Australian colour consultant(顾问)Kylie Bartnicki is talking with a group of women in Pudong, Shanghai, who are interested in how colours affect people's confidence and help form(形成)people's first impressions(印象).

    Kylie traces(追溯)back her interest in colours to when she went for her first job interview at age 18. "My mother bought me a new red top to wear to my interview and she said, "Wear this, and it will be lucky."' Kylie recalls. "I wore it, had a great interview and got the job. Ever since then I started thinking about how powerful the colour is, how it makes us look and how it makes us feel."

    "When we wear clothes in a good colour, the colour will make our skin, hair and eyes shine and we look happy and smart," Kylie says.

    Winter and summer are "cool colourings" and autumn and spring are "warm colourings". Someone who loves "cool colouring" might have red or golden hair, brown eyes and gold or yellow skin.

    Chinese women belong to the "autumn season" if they have darker, peachy skin. Chinese women belong to the "winter season" if they have pale skin. Kylie says that Chinese women who have dark eyes and dark hair will look best in deep, rich colours. Light pinks and blues should be  avoided because they may wash our Chinese skin tones(肤色).

    Their talk usually lasts one and a half to two hours and costs 600 yuan (89 dollars). Kylie says her customers(客户) are as young as five years old and as old as 90. The customers between their 30s and 50s always want some fresh ideas on developing their own personal style.

The bell for class rang. All the students took out their  1  , waiting for the teacher. Our Chinese teacher, Miss Liu, had told us before that we were going to write a composition 2  class.

A minute passed, and another,   3  the teacher didn't appear. We began to wonder what the matter with her was. Was she ill? Or had she forgotten about the class?    4  could tell. Soon some students began to study other subjects, some students began to talk and even made  5  .

About ten minutes later, the door opened and Miss Liu   6  came in, smiling. She didn't say sorry to the class. We felt   7  angry. The teacher often told us never to be late for class and said it was   8  manners to be late. She also said that if we were late, we should make an apology (道歉)   9  at once or after class. But now she was late and had kept the whole class waiting for such a long time and didn't even tell us the reason. It was unfair. At this moment, Miss Liu picked up a piece of chalk(粉笔) and     10     "Teacher IsLate" on the blackboard and said that was the topic of our composition today. All of us smiled and understood what the teacher meant.
