Read the following advertisement and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
IDEAS OF BEAUTY
Although beauty is something that is desired throughout the world, its definition can be different
from one culture to the next. In some cultures, for example, beauty indicates good health or a high social
position while in others it suggests someone's suitability as a marriage partner. It's a topic which attracts
a great deal of attention, from scientists who study the factors involved in physical attraction, to fashion
and cosmetics companies who are keen to make money by selling products that will apparently make us
more beautiful and therefore attractive to others.
But beauty can sometimes come at a price. Cosmetic surgery is very common nowadays, with
people eager to change the way they look by having surgery to make their noses smaller or their lips
larger, but not all of these operations result in an improved appearance. For many, a suntanned body
represents a wealthy lifestyle of relaxing days at the beach, but nowadays we should all be aware of the
possible consequences of spending too much time in the sun.
In many cultures, symmetry is a key part of beauty, so people prefer balanced features on the face.
In some Asian cultures, large eyes are considered more beautiful than narrower ones. A slimmer body
may suggest a healthy and active person, so in the West in particular, people diet in order to look like
models. In other cultures, however, a larger build suggests that someone is wealthier because they can
afford to eat more and are therefore of a better social class. In Nigeria, women with a fuller figure are
considered to be more fertile and more able to have babies.
The Maasai people of East Africa regard beauty as something that can be controlled, and believe
that anyone can be beautiful just by looking after their appearance. For them, beauty exists in clean white
teeth, short hair and simple jewellery. This idea of beauty is perhaps something everyone can achieve.

A. changed
B. worse
C. better
D. broken
Question 31. The word "ones" in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. cultures
B. eyes
C. features
D. people
Question 32. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Beauty can have negative consequences.
B. Beauty can be expensive.
C. Beauty can be difficult to achieve.
D. Beauty can be a source of pride.
Question 33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Maasai people believe that beauty is unchangeable.
B. In Nigeria, women with a fuller figure are unlikely to have children.
C. Clean white teeth are seen as unattractive by the Maasai people.
D. In some cultures, larger builds are associated with wealth.
