The first step for the accomplishment of every act is the attitude of the person who wants to do something with his life. If you are the type of person who is always optimistic and has faith in your strengths then half of the job is already taken care of.

It is quite difficult to change the way you think or how you perceive(发现) reality and all the things

around you. It is useless if your friends keep pushing you to see life in another way, to be always optimistic, to laugh more and always think at the “pink” version of things. You get annoyed by everybody giving you pieces of advice. It is only you who can decide to have this great change of personality. Not only will you see things from another perspective(角度) but life itself will come to be different, meaning more exciting and more interesting.

For me every age has its beauty and one should always know how to live to the full every aspect of it. When you are a child you spend all your time playing and you don’t have anything to worry about; as the years pass you become more concerned with whatever goes around you, with the problems you have to take care of. You should always keep your sense of humor and never forget to smile. Not only the smile makes you more beautiful but it also makes you see life with other eyes.

You only have one life and you have to live it to the full every day, as if it were the last day of your existence so as not to get the point in which you are sorry you didn’t know how to live.

For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no — that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat．One answer is, fashion stylist．

As more brands open stores in China to expand their reach, the increase in outdoor advertising might light a stylist spark in a girl's heart．Fashion magazine offices are crowded with interns （实习生）, and fashionable brand HR managers get thousands of resumes of people looking for a stylist position．

"It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai．"There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive．"

The attractiveness of this line of work is not only in the fabulous clothes．And it's not like it used to be: an insider's job with little recognition and even less money．Now it's a career with a profile, prospects and pay packet．

Girls can find it hard to ignore this tempt and the field is opening up to normal girls, not only style or fashion design majors．"A fashion designer knows how to make a dress pretty, but a stylist knows how to make a person beautiful, from head to toe," explained He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology．

"You have to be 'all-round': from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories（配饰） to the event," said He．"You have to know everything, and handle several things at the same time．It's challenging．That's why I love it．"

It's not, however, without its downside, no matter how great you may think it is, "It's incredibly hard work," said Chen Qianzhu, a stylist at the Chinese version of Elle magazine．"You need to build good relations with various people — stars, photographers, PR managers, other media, even airlines．"

You need to take care of clothes in the workplace and pay for even a tiny spot you get on them, Chen said．"The worst thing is that you might work extremely hard for a week on some serious photos, but if the chief's not satisfied, you do them all over again．"

1．A fashion stylist has to do the following EXCEPT _______．

       A．make every effort to dress up models

       B．make a model attractive, from hair to feet

       C．pay for a tiny stain happening to the clothes

       D．not to eat and keep a thin figure like a pencil

2．Xue Rui, He Qing and Chen Qianzhu are mentioned in the passage in order to ______．

       A．show the strengths and weaknesses of the new type of career

       B．compare the different changes about the occupation

       C．make the article interesting and convincing

       D．support an idea by giving enough evidence

3．The underlined world 'all-round' in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ______．

       A．all-star             B．all-out           C．all-powerful        D．all-purpose

4．Where can the passage be found?

       A．In a newspaper．                                 B．In a magazine．

       C．In an advertisement．                    D．In an essay written by a graduate．

People like different kinds of vacations. Some go camping. They swim, fish, cook over a fire and sleep outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahan or the Louver.
Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don’t want to be “tourists”. They want to have an adventure--a surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this? Some travel companies and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of hardships, but they’re a lot of fun. One organization, Earth watch, sends small groups of volunteers to different parts of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Others work with animals. Others learn about people of the past.
Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volunteers is leaving from Mormons, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He’s worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need ski sixteen kilometers every day.
Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphins can follow orders such as “Bring me the large ball.” They also understand opposites. How much more can they understand? It will be exciting to learn about these intelligent animals. Another study trip goes to Washington State and follows orcas. We call orcas “killer Whale”, but they’re really dolphins—the largest kind of dolphin. This beautiful animal travels together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earth watch is studying how this happens.
Are you interested in history? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there, on Santorum. This explosion was more terrible than Karate or Mount Saint Helens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people from that time. There are houses, kitchens, and paintings as interesting as those in Pompeii. Today teams of volunteers are learning more about people from the past.
Do you want a very different vacation? Do you want to travel far, work hard and learn a lot? Then an Earth watch vacation is for you.
