When we meet people for the first time,we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look.And,of course it's something that works both ways,for we too are being judged on our appearance.When we look good,we feel good,which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner.People then pick up on this confldence and respond positively towards us.Undoubtedly,it's what's inside that's important,but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.41.For example,people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else they've seen in a magazine,but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics.Stand in front of a full-length mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see.There is no need to dwell on your faults-we all have good points and bad points-but think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones.42.When selecting your clothes each day,think about who you're likely to meet,where you're going to be spending most ofyour time and what tasks you are likely to perform.Clearly,some ouffits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent.However,there's no need to abandon your individual taste completely.After all,if you dress to please somebody else's idea of what looks good,you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.43.But to know your own mind,you have to get to know yourself.What do you truly feel good in?There are probably a few favourite items that you wear a lot-most people wear 20 per cent of their wardrobe 80 per cent of the time.Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in common.Are they neat and tidy,loose and flowing?Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you don't wear and ask yourself why.Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye.Is there a common theme?44.Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance Try out new colours by all means.but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones,or vice versa,will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable.You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie.And although it's good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades,take care not to go too far all at once.45.So.you've chosen an outfit that matches your style,your personality,your shape and your colouring.But does it fifl If something is too tight or too loose,you won't achieve the desired effect,and no matter what other qualities it has,it won't improve your appearance or your confidence.Sometimes,we buy things wiihout ihinking.Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see,or prefer to use mail-order or the Internct.In all cases,if it doesn't fit perfectly,don't buy it,because the finer details are just as important as the overall style.Reappraising your image isn't selflsh because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit.You'II look better and you'II feel a better person all round.And if in doubt,you only need to read Professor Albert Mchrabian's book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are.His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 per cent on how we look and behave.38 per cent on how we speak and only 7 per cent on what we actually say.So,whatever stage you are at in your life,whatever role you play,isn't it time you made the most of yourself?42选？A.Analyzing your own tasteB.Being cautious when experimentingC.Finding a model to followD.Getting the final look absolutely rightE.Learning to be realisticF.Making regular conscious choicesG.How to judge people

共用题干第二篇People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health."People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."When you try to calm yourself,you are actually trying to_________.A:recall things you loveB:show you are angryC:relieve your stressD:breathe normally
