一轮复习阅读材料 Unit18 beauty Unit19 language阅读下列短文，按要求完成任务Life is not a beauty contest. We all focus on our imperfections．In fact，you should see yourself in a proper way. It’s necessary for you to know that self­knowledge (自知之明) is the most important beauty secret.Don’t hate yourself for wanting to be beautiful. Good­looking people get special treatment from strangers，employers and even their own mothers. We’re not even close to our objective when it comes to judging our own looks. Other people see the whole package. But when we look in the mirror，we’re likely to pay attention to imperfections. For example：That bump (凸起) on your friend’s nose？It’s her feature！It gives her character！But to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly. Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.So if we can’t trust the judgment of ourselves，or the words of friends and family which can take away our doubts，we’re left to the cool judgment of strangers to satisfy our curiosity about our appearances. The website “Hot or Not”，which lets people hand their photos in for others to judge，had nearly 2 million daily page views within a week in 2000.But it’s not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.Everyone may pay too much attentions to his or her own appearance，and at the same time worry about criticized. If you are particular attentive to your body，or if you feel uncomfortable in public，you are certainly hot than you think. And we all have the ability to change why other people judge us without changing their looks. If you believed that you look good，others will see you in the more favorable way.
