Passage Ten

It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Adson fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they haverealized or not, women are besieged (包围)by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that withoutbeautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the costof their appearance and youth?

But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. Therichness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who hasexperienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she hassuch excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage and concern for others.

In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts(概念). People who keep ayoung mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with thetide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile(肥沃的)soilwhich can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.

Passage Eleven

Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone,but that one's muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat thesame way that we listen to music with our bodies.

You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears butwith your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving theirbodies or, more specifically, some parts of their bodies. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, 54he is tempted to direct the band even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot get all possibleenjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himselfinto the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, butthis participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.
