You surely want to take a good school yearbook photo, for you only get to do it once, and it’s what people remember you by for the whole school year. Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips.

1. Practice smiling in a mirror. It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera does need a little preparation. Don’t be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera —hold your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile. Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face.

2. Choose your color wisely. In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker colors because they draw attention to the face. Generally, white often isn’t the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if you’re pale. Besides, stay away from super(超級的)-bright colors ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless you’re really sure they make you look perfect.

3. Avoid unnecessary details. Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile. Save them for your everyday fashion experiments. Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken. The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that it’s in the laundry.

4. Avoid big changes to your appearance. Big changes may not turn out the way you hope. Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳頭) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken. Don’t overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the "less is more" approach.

1.The best title of this passage is ______.

A. How to Make Yourself Look Good

B. How to Do When Taking a School Photo

C. How to Get Ready for Your School Photo-taking

D. How to Make a Good School Photo Book

2.A bright yellow shirt is not a good choice for taking photos because _______.

A. it reflects light with the brightness

B. it makes people look gray and pale

C. it draws more attention than the face

D. it suits nobody in front of a camera

3.The underlined part "less is more" in the last paragraph means _______.

A. common hair style is more attractive than the over-done

B. simple hair style makes your face more attractive

C. spending less time on hair makes you look more attractive

D. combing the hair up right costs less time but means more

4.During the preparation for photo-taking ______.

A. a camera is needed

B. clothes should be in the laundry

C. fashion should be perfectly showed

D. big changes are not needed

Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.

The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.

Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text. “If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.

More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms. They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk for reading problems later. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR--- Sit Together and Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.

There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print--- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.

1.What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught?

A. Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.

B. Teachers prefer to talk about the organization of the print.

C. Parents focus on bringing children up to be good readers.

D. More attention is paid to the pictures, with words and letters being ignored.

2. What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?

A. Use different methods according to the students’ difference in reading skills.

B. Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.

C. Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.

D. Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.

3.What put more than three hundred children at risk for reading problems?

A. They were poor and lacked language skills.

B. They were four and five.

C. They were forced to leave school.

D. They were observed.

4.Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?

A. Project STAR aims to find the results of reading to pre-school children in the classrooms.

B. Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.

C. Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.

D. Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.

5.Adults can talk to children about print in the following ways except________.

A. Discussing the meaning of the print.

B. Showing them all kinds of pictures.

C. Talking about the organization of the print.

D. Tracing the shape of a letter with a finger.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict," he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday." "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing," said business consultant Maisly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said.

"For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."

1.David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict" because _____.

A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance

C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

D. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes

2.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _____.

A. they make him feel at ease when working

B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes

C. he looks handsome in casual clothes

D. he no longer works for any company

3.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT _____.

A. saving employees' money

B. making employees more attractive

C. improving employees' motivation

D. making employees happier
