A

Her face is framed by wavy brown hair extensions，her filled lips pursing towards the viewer.It could be a description of an Internet post，but the touched-up(修改过的) beauty is Diana Cecil，an English noblewoman who belonged to a powerful family at the Jacobean court.Experts at English Heritage have discovered that her portrait had been altered by restorers to enhance certain features，suggesting that our modern beauty standards might not be so modern after all.

The great-grand-daughter of William Cecil，Lord Burghley，one of Elizabeth Ⅰ’s closest advisers，Diana was considered one of the great beauties of her age.Yet it seems a later artist had other ideas.A restorer，probably in the 19th century，worked on the painting after it was damaged from being rolled widthways.It seems he also took the opportunity to alter the noblewoman’s face，enlarging her lips and lowering her hairline to reduce the size of her forehead.

Now，following careful conservation work，Cecil’s original appearance has been restored，with the full-length portrait painted by Cornelius Johnson when Cecil was about 31.The conservation team discovered the changes made to the Johnson painting after removing a yellowing layer of oily liquid that had covered its original，more vivid colors.They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature，and a date that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in 1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.

According to Alice Tate-Harte，a conservator at English Heritage，it was not uncommon for people to “sweeten” old paintings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.“Conservation wasn’t a profession，they weren’t working in institutions with salaries，” she said.“They were artist restorers and they had a bit more flexibility to prettify and beautify.Whereas we have a lot more ethics today，we must keep our retouching to a minimum.I hope I’ve done Diana justice by removing those additions and presenting her natural face to the world.”

1．What does the discovery of experts at English Heritage suggest?

A．Prettiness is in the eyes of the viewer.

B．Every great artist was once an amateur.

C．Past norms may repeat themselves at present.

D．Beautiful souls shine brighter than appearances.

2．What do we know about the original portrait of Diana Cecil?

A．The original beauty failed to entertain the restorer.

B．The portrait was in fact painted for William Cecil.

C．The painter intended to hide the beauty of Diana.

D．The age of Diana was exposed by her hairline.

3．Which of the following is an unexpected finding from the conservation work?

A．The addition of the bright color.B．The portrait’s date of completion.

C．The removal of the artist’s signature.D．The extent of damage to the painting.

4．What does Alice think about the duty of art conservation?

A．It means an artistic way of living.B．It depends on artists’ preference.

C．It requires ethical considerations.D．It represents the fashion of time.

B

It is natural to compare ourselves to others and to get caught in a mental comparison loop，and yet this seldom is beneficial.You may have heard the expression，“Comparison is the thief of joy.” To me，this rings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel joy at the same time.

Comparison not only robs us of joy，but it can also fuel self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance.Typically，comparison leads to perceiving others as superior to you in some ways and feeling inadequate or inferior.“I am not as successful，competent，attractive as they are.Why don’t I have what they have？” We use comparison as an avenue for self-criticism，“What’s wrong with me? I must be an inadequate loser.” This hinders(阻碍)self-acceptance.

We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards，and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others.The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up，particularly if we have a low sense of self-worth，and we worry that others are going to judge or criticize our perceived failures.We don’t just ask ourselves，“What’s wrong with me？” We worry what others will think: “What’s wrong with them？” The looming(迫近的)sense of possible rejection creates uneasiness and anxiety.

Comparison is deceptive(造成假象的)．It tells us that if we meet the expectations，lose weight，get a promotion，or buy the house，we will feel better，calmer，more self-assured，and stop comparing ourselves.This may be temporarily true，yet，a comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based on our thoughts and sense of self，not external circumstances.We can always find something else to compare，another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting.

To stop comparing ourselves to others，we have to recognize that the comparison game is unwinnable and exhausting and stop playing.We should shift from being guided by comparison to being guided by personal values.

5．What is the author’s attitude towards comparison?

A．Supportive.B．Tolerant.C．Negative.D．Uncertain.

6．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The significance of comparison.B．The joy of self-acceptance.

C．The necessity of self-criticism.D．The consequences of comparison.

7．What can be inferred about comparison from paragraph 4?

A．It is rooted in our inner thoughts.

B．It makes us become better.

C．We will stop it if we achieve our goals.

D．It is a reliable measure of success.
