Make Yourself More Attractive
As individuals, we judge just about everything on appearance. But we do not just see, we also feel. We have feelings that run deep. Sometimes our emotions run hot, at other times cold. Though, often, we do not feel until we see.
When we see someone who looks good, our heart beats fast. When we see an attractive meal, we feel hungry. When we see a picture of a loved one who has passed on, we may begin to feel sad or lonely. Our eyes are more than just a visual perception (视觉感知). They are the reflection of who we are.
There are many ways to improve our appearance. Smiling more is one of them. It will make less attractive people more pleasant. At the same time, smiling will make beautiful people appear to be more approachable. In addition to smiling, the less attractive should also work on achieving a more confident walk. People will be drawn to you because of the confidence that you show.
Do not take on the perceptions of others. Do not force yourself to become a product of how they see you. If you are extremely beautiful, do not be too proud. Be pleasant to all of those you come in contact with. Speak positive words to others. If you are less attractive, do not have any feelings of low self-esteem (自信).
Someone once said “it is beauty which captures (抓住) your attention; personality which captures your heart." Keep this in mind as you continue to perfect your outside. And remember that if you do not change your inside, all of your hard work will be in vain.
11. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about_______
A. the role of seeing
B. the importance of feeling
C. features of good appearance
D. various types of emotions
12. The words “passed on" (Line 3, Para. 2) probably means "_______”.
A. died
B. suffered
C. walked past
D. missed a chance
13. Smiling will make beautiful people_______
A. have more achievements
B. improve their work
C. become easier to approach
D. do better in their shows

A. keep their pride
B. get to know more people
C. get rid of low self-esteem
D. be modest
15. The last paragraph suggests that. _______
A. hard work makes perfect personality
B. beauty is in the eyes of the loved one
C. personality is more important than appearance
D. it's easier to improve the inside than the outside

Manage Your "High-tech" Family
➊ Modern family life is improved on many levels by numerous advances in technology. However, sometimes the high-tech tools designed to bring us closer together, such as smart phones and computers, can actually distance us from one another. If your family members are becoming increasingly disconnected (疏远) as a result, it may be time to establish some effective time-management rules.
❷ The family dinner table should be a tech-free zone. Make a firm rule that there will be no talking on phones, text-messaging or watching television during dinner time. That is the ideal opportunity for the family to reconnect after a busy day.
❸ The only way to ensure that family members, especially children, obtain adequate sleep, fresh air and exercise is to limit the amount of time they spend playing video games, surfing the web or text-messaging friends. A well-balanced, healthy life can only be achieved by monitoring time spent on using high-tech tools.
❹ For school-age children it might be wise to have rules regarding technology. To ensure that they are being mindful of their studies and getting adequate sleep on school nights, you might make a schedule banning video games except on weekends and banning exciting television programs immediately before bedtime. Children require help in keeping their lives in balance, especially in regard to addictive (使人上瘾的) games and television viewing.
❺ Monitor your own activities in regard to modern technology. If you are at the dinner table with a cell phone in your ear, or have one eye on the television, you cannot expect your children to behave otherwise.

Alaska is known (know) as a state that produces wild animals as well as kind-hearted people. The state is _41_ (fill) with wild beauty.
