4.In Europe,men do not usually wear skirts.But the Scottish national costume for men is a kind of skirt.It is called a kilt.The Scottish lie to be different.They are also proud of their country and its history and they feel that the kilt is part of that history.That's why the men still wear kilts at old-style dances and on national holiday.They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That is what they believe.However,kilts are not really so old.Before 1730,Scottish men wore a long skirt and blanket around their shoulders.These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories.So,in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into skirt-the kilt.That is how the first kilt was made.
Then,in the late1700s Scottish soldiers in the Br itish Army began to wear kilts.One reason for this was national sentiment.The Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers.The British Army probably had a different reason.A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find.The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous.The kilt was part that fame,and in the early 1800s men all around Scottish began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes going up and down and across.In the 1700s and early 1800s,the color o f the stripes had not special meaning.Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors.But later the colors became important to the Scottish families.By about 1850,most families had special colors for their kilts.For example,men form the Campbell family had kilts with green,yellow and blue stripes.Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history.In fact,each family just chose the colors they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland.Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families.Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

16.A person,like a commodity (商品),needs packaging.But going too far is absolutely undesirable.A little exaggeration,however,does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages.To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way,it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself.A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment(装饰),so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being,lively and lovely.
    A young person,especially a female,shining with beauty and full of life,has all the favor granted by God.Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating.Youth,however,comes and goes in a flash.Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years.If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work,you are unique in your natural qualities,and your attractiveness and grace will remain.Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains,mountains and jungles,running its course as it should.You have really lived your life,which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth.There is no need to make use of hair dyeing.The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland.Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony (和谐)with nature,for harmony itself is beauty,while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness.To be in the elder's company is like reading a thick book of deluxe(better quality)edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.
  As long as one find where one stands,one knows how to package oneself,just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.

13.When a baby is seven months old,he or she can already feel,hear,taste,smell and see.As a new mother,you should know that your child is ready to learn about the world from birth.
Touch.One of the most important ways of communicating a mother has with her baby is touch.Babies enjoy gentle touch and rhythmic(有节奏的) movement.While inside the mother,the baby is used to being rocked by the mother's movements.After birth,the same rocking movements comfort him or her.Crying babies often become quiet by being put close to the mother's body and gently rocked.Even the most common activities-feeding and bathing the baby,or walking with the baby in your arms-improve the baby's sense of touch and movement.
Smell and Taste.Even at birth,babies show that they can recognize different kinds of smells by avoiding unpleasant ones.They quickly learn to recognize familiar smells,especially their mothers'.Although their taste organs(器官) aren't completely developed,they can tell sweet from sour and much prefer the former.
Hearing.A baby listens to your voice,your heartbeat,breathing,and so on.When his or her head is pressed against your chest,those familiar sounds are comforting,and many babies fall asleep in this position.You may notice that high-pitched(高声的) voices are more pleasant to babies,so men should raise the pitch of their voices when speaking to them.As a baby gains more control over his or her head movements,it becomes clear that he or she can correctly identify(确认) the location of a sound source.Loud,sharp noises often upset babies,while soft,rhythmic sounds calm them down.Music boxes,toys that make pleasant sounds and soft music stimulate(激发) the babies'sense of hearing.

D.They would be upset by a toy that makes sharp noise.
