Betty is not a traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of America’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it? The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York. The TV show has just started. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan. Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA. “I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it’s about the underdog (弱者) ”, says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show.

答案

小题1:B 小题2:D 小题3:C 小题4:B 小题5:A

贝蒂不是传统的美国人，但这就没有阻止她成为美国最受欢迎的电视角色之一，其原因是：魅力比美貌更具吸引力。通过自身的努力工作，凭借自己的魅力和智慧，贝蒂最终从丑小鸭蜕变为美丽的小天鹅。该节目吸引了一大批观众，获得了两个金球奖项。该节目如此大受欢迎，也与23岁美国女演员费雷拉的出色表演分不开。 小题1:细节理解题。根据第二节的第一句可知：The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty.。 小题2:词义猜测题。句中的it带指the show。 小题3:细节理解题。根据短文的最后一节可知。 小题4:细节理解题。“在该节目中，Betty扮演的是美丽的小天鹅”，该句是错误的。 小题5:主旨大意题。本题的最佳标题是A，表示“内在美”。
