It is believed that our 30.1 (INHERIT) genetic characteristics play the decisive role in our being beautiful and appealing to other individuals. Although there is no clear theory on what beauty really is and how it works, the results of a recent scientific research seem to confirm the hypothesis that our facial features are determined by our brains. Their possible role is to reflect health and 30.2 (FERTILE) as well as genetic superiority - the quality that people, 30.3 (SUPPOSE), share with animals which, like humans, have their own courtship 30.4 (PREFER). Most species of birds, for example, rely on the brightest colours of plumage when 30.5 (FAVOURITE) their partners. To them, the vivid shades of the feathers indicate the potential partner's genetic fitness to produce healthy 30.6 (PROGENITOR).

In humans, similarly, beauty shows our well-being and our sexual 30.7 (ATTRACT), but as far as our facial characteristics are taken into account, people tend to regard as extremely charming the faces with the highest degree of symmetry. And equally 30.8 (EFFECT), the facial properties may also indicate the appeal of the whole body.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

The knowledge and 33.1 that people gain through travelling is usually perceived as the best fulfilment in life. It is the inquisitive human nature that 33.2 people to seek thrilling experiences and to set out on an exploration trip. Those who travel frequently and to diverse places benefit from establishing new relationships and acquiring a better knowledge about other cultures and lifestyles.

However, there is a 33.3 of truth in the assumption that people are prone to cherishing cliches and unfounded prejudices about other nations and their characteristics. Sometimes, it is only the first-hand encounter that can help change the 33.4 towards the so-called “inferior communities”. This direct contact with a different civilization enables travellers to drop their baseless assumptions and get acquainted with the real concept of life in all four corners of the globe.

33.5 question, travelling facilitates friendship and makes it easier for many to acknowledge the true value of different traditions. Yet, it does not always mean enjoyment. It may also involve coming close to the atrocities of real existence as well as becoming aware of the challenges and hardships that other people have to struggle with. Hence, a true voyage is one with a good deal of experience to 33.6 about, very often combined with exposure to abhorrent sights and incredible ordeals. The learning to be complete, thus, requires an ability to observe and analyze the surroundings, both their glamour and brutality.

Read the passage below and fill in each blank with ONE suitable word.

Are you happy with your figure? The answer is probably a resounding "No!". It seems nobody is satisfied with the body they were born with, and longing 34.1 a more beautiful physique is just making everyone miserable. But just what is beauty, anyway?

Cultures have differing views about what is beautiful and, because of these 34.2, outrageous situations can develop. For example, when cross-cultural beauty contests are organised, non-Western contestants are chosen not on the basis of their true, local beauty features, but according to the 34.3 to which their features and proportions approximate the current Western ideal.

It is clear that beauty does not have any intrinsic value. At the 34.4 of our response to beauty is our urge to classify information. Every new experience is automatically checked against and instantaneously 34.5 to previous experiences, and when we find 'beauty', we are simply unconsciously analysing how well a subject compares to our own pre-set rules. It is comparative, not intrinsic; relative, not absolute.

The hard truth is that beauty is in our brains and 34.6 else, so for those who don't consider their body beautiful, the message is clear: don't try to change your body; simply change your mind.

The Dover Bronze Age Boat

A beautifully preserved boat, made around 3,000 years ago and discovered by chance in a muddy hole, has had a profound impact on archaeological research.

It was 1992. In England, workmen were building a new road through the heart of Dover, to connect the ancient port and the Channel Tunnel, which, when it opened just two years later, was to be the first land link between Britain and Europe for over 10,000 years. A small team from the Canterbury Archaeological Trust(CAT) worked alongside the workmen, recording new discoveries bought to light by the machines. At the base of the deep shaft six meters below the modern streets a wooden structure was revealed. Cleaning away the waterlogged site overlying the timbers, archaeologists realized its true nature. They had found a prehistoric boat, reserved by the type of sediment in which it was buried. It was then named by Dover Bronze Age Boat.

About nine meters of the boat’s length was recovered; one end lay beyond the excavation and had to be left. What survived consisted essentially of four intricately carved oak planks: two on the bottom, joined along a central seam by a complicated system of wedges and stitched to the others. The seams had been made watertight by pads of moss, fixed by wedges and yew stitches.

The timbers that closed the recovered end of the boat had been removed in antiquity when it was abandoned, but much about its original shape could be deduced. There was also evidence for missing upper side planks. The boat was not a wreck, but had been deliberately discarded, dismantled and broken. Perhaps it had been “ritually killed” at the end of its life, like other Bronze Age objects.

With hindsight, it was significant that the boat was found and studied by mainstream archaeologists who naturally focused on its cultural context. At the time, ancient boats were often considered only from a narrower technological perspective, but news about the Dover boat reached to broad audience. In 2002, on the tenth anniversary of the discovery, the Dover Bronze Age Boat Trust hosted a conference, where this meeting of different traditions became apparent. Alongside technical papers about the boat, other speakers explored its social and economic contexts, and the religious perceptions of boats in Bronze Age societies. Many speakers came from overseas, and debate about cultural connections was renewed.

Within seven years of excavation, the Dover boat had been conserved and displayed, but it was apparent that there were issues that could not be resolved simply by studying the old wood. Experimental archaeology seemed to be the solution: a boat reconstruction, half-scale or full-sized, would permit assessment of the different hypotheses regarding its build and the missing end. The possibility of returning to Dover to search for a boat’s unexcavated northern end was explored, but practical and financial difficulties were insurmountable and there was no guarantee that the timbers had survived the previous decade in the changed environment.

Detailed proposals to reconstruct the boat were drawn up in 2004. Archaeological evidence was beginning to suggest a Bronze Age community straddling the Channel, brought together by the sea, rather than separated by it. In a region today divided by languages and borders, archaeologists had a duty to inform the general public about their common cultural heritage.

The boat project began in England but it was conceived from the start as a European collaboration. Reconstruction was only part of a scheme that would include a major exhibition and an extensive educational and outreach programme. Discussions began early in 2005 with archaeological bodies, universities and heritage organizations either side of the Channel. There was much enthusiasm and support, and an official launch of the project was held at an international seminar in France in 2007.

Financial support was confirmed in 2008 and the project then named BOAT 1550BC, got under way in June 2011. A small team began to make the boat at the start of 2012 on the Roman Lawn outside Dover Museum. A full-scale reconstruction of a midsection had been made in 1996, primarily to see how Bronze Age replica tools performed. In 2012, however, the hull shape was at the centre of the work, so modern power tools were used to carve the oak planks, before turning to prehistoric tools for finishing. It was decided to make the replica half-scale for reasons of cost and time, any synthetic materials were used for the stitching, owing to doubts about the scaling and tight timetable.

Meanwhile, the exhibition was being prepared ready for opening in July 2012 at the Castle Museum in Boulognesurmer. Entitled “Beyond the Horizon: Societies of the Channel & North Sea 3,500 years ago”, it brought together for the first time a remarkable collection of Bronze Age objects, including many new discoveries for commercial archaeology and some of the great treasure of the past. The reconstructed boat, as a symbol of the maritime connections that bound together the communities either side of the Channel, was the centerpiece.
