Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind;
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, "Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional．network． You don't need to dress like you're going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together．"
Lo go mania（品牌熱癥）: Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at．It's tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands．But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style．Instead of wearing logos head to toe, "walking advertisement"-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses．Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising． Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear; As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level．So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them．Sure, kittens might be cute, but they're not doing you any favors in the style department．Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

It’s hard not to feel cheated and over-charged when you receive unexpected roaming (漫游) charges while traveling abroad—whether they come from making phone calls or checking e-mails.
Jeff Gardner received an $ 11,000 bill from Verizon after spending four days in Jamaica. Before the trip, Mr. Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what it would cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said he was told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he was on an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.
“I don’t mind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days is ridiculous,” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on the trip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didn’t go through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes (千字節(jié)) of data was delivered while he was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.
As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at home—to check e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online maps—many are facing costly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outside their service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companies to send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their plan’s limit, when they have reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.
小題1:Why did Jeff Gardner call Verizon before his trip to Jamaica?
A．To hand over his business.
B．To check his cellphone bill
C．To find out information about Jamaica.
D．To find out information about roaming charges.
小題2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Extra charges were made for Jeff Gardner’s data delivery.
B．Jeff Gardner’s calls were charged over $2 per minute.
C．Jeff Gardner’s plan turned out to be limited.
D．Jeff Gardner had difficulty delivering data abroad.
小題3:During the trip, Jeff Gardner______.
A．was careless with phone use
B．delivered no more data than at home
C．received quite poor e-mail services
D．frequently used his wireless card to send e-mails
小題4:What should wireless companies do according to the Federal Communications Commission?
A．Make customers know when they’re outside their service area.
B．Get customers informed when they’re near the limit of their plan.
C．Stop serving customers when they’ve reached their plan’s limit.
D．Limit some services to reduce the amount of roaming charges abroad.

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁爐架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.
It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love --- one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate（熱情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.
But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.
“Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came: S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.
小題1:According to the passage, where may the word “shmily” be found?
a.in the flour containers
b.on the mirror
c.on the sheet of toilet paper
d.on pillows
e.on the furniture
A．a(chǎn), bB．b, cC．a(chǎn), dD．b, e
小題2:The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
A．what the word “shmily” means
B．how the author’s grandparents played their special game
C．how the author appreciated her grandparents’ game
D．how the author’s grandparents cared for each other
小題3:The underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A．a(chǎn)ppearB．changeC．surviveD．work
小題4:According to the passage, the author _________.
A．thought the game was meaningless
B．believes everyone can experience true love
C．doubted the existence of true love at first
D．sometimes left “shmily” around the house
小題5:Grandpa tried to make Grandma comfortable by _______.
A．singing songs to her every day
B．painting the room yellow
C．encouraging her to go outside
D．helping her take a hot shower every day

Our interpersonal skills have a great effect on success in our daily lives. This appears not only in the workplace where we can make more money or enjoy our job more, but also shows itself in marriage, raising a family and the ability to reach goals in almost every area of life. Interpersonal skills come into play when our flight is cancelled and we need to make other arrangements. They come into play when a marriage is threatened by financial challenges or infidelity(不忠).
Our communication skills even matter when we are in traffic and we need to make a decision about how to respond to other drivers. Communicating with others becomes inseparable from having a good day, or a bad day not only in how we begin communication, but in how we react to the communications of others who are having a difficult time.
It can make a difference in saving a marriage or getting a divorce, celebrating a rise or getting fired, and even having your eggs cooked as the way you like at the local restaurant. Many wise men and women have stressed the importance of dealing with others in a skillful manner.
Getting feedback(反饋意見) from others can be of great value in improving our interpersonal communication skills. Often, however, others are not skilled at giving feedback. When we get negative results, they rarely include the details we need in order to improve our interpersonal skills.
Since life improves so much with greater communication skills, getting feedback and an opportunity to improve would be not only life-saving for pilots, but labor-saving for the rest of us. Contact Alice Aspen March for a free consultation today and see how you might improve your communication skills, or learn more about The Attention Factor.

A．The education we receive.B．The skills of making a decision.

A．Just to call our attention
B．To tell us the importance of communication skills.
C．To lead us to think of a sad scene
D．To help us not to forget traffic is very important.
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．Getting feedback from others can be valueless in improving our interpersonal skills.

Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”
As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles.
We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.
The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives.
As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.
What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make you own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Confucius thought we should learn from strengths of others.
B．Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn.
C．It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves.
D．Reflecting upon other people’s strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes.
小題2:The underlined part “this type of learning” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to_______.
A．learning from other people’s mistakes
B．learning from others’ experiences
C．finding what strengths and shortcomings other people have
D．reflecting others’ strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves
小題3:From the fifth paragraph, we learn that _______.
A．sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendship
B．our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakes
C．some reflection will help to improve ourselves
D．reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life
小題4:The passage is probably taken from __________.
A．a(chǎn) magazine about lifeB．a(chǎn) book about travel
C．a(chǎn)n advertisementD．a(chǎn) research report
小題5:What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．How to improve oneself.
B．How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves.
C．How to reduce the mistakes in one’s life.

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
小題1:Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?
A．Cheerful.B．Nervous.C．Satisfied.D．Upset.
小題2:What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A．The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B．The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
C．The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
D．The laughing assistant of the dentist.
小題3:Why did the author suddenly smile?
A．Because the dentist came at last.
B．Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C．Because she could relax in the chair.
D．Because the assistant kept comforting her.
小題4:What did the author learn from her experience most probably?
A．Strike while the iron is hot.
B．Have a good word for one’s friend.
C．Put oneself in other’s shoes.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
