Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who reinforced my understanding of the power of belief. She was   36  the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie   37  in California.
Our class had already been going for quite some time when   38 , supported by metal crutches(拐杖),   39   herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy(大脑性麻痹). She had many   40  in communicating with others. This was not due to   41  of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to   42  her. No one had taken the time to assist her in developing the ability to   43 . It was Bonnie, her current caretaker, who   44  there was much more to Chris than anyone else gave her credit for.
When asked by the instructor what her goal   45  the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and   46  in the process. For most of her   47 nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to   48  was through temper outbursts. With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her   49  was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and   50  with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever   51 . Though as a girl who had in many ways been   52 , she believed that she could __53__ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been   54  strangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is   55  moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.

There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in theclothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally, a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness.
This type of American culture is gradually changing as man’s dress takes on greater variety  and color.Even as early as 1955,a research in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important.White—collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss.Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of  dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed,the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,while the blue-collar may be wearing a white shirt,but the importance of dress has not become less. Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.
