my first dance, something that is always meant to be a wonderful occasion for a girl... There was a fashion then for diamante (人造钻石) ear-rings, and I wore them so often practicing for the big night that I got two great sores on my ears and had to put sticking-plaster on them. Perhaps it was this that made nobody want to dance with me. Whatever it was, there I sat for four hours and 43 minutes. When I came home, I told my parents that I had a marvelous time and that my feet were sore from dancing. They were pleased at my success and they went to bed happily, but I went to my room and tore the bits of sticking-plaster off my ears and felt forlorn and disconsolate.
‘The beautician found the writer’s face a challenge’, which means _________.
选项
A、she thought it was a challenge to have such a face repaired
B、she thought it was a challenge to deal with such a face
C、the writer’s face challenged the beautician’s
D、it was a challenge to find the writer’s face
答案
B
解析
从文中不难分析出,作者是个丑女人。脸丑,对于美容师来说,如何进行美化是一种挑战。 C、D两项可先排除。A项由于使用了repair一词,过分了,不能选。因此B项才是正确的。

中国认为,人权的实现离不开世界的和平与发展。和平与发展是当今世界的两大主题,也是实现普遍人权和基本自由必不可少的前提。没有和平稳定的国际环境,没有公正、合理的国际经济秩序,就不可能实现普遍的人权。国际社会只有将促进人权同维护世界和平、促进人类发展联系起来,
