I wonder if my make-up is ok. What will I say to him? Carefully, I stepped out of my car as my date made his way over to me.

“I’ve got you something,” he greeted me with a huge smile on his face. “Something every girl secretly longs for (渴望).” Standing in front of me, he slid something into my hand. I looked down to find candy — but not just any candy — A Sugar Daddy!

I relaxed immediately. This was the funny man I had been talking to. Little did he know, my secret longing was really to make a good impression on him.

A good first impression is important. So, how do you, when you’re meeting someone for the first time, make certain he or she doesn’t get the wrong image of you?

A study concluded that the first 30 seconds make or break the connection between two people when they meet for the first time. Another study conducted by UCLA found that “people evaluate one another by using the three V’s: visual (appearance), vocal (voice) and verbal (what you say).”

Before you head out on your next date to meet someone new, let’s concentrate on these areas:

●How others will see you. (Visual) Are you dressed well? Do you look like this date is important to you? Did you take some time with your appearance? Watch your manners: people don’t like bad manners.

●How others will hear you. (Vocal) Is your voice too soft? You might come across as insecure. If you speak softly, make an effort to speak clearly — don’t make your date have to work to hear you.

●What others will hear you say. (Verbal) People have a natural desire to connect — let them know you’re interested in what they have to say by repeating it back to them. Don’t say the same thing everyone else is saying.

1.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Good measures to communicate with others

B. How to make friends with others

C. How to enjoy yourself in your life

D. The importance of a good first impression

2.According to the text, when you want to make friends with someone, ______.

A. you should try to master the first few seconds

B. you should talk as much as possible

C. you should wear strange clothes to give him or her a deep impression

D. there is no need for you to treat it seriously

3.Which of the following belongs to the description of “Vocal”?

A. Dress yourself very well. B. Spend some time on your appearance.

C. Speak carefully and clearly. D. Repeat the same thing several times.

If you’re in your 20s or even 30s, you might feel a lot of uncertainty all the time. You may be not sure what your life purpose is.1.This is normal.

We all want to have a certain life purpose. We all want to feel we’re on the right path. We all want to perfect our habits, our routines, or our productivity. We all want to feel more certain, and perfect in what we’re doing.

There is a struggle between the comfort of certainty and perfection and the fear of uncertainty and being suboptimal(不最理想的).

Let me let you in on a secret: no one is free from this struggle. Look at the most successful people you can think of —Bill Gates, Obama, Taylor Swift. 2.Do you think they have certainty and a feeling of reaching perfection? Not a chance. There is not one of us alive, not me or anyone else, who ever feels certainty about their purpose or path. If they do, they’re fooling themselves. 3.

No one ever feels they’ve found the perfect productivity routine, the perfect version of themselves. 4.

We all feel uncertainty, all day, and we all struggle with it. Some people have grown more comfortable with it than others, but in general no one likes uncertainty.

5.That’s perfectly OK, perfectly normal. Don’t run from it. Instead, stay with this uncomfortable, unappealing uncertainty. It’s here in you, a part of this moment, a part of you but not the whole of you.

A.Because it doesn’t exist.

B.Do you think they have it all figured out?

C.This uncertainty you’re feeling is unpleasant.

D.But if they’re honest, they don’t feel that certainty.

E.See if you can tell what you’re being uncertain about.

F.So focus on what you actually have right in front of you.

G.You may be uncertain about what path you should take in life.

More than 10 years ago,it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝).The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and,more often than not,hard with an unpleasant taste within.Then in 1996,the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.

The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy?gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside.But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit?and?miss pineapples we had known.In no time,the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm,rapidly becoming the world’s best?selling pineapple variety,and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth,up until then only found in tinned pineapple.

In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too.This nice?tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C (维生素C) than the old green variety.Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins,but also good against some diseases.People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit.The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a_fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eaters.

Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple,Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself.But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples.Del Monte turned to law for help,but failed.Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.

Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful,there's a natural impulse to catch and own it—which means, in this day and age,that we can't help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.

Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.

These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.

He argued that humans have a born tendency(倾向)to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin's eyes, there's one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesn't matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.

Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only "artists" would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.

So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly(心不在焉地).When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.

1.What does the underlined word "impulse" mean?

A. Interest. B. Urge.

C. Habit. D. Reaction.

2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. An effective solution to storing something nice.

B. Reasons for taking pictures in the first place.

C. Problems related with taking photos.

D. Methods of storing pictures in phones.

3.It can be inferred that John Ruskin______.

A. lived at the origin of photography

B. lived at the origin of drawing

C. studied the history of photography

D. was an English literature critic

4.How did John Ruskin advise us to remember our travel?

A. By taking photographs.

B. By buying meaningful souvenirs.

C. By writing some travel notes.

D. By trying drawing what we see.
