Yu' re s yung right nw, but I hpe this letter will be helpful t yu ne day when yu' re lder. I feel it is my bligatin, as a mther f tw little girls, t lead yu dwn a path that is relatively healthy when it cmes t beauty and self-image. In a lt f wmen's eyes, I' ve prbably already failed in this aspect due t a lt f pink Barbic dlls in Vera's rm right nw.
But I will say this abut Barbie dlls: I played with Barbie dlls fr many years when I was grwing up and here I have a healthy bdy and a psitive image. I have a master's degree,a successful career and a published bk. If Barbie dlls were really s damaging t my femininity(女人气质) and self-image,I highly dubt whether I culd list all f these achievements.
It's hard fr wmen nt t wrry abut ur weight r t wish we culd affrd mre stylish clthes. It's hard nt t want smene else's hair r eyelashes. We wmen g rund and rund in circles, hlding hands and trying t be ne anther smetimes. The thing I' ll tell yu is this: nt even the prettiest f us feel settled. The girl yu think lks the mst perfect in all the wrld is prbably the girl wh wants t change herself mre than anyne else.
Dn't let that message carry any weight within yurselves. Yu are nt wrthless. Yu are s full f lve and light and yu shuld let it shine thrugh yur every secnd. If smene pushes yu dwn fr standing tall, then just push yurself back up and stand even taller, and knw that the reasn why they pushed yu dwn in the first place is just that they' re scared. I want t tell yu that I have never in my life felt mre beautiful than when I have std my tallest.

Despite its benefits, drinking milk int adulthd, let alne ther animals' milk, is a strange behavir in the animal kingdm. What makes it even stranger is that an estimated 68 percent f the glbal human ppulatin is actually lactse (乳糖) intlerant. Scientists are still getting t the bttm f why the practice began and cntinued. This research culd unlck new understandings f ur fd cultures and even ur DNA.
The earliest evidence f animal milk drinking dates back almst 9000 years t mdern-day Turkey near the sea f Marmara, where milk fats have been fund n ancient pttery. Accrding t Jessica Hendy, a scientist at the University f Yrk, then milk wuld have been part f a diverse diet, fr it was mixed with ther fd. Frm its rigins, the technlgy f making use f milk spread int the Caucasus and then acrss Eurpe. By the Brnze Age, peple may have been using cw’ s milk t feed their babies.
Fr a lng time, researchers believed that milk drinking changed as a cultural practice hand in hand with the spread f genetic mutatins(变异) that allwed peple t tlerate milk int adulthd. But ne recent finding suggests milk drinking ccurred befre these mutatins and might nt even require them. In Eurpe, peple appear t have been drinking milk fr thusands f years befre any genetic ability t drink milk became cmmn. The ancient cheese making equipment might ffer part f the slutin: Fermenting(发酵) milk int ygurt, cheese, r ther prducts reduces the amunt f lactse. In Mnglia, researchers have nt yet fund a genetic mutatin that allws peple t digest lactse, despite the majr rle f milk in that culture. S sme scientists held that there might be ther ptential factrs helping.
What we d knw abut the histry f milk reveals hw wrng-headed ne-size-fits-all nutritinal guidance can be. In mdern America, milk drinking has been presented as a universal gd. In reality, hw milk is prepared can change the nutritinal picture, and hw much ur bdies. prcess depends, at least in part, n ur wn genes.
38 . What can we learn abut milk drinking frm paragraph 2?
A . It used t be a symbl f identity. B . It initially started with little babies.
C . It was the key diet f ancient peple. D . It has been a human traditin fr lng.
39 . Why des the authr mentin Eurpe m paragraph 3?
A . T give a suggestin. B . T define a cncept.
C. T make a predictin. D . T clarify a finding.
40 . What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A . Milk cnsumptin functins as a cure-all.
B . Milk intake varies frm persn t persn.
C. Milk's nutritinal value is beynd imaginatin.
D . One's milk digestive ability changes cnstantly.
41 . Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A . The Mystery f Drinking MilkB . The Prcess f Genetic Mutatins
C . The Phenmenn f Lactse IntleranceD . The Nutritinal Guidance n Milk Cnsumptin

D yu have a suit r dress in the clset that yu haven't wrn fr years but are reluctant t get rid f? Maybe yu say, “I can't thrw that away because I paid gd mney fr it?”. If yu recgnize this in yurself, then yu are suffering frm cmmitment t the sunk cst fallacy (谬论). It ccurs when we feel that we have invested t much t quit. This psychlgical trap causes us t stick with a plan even if it n lnger serves us and the csts clearly utweigh the benefits.
Arkes and Blumer cnducted a survey shwing that peple are influenced by sunk cst fallacy in their decisins. Participants imagined spending $100 n a ski trip t Michigan and $50 n Wiscnsin, realizing later they were fr the same weekend. They were tld Wiscnsin wuld be mre enjyable. When asked which trip t take,54% chse Michigan despite the reasnable chice being Wiscnsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.
Sunk cst fallacy takes place when we let emtins clud ur decisins. Once we' ve invested in a chice, we feel guilt r regret if we dn't fllw thrugh. We fail t realize that past csts wn't be recvered. Instead, we base decisins n past csts, ignring present and future csts and benefits. This may be due t lss aversin(厌恶), where lsses feel wrse than gains. We avid lsses, making chices based n aviding the“lss” f ur past investment instead f cnsidering the benefits gained if we dn't cntinue ur cmmitment.
N ne can deny the fact that we benefit a lt frm perseverance. S ur sciety lves t emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Dn't waste. But nly yu knw the right path fr yu. Smetimes walking away is the hardest chice f all. Yu might realize a path yu' re n is n lnger the right ne r never was. That's a painful realizatin.
42. What phenmenn des the authr describe at the beginning f the text?
A . Peple benefit frm sticking with a plan.
B . Peple's cnsumptin view has changed.
C . Peple refuse t give up the past cmmitment.
D . Peple's clthes are becming mre expensive.
43 . Why did mre than half f the participants chse the trip t Michigan in the survey?
A . T save mre f the lss. B T appear mre reasnable.
C. T make a greater investment. D . T enjy mre f themselves.
44 . When des“sunk cst fallacy” ccur?
A . When we dn't fllw thrugh ur chices.
B . When we dn't cntinue ur cmmitment.
C . When we stp feeling guilty and regretful.
D . When we make decisins based n past csts emtinally.
45 . What is the authr's attitude tward“perseverance”?
A . Favrable. B . Dismissive(蔑视的).C . Objective. D . Unclear.
