Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially womens hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. Whats more, people now consider many different features (特点) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, its important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For example, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?24. What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. good B. strange C. poor D. different25. According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive?A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.B. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.C. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.26. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.B. Hats can help you look better in public.C. Hats are not as important as character.D. Hats can make you look much taller.27. What is the best title for the article?A. How to Show Your Social Position B. How to Improve Your FeaturesC. How to Choose a Proper Hat D. How to Design a Nice HatCIs there anything more important than health? I dont think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.”28.

From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smoker B.didnt smoke so muchC. didnt smoke D. began to learn to smokeDI had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving.I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated (移民) to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed.The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to arrange (安排) an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a weeks training, he was employed and was happy with his position.I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so. I appreciate being able to live in Australia and believe that this appreciation is best proved by offer acts of kindness to people in need of help.

Also, try not to be late for class. Its most likely that your teacher wont appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.39 If you have an “I dont care about school or this class attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit.
