A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment(装饰), so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely. A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work you are unique in through plains, mountains and 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页，共 6 页jungles, running its course as it should.

Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony( 和谐) with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality) edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.

This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech and you re terrified.

Franklin lived in his own world, shutting out his classmates and me, his teacher. My attempts at establishing a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference(冷淡). Even a “Good Morning Willard”received only a very low grunt(咕哝). I could see that his classmates got on no better. Willard was completely a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his barrier of silence. Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district. “Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students.“There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We start the collection tomorrow. ”When I called for the contributions the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten, except for Willard P. Franklin. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked up to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two quarters into the small container. “I don t need any milk for lunch,” he said very quietly. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk. That night, after school, I took our meager contributions to the school principal. I couldn t help sharing the incident that had taken place. “I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him, ” I told the principal.“Yes, I believe it sounds hopeful,” he nodded.“And I think we might do well to have h im share a bit of his world with us.

Barbara Buchan performs many actions more slowly than others. But on September 10 in Beijing, Buchan, at 52, the oldest member of the United States Paralympics team, broke the record and won the gold medal for her disability class in the individual 3000-meter cycling pursuit. “You can be very upset at the world and have everyone take care of you,” Buchan said by telephone from Beijing, “or get back on your feel again. ”Buchan first dreamed of Olympic gold at age 15 while watching the 1972 Munich Games. She became a top American cyclist by July 1982, when a terrible road-race crash injured her brain and left doctors doubtful about whether she would survive. She was wearing only a soft leather helmet at the time; her accident made the rule put into practice that cyclists wear the hard-shell helmets that are now common. Buchan recovered enough of her athletic ability to run track in the 1988 Paralympics in Seoul, where she won a silver medal in the 800 meters. Women s cycling was not included in the Paralympics yet, so Buchan trained to the point where she raced against men in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australiashe finished 9th and 10th in two racesand then successfully fought for a separate women s cycling program beginning in 2004 in Athens, where she did not get a medal. Even though she was approaching her 50s, Buchan kept racing and again made the United States Paralympics team for Beijingwhere she is twice the age of most of her teammates and competitors. “Barbara s almost the leader of our teamshes been through it all,” said Craig Griffiu, the United States cycling coach. “Shes never retired. She s never let her body go and then come back. I don t think age is as big of a deal as people make it out to be.”48. According to the text, after the accident . A. doctors doubted whether Buchan could come back to life B. cyclists started to wear helmets in competition C. Buchan could not answer questions correctly D. Buch
