(C)
It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads (广告) on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect (疏忽) dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still keep up her beauty if she has such excellent qualities(品质)as
knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept（相对的概念）. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Interested in new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide (潮流). Plainly（一般的） dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are rich soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
66. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion?
A. Because they are rich.
B. Because they are taught to follow any fashion.
C. Because they don’t dare to look attractive.
D. Because they think that they will look youthful and charming with beautiful
clothes.
67. Which is more important to a woman in the author’s opinion?
A. Richness of one’s mind. B. Looks.
C. Following the fashion. D. Wealth.
68. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The richness of women’s minds proves to be more beautiful than t
