Peter Qwen has been making wigs (假发)since the 1980s . He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies ,including Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow and Nicole Kidman in The Others. One of his biggest jobs so far has designed the hair and makeup for the three Lord o f the Ring movies . He had just six weeks to design and make more than a hundred wigs, each one a different style, color, shape and length.

    The hair and makeup in a movie are just as important as the costumes or the sets. Over the years, Peter has made actors look older, younger, healthy and sick. For one movie he even made a female actor look like a man! "What people don't realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful," he says. "Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary."

    All Peter's wigs are handmade using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive -between US $ 4,500 and US $12,500 each! He knows he's done a good job when people don't realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed her hair dark brown for a movie. "It was a wig and no one knew that9" he said.

It was two days before Christmas, when my ten-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike.  Her bike was too   16  , and it needed repairing as well.

As Christmas   17  ,  her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, we thought, for she didn't say it again. We were busy   18  some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than   19  .

Now we didn't know   20  to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing   21  presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was   22  time to take to buy the "right hike" for our little girl. Thinking we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt sorry and   23  .

Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (mi) and writing a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully   24  with clay to make a small bike.

25  Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the   26  loudly. She looked at me and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real   27   ?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I would   28  trade in this beautiful bike   29  Daddy made me. I   30  keep it than get a real bike. This is the best Christmas present I have ever got in my life!"

I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
【小题1】Who wrote this passage?

If we want to deal with the association (交往) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.

   Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other . We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.

   Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have lunch in common , you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you can express yourself freely as others.

   Don’t fall into the mire of puppy love. The boys and girls at adolescence(青春期) are rich in feelings. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion , puppy love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe (成熟的). Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of puppy love.
