Unit ThreeAnalytical ListeningListening 1 A News ReportAnnouncer: What is beauty? An often-quoted expression is “Beauty is only skin deep”. In other words, someone can be beautiful on the outside, but be mean or unpleasant on the inside. Another famous saying is “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. That is to say, each person’s idea of beauty is different. But is it true that each person perceives beauty differently? Or, does our social and cultural background influence our ideas about beauty? We turn to reporter Gwen Silva for the answer to this question.Reporter: It’s said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, yet the opposite seems to be true. People within a culture usually have similar ideas about beauty. Numerous studies on beauty have had surprising results. These studies have shown that most people believe that average faces are the most beautiful faces.It was Judith Langlois, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, who showed that most people think average looking faces are beautiful. In addition, the research shows that a beautiful face is a symmetrical face. To put it another way, if both sides of the face are exactly the same, we consider a person beautiful. Extreme variations in symmetry are usually not considered beautiful, Langlois says, and may even be disturbing to observers.The latest research on facial beauty was completed by psychologists Pamela M. Pallett, Stephen Link, and Kang Lee. These researchers were interested in finding out if there was a relationship between the parts of the face that people considered to be most beautiful. So, in four separate experiments the researchers asked university students to compare images of 12 faces. Each face was actually the same person—but there were different distances between the eyes and the mouth.After the experiments, the researchers discovered a “golden ratio”—the ideal distance between the eyes, the mouth, and the edge of the face. Faces were judged most beautiful when the distance between the eyes and the mouth was 36 percent of the length of the face. Not surprisingly, these measurements are exactly those of an “average” face.Scientists have also studied the role of beauty in the attraction between the sexes. In studies by psychologists Victor Johnston and David Perrett, men consistently preferred women with large eyes, full lips, and a small nose and chin. Think of classic beauties such as Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn or, nowadays, Angelina Jolie or Halle Berry. This preference for big eyes and full lips is not random. According to anthropologist Don Symons, the brain tells men that full lips and big eyes equal health and the ability to produce healthy babies. It’s an instinct that has evolved over a hundred thousand years, Symons believes.However, not everyone agrees. Anthropologists do not agree that there is one standardidea of beauty. Around the world, different cultures have different ideas about what constitutes beauty. For example, the Mayan people of Central America considered crossed eyes beautiful. A number of African tribes think scars make both men and women more beautiful. Among the Maori people of Australia, a woman is considered most beautiful when her lips are tattooed blue.It does appear, therefore, that the old saying is wrong: Beauty does not lie in the eye of the beholder. Well, at least not entirely. People from the same culture usually envision beauty in the same way, but there are many variations—and many different types of beauty—around the world. This has been Gwen Silva, reporting. Listening 2 An Informal ConversationSandra: I’m so hungry. I hope the food comes soon.David: Me, too.Ana: I’m not so hungry yet, so I don’t mind waiting. Hey—by the way—I forgot to ask you about the fashion show. Dad, did you like it?David: Actually, yes. I’m really glad your mother convinced me to go. It was really interesting.Ana: And did you like it too, Mom?Sandra: I did. It certainly wasn’t a boring fashion show. The clothes were so imaginative, weren’t they?David: Yes.Sandra: That antigravity jacket was like a piece of science fiction.Ana: Antigravity jacket? What exactly is an antigravity jacket?David: I guess you could say it’s a balloon.Sandra: Right ... well, it’s part balloon, but it’s also part jacket. When the wearer takes it off, it just floats in mid-air like a balloon.Ana: That sounds cool!Sandra: Oh, it was. The designer, Alex Soza, said he gets his ideas from daydreams, and the antigravity jacket was just one of his daydreams.David: That jacket was interesting, I guess. But what amazed me was the vest made of Kevlar.Ana: Sorry, what does “Kevlar” mean?David: Well, Kevlar is a man-made fiber and they use it to make a cloth which is stronger than steel. You’ve probably heard of it before. Police officers wear Kevlar—or bullet-proof vests— sometimes to make sure they don’t get hurt if they are shot.Ana: Oh, that’s right. I know what you’re talking about now.Sandra: Kevlar is used in ropes, too—for astronauts in space.David: A model dressed as a police officer was walking a police dog, and the dog was wearing a Kevlar vest.Sandra: Oh, yeah. That dog was cute, wasn’t he?Ana: It’s amazing that Kevlar can actually stop bullets! It must be very strong. David: Oh, yes, it is. But it was developed back in the 1960s. These days they’re working on fibers that are considerably stronger.Ana: Really? Like what, for example?Sandra: Well, they said at the fashion show that spider silk is a natural fiber that is five times as strong as steel. And textile manufacturers would love to get a lot of spider silk at once, but it’s difficult to raise large groups of spiders together.Ana: Why?David: Umm, because spiders sometimes eat each other.Ana: Eww!Sandra: Instead, some scientists have found an interesting alternative. They call it BioStrong, don’t they?David: Actually, no, I think it’s called BioSteel.Sandra: Oh, that’s right. Scientists make BioSteel by inserting the spider-silk gene into goats. So, now the goats produce spider-silk protein in their milk, and scientists have derived a super strong fiber from the goat milk.Ana: That’s neat. What do they use it for?Sandra: They said that instead of using rockets to transport things into space, they envision that BioSteel will help pull things up to space and down again without having to use rockets.Ana: That’s really amazing.David: So, what did you do this weekend, Ana?Ana: Well, my friend was exhibiting some of her designs at an art gallery downtown, so I went there. She designs wearable electronics.Sandra: What do you mean by “wearable electronics”?Ana: Well, wearable electronics integrate clothes and electronics. She makes some really useful pieces—for example, a jacket with a cell phone right in the collar. My favorite item though was the GPS sneakers, um, sneakers with a global positioning system in them ... To allow parents to track lost children or rescue teams to track lost hikers.David: How innovative! And it sounds really useful, too.Ana: Oh, yes, definitely. Now, where’s our food? I’m starving.Viewing the WorldNarrator: In northwest Thailand, close to the Burmese border, lies a refugee camp. It harbors an unusual tribe. Stretched necks and collars made of brass rings define these women as Padaung. For centuries, the Padaung women have carried the tribe’s mark, the collar known as hcaung. But each of them began the painful process as a girl, when her bones were small and flexible. Even on the young, however, the coils are uncomfortable. To achieve the stretched-neck look of her elders, she’ll have to returnevery few years to have more coils added. The collar continues to hurt, but for Padaung girls, pain is a requirement of belonging. The long-neck look is actually an illusion.Manang: When you wear the rings, it is not your neck that gets longer. It is your shoulders that gets pushed down and lowered.Narrator: As the coil grows, its pressure pushes down on the shoulders and chest. The rib cage caves like a squeezed balloon and the neck appears to rise higher from the collapsed collar bones. The intentional deformation might seem cruel to outsiders, but to the Padaung, the hcaung is the signature mark of a tribeswoman. But the extreme practice that identified them as Padaung also marked them for persecution in their homeland of Burma, now called Myanmar.In 1962, the military took control of the country, promising modernization. The new leaders disapproved of tribes that were deemed primitive, and tribal customs, including the hcaung, were made illegal. To maintain their identity and escape civil war, Manang and others fled to the neighboring country of Thailand. Although safe from war, the tribe is now caught between two countries and two worlds. Narrator: Housed in refugee camps, the Padaung have drawn crowds of Western tourists, who travel here to witness the tribe’s ancient ways. Unexpectedly, what was once a persecuted mark of identity is now a profitable way to make a living. Today, Mabang will have the opportunity to find out how she’ll look without her brass collar. After 10 years, it’s time for the rings to be refitted. It will take close to an hour of pulling at the brass before the rings can be lifted from her shoulders.Mabang is astonished at how light she feels. She only speaks the Burmese dialect, so Maja helps her express her feelings.Maja: Well, we never get to see what the neck looks like, so we want to have a look and see how it turned out.Narrator: For outsiders, it’s incredible to imagine never seeing one’s own neck. For Mabang, it’s a transformative experience.Maja: She wants to dress up in regular clothes and let her hair down and see if she will look pretty.Narrator: As excited as she was to try on a new identity, Mabang eagerly returns to her old one, even though it may be years, even decades, before she sees her neck again.Maja: She says, this is our tradition, so it does not feel strange.Narrator: For Mabang, the embrace of coiled metal offers a passage back to who she is, not a restriction on who she might be. As refugees, the Padaung have endured much in order to preserve their culture, and their customs. Today, these rings of brass represent one tribe’s commitment to a future that does not sacrifice its past. Further Listening Listening 1In the world of high-fashion models, you don’t see the variations in body typethat you find with random people on the street. In fact, the classic runway model is skinny, or thin. Many people are disturbed by extremely thin models in fashion shows and magazines. Some models have a height-to-weight ratio that is unhealthy. For example, a model with an unhealthy height-to-weight ratio might be around 173 centimeters tall but weigh only 49 kilograms.The modeling business is slowly evolving, and the type of model that designers prefer is changing. In the past, fashion shows consistently featured extremely skinny models. Now, healthy-looking models are also appearing on runways. In some countries—Australia, for example—the government has even asked fashion designers and magazines to stop hiring extremely thin models for fashion shows and photo shoots. Now when designers think about presenting their clothes in a fashion show, they often envision their clothes on people with different body types. As a result, people’s perception of fashion models and their opinion of what constitutes beauty are starting to change.Listening 2Have you ever considered cosmetic surgery? The idea of changing one’s looks surgically disturbs or even frightens many people. Still, people’s feelings about cosmetic surgery have evolved over time. According the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than eight million cosmetic surgeries were completed worldwide in 2009. The most popular type of cosmetic surgery was liposuction, a surgery where fat is removed from the body. Liposuction surgeries constitute about 19 percent of the total cosmetic surgeries in the world.Listening 3If you don’t already think clothing and textiles are amazing, here are a few examples that will convince you that they truly are.• The Cargolifter is a fabric balloon that is considerably taller than most balloons. It is nearly as tall as a 20-story building. It can carry up to 75 tons. It is used to transport trains from one place to another.• A design laboratory has developed an “intelligent apron” that can understand what you say and help you in the kitchen. Electronics and a microphone are integrated into the apron. The apron can turn on the stove, set a cooking timer, or show you a recipe on a screen.• New York City’s Museum of Modern Art recently exhibited a number of alternative items. One was “non-stop shoes”. These shoes collect the energy you create in the day, and in the evening you can insert an electric cord into them to poweryour electronic devices.。

The final and most rewarding possibility are the people who understand that change is a part of everything. These people welcome change. They realize that change is what makes thingshappen. These people are quick to make the necessary adaptations and suffer the least from what is to come.
The first option is to refuse to change or adapt to any new circumstances, just like the person who still uses a word processor instead of a computer. These are people who are afraid of change. When change requires new learning, as it often does, some people don't think they will be able to master the new skills. So it is easier to simply refuse the changes than adapt.

For people who live in cities, visiting a natural place gives them a break from the noise and pollution they live with every day. Other people enjoy seeing the wildlife in natural areas. They might also enjoy outdoor recreational activities such as hiking or going on a picnic.
