How to be a traveling beauty this May holiday
May Day holiday is a time for traveling. Go to the seaside, enjoy beautiful sunshine and soft breezes and let your mind and body both relax; hide away in a small town, amble on winding
pebble tracks and melt into the romantic ambiance; or take up your backpack, go mountaineering, stretch your body and smell the fresh air...They all sound wonderful. But changing environments can pose threats to delicate skin. How can you protect yourself and stay beautiful through seven days of traveling? Here are some helpful suggestions.
If you're going to the seaside:
Typical resort: Sanya
Typical weather: 24-31℃ with strong ultraviolet sunrays and fresh air.
Warm sunshine, fresh sea breezes, and moist air make the seaside an agreeable haven from Beijing's dust. But
excessive sun
exposure can easily
darken your skin, and of course most Chinese girls prefer fair skin. To prepare for a
pleasing and beautiful
sojourn (逗留) at the seaside take note of following:
1. Night time skin care
Even if you've managed to block the sun in the
daytime, give your skin a soothing rehabilitative (使复原的) treatment in the evening. Cool your glowing skin with a product like La Mer's newly released The Concentrate (50ml/RMB 3,700).
2. Shine in your bikini.
At the
seashore, your body is more in the spotlight than your face. To become a bikini beauty, you need to take care of every inch of your skin. Exfoliate with a fine-grained scrub, which will not only let your exposed skin shine, but also acts as a deep cleanser to help prevent skin from
darkening and roughening after too much sun and salt water.
3. Control excess oil.
Never try to control oil with foundation that will clog pores (阻塞毛孔) when combined with sun block cream. Gentle oil-control products do a better job.
4. Hair care.
Beautiful girls never use free hotel shampoos, they carry their own moisturizing restoring hair care products. Wash your face and hair with fresh water after swimming to get rid of salty residue (残余,滤渣), and remember to protect your hair from too much sun
exposure.
Recommended skin care products
1. SPF30/PA++sunscreen products. HR Premium SPF40/PA++(RMB 620) protects your skin from ultraviolet rays.
2. Soothing, moisturizing, and after-sun rehabilitating products. Olay Intensive Nourishing Emulsion (RMB 120) has natural hot spring microelements to give rapid relief to burned skin.
3. Gentle exfoliating scrubs.
4. Easy to carry oil-control products.
5. Moisturizing shampoo and hair protection products.
Tips
1. Whitening is as important as wearing sunscreen. For dry skins, moisturizing products are a must. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack (RMB 150) is a good choice.
2. For
sensitive skins, Nuskin Aloe Vera Gel complements sun block creams. Washing your face with
lemonade stops skin from
darkening and is refreshing.
3. Never use body sun block creams on your face. Use special
facial sun block creams. For drier skins, Chanel UV Essential SPF45 (RMB 450) is nice, but Shu Uemura UV under Base DF (RMB 350) is much fresher.
If you're going to a small town:
Typical resorts: Lijiang, Yunnan; Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu; Phoenix, Zhejiang
Typical weather: 11-25℃ with a lot of ultraviolet radiation
As depicted in Teresa Teng's popular song Xiaocheng Gushi (Small Town Romances), small-secluded charming Chinese towns are the scene of many romances. Pebble tracks, winding lanes and ancient low villas make romantic backdrop for lovers wandering hand-in-hand. To prepare for a romantic and sweet stay in a small town, take note of the following:
1. Go easy on the make up! To match your light-hearted mood we recommend the
minimum of
make-up. Basic skin care to keep your face healthy and glowing is enough.
2. Wear flirtatious (俏皮的) colors for special nights.
Liquid foundation in heavy glass bottles and powdered blush or eye shadow is not easy to carry. So we recommend sun-blocking pressed powder, two-in-one brow pencil and eye liners, and products that can be used on both lips and cheeks.
3. Make-up removal.
Remember to remove sun block creams at night. Try a moisturizing and relaxing mask, and we promise you a renewed glowing
complexion the next day.
Recommended skin care products
1. SPF15/PA+sun block face cream. Its small size makes Freeplus UV Day Protector (RMB 190, sun block and moisturizer) a good choice.
2. A multi-functional cosmetic case. Bobbi Brow'ns hand-sized palettes (RMB 380), including a foundation stick,
creamy concealer, corrector, and sheer finish pressed powder are convenient.
3. Clear foundation. Maybelline Mousse White Stay (RMB 89) the mousse-like
texture makes this foundation light, breathable, and easy to carry.
4. Make up remover. Lancome's mild Gentle Clarifying and Cleaning Fluid (small set) is perfect for traveling and it does a good job of removing all
make-up thoroughly.
Tips
1. Apart from your daily skin care
routine, traveling girls may also need
protective lip cream, mascara (Maybelline is a good cheap choice), and
fragrance (Try Anna Sui's fresh Secret Wish Eau de Toilette).
