Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

1. The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs of long white hair to make themselves attractive. In cultures throughout the world, people have gone to extreme lengths to achieve the goal of beauty. [A]

2. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. According to a recent report, one out of three consumers globally say they are spending more money today on beauty and health care products than ever before. Worldwide, sales of makeup, dieting, hair and skin-care products, as well as gym memberships and cosmetic surgery, generate billions of dollars every year. Beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people not only make more money, they also get picked first for opportunities and are perceived as friendlier. [B]

3. But what exactly is beauty? Trying to define it is difficult, and yet we know it when we see it, or so we think. "Beauty is health," says one psychologist. "It's a billboard saying 'I'm healthy. I can pass on your genes.'" In studies done by psychologists at New Mexico State University, men regularly showed a preference for women with certain features: larger eyes, clear skin, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin. Other studies suggest that women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind tells us that these equal health and genetic well-being. In other words, it's a fundamental part of human nature to look for such qualities in a mate. [C]

4. Not everyone agrees with this notion, however. "Our natural hardwired-ness can be altered by all sorts of expectations, predominantly cultural," says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. What is viewed as attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look in most Western fashion magazines, for example, and the women on the pages are thin. But is this the "perfect" body type for women worldwide? Beauty standards are subjective and vary around the world. Yu and Shepard found in one study that while being overweight is undesirable in Western cultures, for native peoples in southeast Peru, this is not the case. [D]

5. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives, but it is extremely difficult to define exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits that are considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always conform to a single, uniform standard. A person's cultural background, for example, may influence what they find attractive in others. In the end, beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.
