Максимальное количество баллов - 15 THE MASK OF BEAUTY 1. ________________________ The green ocean sparkles in the sunshine and tall palm trees wave gently in the wind. Young women roller-skate along the pavement, a young sun-tanned lifeguard walks along the beach. This is Huntingdon Beach, just south of Los Angeles, where everyone seems to be young and beautiful. 2. _________________________ It is also the home of successful surgeon, Dr Stephen Marquardt, who believes that he has discovered a scientific formula for measuring beauty. And in a city like Los Angeles, where being attractive means everything, this kind of knowledge could be worth a fortune. 3. _________________________ He is by no means the first person to try to discover exactly what makes people attractive. The ancient Greeks were among the first to look into the question. Plato believed that it should be possible to define a beautiful face in terms of mathematics. Over the centuries, others continued the hunt for the formula, but without any real success. 4. _________________________ Dr Marquardt, however, says he has now found the answer. He has developed a practical way of measuring beauty, which he calls “the mask”. This is the series of lines and shapes making up a face. There are specific, set distances between all the features and the outside shape, and it shows the exact proportions that the ideally beautiful face should have. 5.__________________________ By laying the mask over a photograph of a face, it is possible to see how attractive someone is – the more a face fits the mask, the more beautiful it is said to be. The fact that the mak can measure the beauty of men, women and people, of different races makes it a particularly useful instrument. 6. __________________________ It is alarming to think that, if we all start changing the way we look, there may soon be thousands of individuals wandering the streets of Los Angeles looking exactly the same. But it is even more alarming that people may begin to think they are unattractive if their face does not have the proportions of Dr Markquardt's mask 7. __________________________ This would be a great mistake, because there are two sorts of beauty – one is the beauty of the mask, the measurable beauty of the face. The other sort is the kind that we see when we love someone, a much more powerful, enduring beauty that comes from the heart. This is the beauty expressed by poets, the beauty that does not fade, and it is something that no plastic surgeon on earth can give you. 1. Прочитайте текст и сопоставьте абзацы с их заголовками a.
