its not about how much money you make, and its not about who your daddy is. and no, its definitely not about whether you look like tom cruise or his wife katie holmes . what it is about is these simple things, things that maybe even a person like tom cruise does not have.were talking about being attractive in general, whether its on a job interview or just gaining the respect of your colleagues.ask lots of questionsin other words, be humble. if you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!)， it really pushes people away. rather, asking lots and lots of questions (even dumb ones) makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted, and you are. humble.stay busydo you really know the power of this? were told to stay busy to prevent depression and feelings of anxiety. but did you know you should also stay busy to be really attractive? its true. always have something to do. have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? how unattractive. always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.show your pearly whites (or just smile)smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. im not kidding about this one. its not all about the teeth. if you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.be interested in other menbe interested in the other person. again, ask them questions. dont talk about yourself. remove attention from yourself. if you are truly interested in the person, it will come across. and if you want to talk about yourself, youll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. see how fun this is?so, yes it is possible to be the most attractive person in the world. if youve noticed the ring throughout the article, it has a lot to do with just being confident in who you are. nobody needs to look like tom cruise or will smith or their wives, or anyone else for that matter. every person, of every race, of every nationality, of every background, can be the most attractive person in the world.60. in the writers opinion, attractiveness is determined by a persons _.a. good

youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics. but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. this image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.the best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your success. that is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. dont allow doubts to occur in it. 56. you need to build a positive self-image when you _.a. dare to challenge yourselfb. feel it hard to change yourselfc. are unconfident of

for instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. but there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.we have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. however, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. they are close to one million nerve fibers(纤维) that connect the eyeball to the brain, so it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. but if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.72. if a child wears appropriate glasses, _.a. he will lose sightb. the structure of his eyes will be changed c. it is harmfuld. the structure of his eyes will keep the same

parts of the eye in a new persond. know almost nothing about eyes75. the author of the passage tends to _. a. explain wearing glasses is no harm to childrenb. correct peoples wrong beliefs about eyes c. explain the importance of protecting our eyesd. imagine what doctors can do with the eye in the future6.needa solid excuse to dust off your running shoes? joggers have been found to live an average
