Dear John，

Thank you very much for your letter． I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me．We enjoyed having you and your sister here． We hope that you will both be able to come again next ear． Perhaps you'll be'able to stay longer next time you come． A week is not really long enough， is it? If your school has five weeks holiday next year， perhaps you'll be able to stay with us for two or three weeks．

We have been back at school for three weeks now． It feels like three months ! I expect that you are both working very hard now that you are in Grade Eight． I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade Eight． Tom and Ann won’t be in Grade Eight until 2011．

They went for a picnic yesterday， but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well． They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there． Do you still re’member the island? That's where all five of us spent the last day of our holiday．Tom， Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you． We hope to see you soon．

Yours sincerely，

Michael

You may not realize it，but you are doing much more than just studying，when you are at school． School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people． But this is not al-ways easy． What can you do if you just don-t like one of your classmates? If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容)． Tolerance is the ability(能/J ) to realize and respect(尊重) the differences in others． We can not change the way that other people do，so it is important to learn to live happily with them．

Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other． Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently． Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad． Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind ．

You need to remember an old saying，"Treat others how you want to be treated"． You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates，so it is important to treat them kindly too．

If you tolerate(宽容) something，it does not mean that you have to like it． No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in． Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change．

It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's lives easier． Learn to accept(接受) people for their different abilities and interests． The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help you make a difference．

Part B ［A］ Analyzing your own taste

［B］ Being cautious when experimenting

［C］ Finding a model to follow

［D］ Getting the final look absolutely right

［E］ Learning to be realistic

［F］ Making regular conscious choices

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 confidence 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 fulllength 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 of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly,

some outfits 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 colors 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 selfconscious 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 fit? 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 without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see,

or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. 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 selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’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?
