If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose,
a tattoo (纹身) design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion
be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The
following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.
On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have
perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild
animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a ager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who
will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic (麻药) and this tooth filing is
really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are
thought ready to become an .
In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the 'Papaung'. They believe that a woman can
only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are
either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be
wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the
chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders
down, in this way the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never
once taking them off.

A.
Wrongly convinced man and his accuser tell their stories
B.
NEW YORK,NY, January 5,2010. St.Martin’s Press has announced the release of the paperback edition of Picking Cotton, a remarkable true story of what novelist John Grisham calls an ―account of violence, rage, redemption(救赎)，and, ultimately forgiveness.‖ The story began in 1987, in Burlington, North Carolina, with the rape of a young while college student named Jennifer Thompson. During her ordeal(折磨), Thompson swore(发誓) to herself that she would never forget the face of her rapist(强奸犯), a man who climbed through the window of her apartment and assaulted(攻击) her brutally. During the attack, she made an effort to memorize every detail of his face, looking for scars, tattoos( 纹身)，or other identifying marks. (46 ) When the police asked her if she could identify the assailant (袭 击者) from a book of mug shots(嫌疑犯照片), she picked one that she was sure was correct, and later she identified the same man in a lineup(行列). Based on her convincing eye witness testimony, a 22-year-old black man named Ronald Cotton was sentenced to prison for two life terms. Cotton’s lawyer appealed the decision(提出上诉), and by the time of the appeals hearing(上诉听证会), evidence had come to light suggesting that the real rapist might have been a man who looked very like Cotton, an imprisoned criminal named Bobby Poole. Another trial was held. (47 ) Jennifer Thompson looked at both men face to face, and once again said that Ronald Cotton was the one who raped her. Eleven years later, DNA evidence completely exonerated(证明 清白)Cotton and just as unequivocally(明确地) convicted Poole, who confessed to the crime. Thompson was shocked and devastated(使震惊) (48 ) ―The man I was so sure I had never seen in my life was the man who was inches from my throat, who raped me, who hurt me, who took my spirit away, who robbed me of my soul,‖ she wrote. ―And the man I had identified so surely on so many occasions was absolutely innocent.‖ Jennifer Thompson decided to meet Cotton and apologize to him personally. (49 ) Remarkably both were able to put this tragedy behind them, overcome the racial barrier that divided them, and write a book, which they have subtitled ―Our memoir(回忆录) of injustice and redemption(拯救).‖ Nevertheless, Thompson says, she still lives ―with constant pain that my profound mistake cost him so dearly. I cannot begin to imagine what would have happened had my mistaken identification occurred in a capital (可判死刑的)case. (50 )
