外研版高中英语选择性版必修第三册课时分层作业3 Developing ideas—Writing

课时分层作业(三)
Ⅰ．阅读理解
A person，like a commodity，needs packaging．But going too far is absolutely undesirable．A little exaggeration (夸张)，however，does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages．To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way，it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself．A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment，so that the person so packaged is not a commodity，but a human being，lively and lovely．
A young person，especially a female，shining with beauty and full of life，has all the favor granted．Any attempt to make-up would be self-defeating．Youth，however，comes and goes in a flash．Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years．If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work，you are unique in your natural qualities，and your attractiveness and grace will remain．Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been，through plains，mountains and jungles，running its course as it should．You have really lived your life，which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth．There is no need to make use of hair dyeing．The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland．Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature，for harmony itself is beauty，while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness．To be in the elder's company is like reading a thick book of good edition，which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with．As long as one finds where one stands，one knows how to package oneself，just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging．
