Whether it's work or fun, themost important thing is lightingIf you get bad lighting, you will look bad, tooKnow where thelight isYou don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at youThe key thing is no shadowIf you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passedAlso don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out all the pictures are taken by great photographersAnd all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺） taken out by computersTip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is differentSo you have to learn what suits youYou can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your faceTip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with thecameraNo one can look bad if they smileFor long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot lookingup your bodyFor just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angleAnd your legswill look thinner and be in better shapeKeep shoulders backAlways have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this willmake your lips look fullerLower your eyes and then look up just as shutter （快门） is clicked for full eyesDelete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days56If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be _Abelow you Babove youCdirectly at you Dright behind you57According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT _Alight BshadowCangles Dphotographers58What advice does the author give on taking photos?ARaise legs on the wallBLook downCKeep shoulders backDPut a penny between lipsBThroughout my 41 years at General Electric, I've experienced a lotIn the media, I've gonefrom prince to pig and back againAnd I've been called many thingsIn the early days, some called me a crazy, wild manWhen I became CEO two decadesago, Wall Street asked, "Jack who?"When I tried to make GE more competitive by cutting back our workforce in the early 1980s,the media called me "Neutron Jack" When they learned we were focused on values and culture atGE, people asked if "Jack has gone soft" I've been No1 or No2 Jack, Services Jack, GlobalJack, and, in more recent yearsSix Sigma Jack and e-Business JackWhen we made an effort to acquire Honeywell in October 2000, and I agreed to stay onthrough the transition （过渡期） , some thought of me as the Long-in-the-Tooth Jack hanging onby his fingertips to his CEO jobThose characterizations said less about me and a lot more about the stage our company wentthroughTruth is, down deep, I've never really changed much from the boy my mother raised inSalem, MassachusettsWhen I started on this journey in 1981 , standing before Wall Street analysts for the first timeat New York's PierreHotel, I said I wanted GE to become " the most competitive enterprise onearth" My objective was to put a small-company spirit in a big-company body, to build anorganization out of an old-line industrial company that would be more high-spirited, moreadaptable, and more flexible than companies that are one-fiftieth our sizeI said then that Iwanted to create a company " where people dare to try new things ?where people know that onlythe limits of their creativity and drive, their own standards of personal excellence, will be theceiling on how far and how fast they move"I've put my mind, my heart, and my courage into that journey every day of the 40-plus yearsI've been lucky enough to be a part of GE59According to the first two paragraphs, the author _Ahad many ups and downsBhad a poor image in publicCbecame CEO of GE 41 years agoDsuffered from some mental illnesses60As the author sees it, the many nicknames of him indicate _Athe change of his character with the timeBthe various opinions of different journalistsChis company's different stages of developmentDhis popularity among his friends and relatives61According to the author, GE in 1981 _Ashould seek broader space for developmentBwas the most competitive company in the worldCdiffered from many old-line industrial companiesDwas a big company with a small-company's spirit62What does the underlined word "journey" in the last paragraph probably mean?ATaking GE to a new heightBTravelling from home to officeCSeeking a higher position in GEDGrowing from a baby into an adultCCollege students constantly hear the praises of educationWe have all become used tobelieving that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier lifeI was nine years oldwhen my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted inmy lifeI filled my paper with things like: own a big house and have servants; be rich and havea good jobThe next day my teacher handed back my paper and in red ink she wrote: " GO TOCOLLEGE" For a long time, I was convinced that once I obtained an education, BAM! Lifewould be easierHowever, education cannot promise all wishes, dreams, and desiresSociety must rejectthe foolish idea that a college education's main purpose is to satisfy our desires and secure successLike most challenging things, education is a gamble （赌博） in which results depend entirely onpeople's ability to look past their wants to see the realism and reason behind their wantsFor instance, my first year of college, I took a sociology classIn class, we were taughtthat Third World countries were poorWe learned that our quality of life would be almostimpossible for an average person in those countriesI began to examine my own desire to be richTo always go after money felt selfish when knowing others had none at allLearning about othersociety's financial situations forced me to look beyond what I wantedThrough the process of education, everything once desired is testedWanting something nolonger is enough; it's more important to examine why we want it and whether we really want itWhen my desire for money changed, everything changedI stopped longing for money-drivencareers and stopped valuing the people who had themI began to examine the things I purchasedand my reason for wanting themEducation is a tool to be used to develop and advance our desires, so we can discover thethings that are truly significant in lifeEducation is a source to expand our society to see beyondthe superficial （表面的） appeals and the "quick fixes" , leaving the belief of an effortless lifebehind in order to desire a meaningful one63The author's fourth-grade teacher probably agreed that _Athe author was an ambitious studentBthe author should set more realistic goalsCa college student would lead an easier lifeDa college degree was the key to the author's dreams64Why does the author mention her sociology class?ATo share her learning experiences with readersBTo support her new understanding about educationCTo express her sympathy for people in Third WorldDTo stress the importance of taking a sociology course65With a college education, the author _Aenvied rich peopleBlost interest in careerCdesired more material thingsDstopped always seeking more wealth66What's the main idea of the passage?ACollege educat