2. For lazy girls, base creams are e
specially useful. Wearing just a base foundation cream is enough and saves the trouble of constantly reapplying foundation at romantic moments. Others may try
creamy concealers and pressed powers. Adding blush (Watsons small tubes of blush are cheap/RMB20-30 and works well) will give a healthy glow.
If you're going mountaineering:
Typical resorts: Huashan, Shanxi; Huangshan, Anhui; Shennongjia, Sichuan
Typical weather: 10-20℃, a high level of ultraviolet radiation and dry air.
Boys often complain that mountaineering girls with their disheveled (凌乱的) hair and no make up don't look attractive. In
response to this, we recommend you use absolutely no make up except for basic skin care. But looking beautiful without the aid of make up isn't easy! With all your mountaineering equipment in your backpack, there isn't much room for skin care products. The key is to choose the most important ones only, such as the following:
1. Moisturizing products.
Moisturizing and hydrating creams and masks help you become both sporty and ladylike.
2. Sun block products.
Even though the sunshine is usually not too strong in the mountains, you should take care not to be burned by ultraviolet radiation. Fresh breathable SPF20-30 sun block products are recommended.
3. Facial cleaning pads.
Easy to carry cleaning pads help you stay fresh and clean at all times.
4. Soothing creams.
Compound soothing creams can be
applied onto the skin directly to reduce inflammation and help you relax.
5. Lip conditioner and hand cream to prevent dryness caused by wind.
Tips
1. Make sure you have enough moisturizing skin care products, including a cleanser, cream, lotion and mask, even at the expense of make up products.
2. Secret
recipe mask: While your boyfriend is away
finding wood for the fire, apply a mashed banana to your face and leave for over ten minutes. Although tiny allergic symptoms (red
swollen patches) may appear right after you rinse (冲洗掉, 漂净) off the mask, your face will be dazzling after a sound sleep.
1. Tips of how to stay beautiful through traveling are provided in the passage.
2. Exfoliate with a fine-grained scrub can help prevent skin from
darkening.
3. Beautiful girls never use free hotel toothbrush.
4. Travelers had better not use special
facial sun block creams on body.
5. Typical resorts to a small town are Lijiang, Yunnan; Zhouzhuang and Sichuan.
6. If you're going to Shanxi, you are recommended to use basic skin care.

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
What is science
fiction? To begin with, the following
definition should be helpful: science
fiction is a literary sub-class which requires a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follow the implications of these changes to a conclusion. Although this
definition will
necessarily be modified, and expanded, and probably changed, in the course of this
exploration, it conveys much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure.
The first point-that science
fiction is a literary sub-class-is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science
fiction. Specially, science
fiction is a sub-class of prose
fiction, for nearly every piece of science
fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science
fiction, with Karel Capek's RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots) being the only one that is well known; the body of poetry that might be labeled science
fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science
fiction is a sub-class of prose
fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic function in much the same way as prose
fiction in general-that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.
Everything that can be said about prose
fiction, in general, applies to science
fiction. Every piece of science
fiction, whether short or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, a
setting, characters, language, and theme. And like any prose, the themes of science
fiction are
concerned with interpreting man's nature and experience in relation to the world around him. Themes in science
fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of
fiction. They are the result of a particular combination of narrator, story, plot, character,
setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science
fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it are basically the same they would be for any other story or novel.
57. Science
fiction is called a literary sub-class because it .
A) has limits of its own
B) cannot be made into a dramatic
presentation C) is not important enough to be a literary form
D) shares characteristics with other types of prose
fiction 58. Which of the following does NOT usually contribute to the theme in a piece of science
fiction?
A) Narrator. B) Setting. C) Rhyme. D) Plot.
59. An
appropriate title for the passage would be .
A) On the Dramatic Features of Science Fiction
B) Toward a Definition of Science Fiction
C) Science Fiction vs Prose Fiction
D) The Themes of Prose Fiction
60. The author's
definition suggests that all science
fiction deals with .
A) the
unfamiliar or unusual conditions
B) the same topics addressed by novels and short stories
C) Karel Cape's well-known hypothesis
D) the conflict between science and
fiction 61. According to the passage, which of the following conclusions is true?
A) Science
fiction attracts us in much the same way a story or novel does.
B) It is not possible to
define science
fiction in a clear way.
C) Many people tried in vain to explain what science
fiction is.
D) Very often science
fiction appears in such literary forms as drama and poetry.
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
The American economic system is organized around a basically private enterprise, market-oriented economy in which
consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under
competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system, it is the demand of individual
consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.
An important factor of a market-oriented economy is the
mechanism by which
consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this
mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more
consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating
mechanism in the American economic system.
The important factor in a private enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources (private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the
ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.
62. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A) Americans are never satisfied with their incomes.
B) Americans tend to overstate their incomes.
C) Americans want to have their incomes increased.
D) Americans want to increase the purchasing power of their incomes.
63. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A) Mechanized production can satisfy the
consumers.
B) Consumers can express their demands through producers.
C) Producers decide the prices of products.
D) Supply and demand
