Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out. 美是从内到外做最好的自己。 主题语境——健康与美(人与社会)。爱美之心人皆有之。自古英雄爱美人。那么，应该以怎样的标准来判断一个人美还是不美呢？或者说一个人的美取决于什么因素呢？外在美与内在美，或者说形体美与人格美(心灵美)。 Inner Beauty and Physical Beauty It is generally believed that physical beauty① refers to a person's appearance② which is gracefully③ appealing to④ others; while inner beauty means a person's moral standard which constitutes⑤ a certain value to people. Many people regard appearance the most important. For one thing，physical beauty is attractive to everybody, particularly to the opposite set; for another, charming faces can help us to win more chances so as to realize our dreams. Many other people think that although physical beauty is important, inner beauty is more important because it is something beneath us and can be very infectious⑥ to the society. In my opinion, physical beauty coexists with inner beauty. Physical beauty is by birth, but inner beauty is cultivated after birth. So we must learn to be helpful, giving, affectionate⑦， selfless, and forgiving which are all the valuable traits that inner beauty bears in people. Thus, we can create a harmonious atmosphere in which we are living and working. ①physical beauty 人体美 ②appearance n．外观 ③gracefully adv. 优美地；斯文地 ④appeal to 吸引 ⑤constitute vt. 构成；组成 ⑥infectious adj.有感染力的 ⑦affectionate adj. 充满感情的；示爱的 Section Ⅰ　Welcome to the unit and Reading—Preview [对应学生用书P98] 1．concentrate vi.& vt.集中(注意力、思想等)；全神贯注 2．extreme adj.极端的；严重的 n．极端不同的感情(或境况、行为方式等) 3．concerned adj.担心的，忧虑的；关注的，关切的 4．effect n．效果，作用；影响 5．energetic adj.精力充沛的，充满活力的 6．frightened adj.害怕的，惊吓的，受惊的 7．skip vt.不做(应做的事情等)；跳过 vi.蹦蹦跳跳地走；略过 8．collapse vi.昏倒；倒塌 n．塌陷；昏倒；突然失败 9．faint vi.昏厥 adj.昏眩的；微弱的；可能性不大的 10．stable adj.稳定的，稳固的；稳重的；沉稳的 11．prove linking v．后来被发现是 vt.证明，证实 12．nutrition n．营养 13．slim down 变苗条，减肥 14．side effect 副作用 15．take in 摄入，吸收 16．get into shape 强身健体 Step 1　Fast Reading Check yourself to what degree you have remembered the text by filling in the blanks
