Make Yourself More Attractive
As individuals, we judge just about everything on appearance. But we do not just see, we also feel. We have feelings that run deep. Sometimes our emotions run hot, at other times cold. Though, often, we do not feel until we see.
When we see someone who looks good, our heart beats fast. When we see an attractive meal, we feel hungry. When we see a picture of a loved one who has passed on. We may begin to feel sad or lonely. Our eyes are more than just a visual perception （视觉感知）They are the reflection of who we are.
There are many ways to improve our appearance. Smiling more is one of them. It will make less attractive people more pleasant. At the same time, smiling will make beautiful people appear to be more approachable. In addition to smiling, the less attractive should also work on achieving a more confident walk. People will be drawn to you because of the confidence that you show.
Do not take on the perceptions of others. Do not force yourself to become a product of how they see you. If you are extremely beautiful, do not be too proud. Be pleasant to all of those you come in contact with. Speak positive words to others. If you are less attractive, do not have any feelings of low self-esteem（自信）.
Someone once said “it is beauty which captures （抓住）your attention; personality which captures your heart.” Keep this in mind as you continue to perfect your outside. And remember that if you do not change your inside, all of your hard work will be in vain.

B. suffered
C. walked past
D. missed a chance

Manage Your “High-tech” Family
①Modem family life is improved on many levels by numerous advances in technology. However, sometimes the high-tech tools designed to bring us closer together, such as smart phones and computers, can actually distance us from one another. If your family members are becoming increasingly disconnected （疏远）as a result, it may be time to establish some effective time-management rules.
②The family dinner table should be a tech-free zone. Make a firm rule that there will be no talking on phones, text-messaging or watching television during dinner time. That is the ideal opportunity for the family to reconnect after a busy day.
③The only way to ensure that family members, especially children, obtain adequate sleep, fresh air and exercise is to limit the amount of time they spend playing video games, surfing the web or text-messaging friends. A well-balanced, healthy life can only be achieved by monitoring time spent on using high-tech tools.
④For school-age children it might be wise to have rules regarding technology. To ensure that they are being mindful of their studies and getting adequate sleep on school nights, you might make a schedule banning video games except on weekends and banning exciting television programs immediately before bedtime. Children require help in keeping their lives in balance, especially in regard to addictive （使人上瘾的）games and television viewing.
⑤Monitor your own activities in regard to modem technology. If you are at the dinner table with a cell phone in your ear, or have one eye on the television, you cannot expect your children to behave otherwise.
