阅读理解Oneoftoday’shottesttopicsamongwom

阅读理解One of today’s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks, ranging from economical to highly priced.And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted(被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do, how precisely do they perform their miracles?Well, the appropriate response to that is that they do work—after a fashion. There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a paratively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers: they won’t actually undo skin damage or eradicate(根除) all signs of age; they will simply modify them, some more effectively than others.The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water, serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep, as it were, skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle(皱纹) cream.This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product. However, if you can afford it or think it’s worth the cost, it won’t be such an issue. After all, what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem(自尊) and sense of identity.A promise(折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In addition, it’s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best.So, to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits, depending on your objective.1.   This passage mainly tells us something about _____.A.anti aging creams                        B.anti aging foodsC.anti wrinkle face                         D.anti wrinkle skin2.   According to the author, we can infer _____.A.anti aging creams must reverse the signs of ageB.skin damage must not reappear after using creamsC.anti aging creams should be properly usedD.skin damage will disappear forever after using creams3.   The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that _____.A.they remove upper layers of dead skin cellsB.they make deeper layers absorb waterC.they make layers look fuller and healthierD.they make wrinkle faces rough4.   The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is _____.A.having a larger amount of moneyB.having a smaller amount of moneyC.having no money at allD.having a lot of money5.   Fairly heavy regular use will make you _____.A.spend much money on your choice of productB.easily afford your choice of productC.think your choice of product wrongD.believe your choice of product right
