Part B [A] Analyzing your own taste
[B] Being cautious when experimenting
[C] Finding a model to follow
[D] Getting the final look absolutely right
[E] Learning to be realistic
[F] Making regular conscious choices
When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look.
And, of course it’s something that works both ways, for we too are being judged on our appearance.
When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner. People then pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us,
Undoubtedly, it's what's inside that's important, but sometimes
we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.
41___________
For example, people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else they’ve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics.
Stand in front of a fulllength mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see.
There is no need to dwell on your faults—we all have good points and bad points—but think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones.
42___________
When selecting your clothes each day, think about who you’re likely to meet, where you’re going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly,
some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity
and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all,
if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.
43___________
But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself.
What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favourite items that you wear a lot—most people wear 20 per cent of their wardrobe 80 per cent of the time.
Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in common.
Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you don’t wear and ask yourself why.
Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme?
44___________
Some colors bring your natural colouring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colours by all means,
but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones,
or vice versa, will make you feel selfconscious and uncomfortable.
You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. And although it’s good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades,
take care not to go too far all at once.
45___________
So, you’ve chosen an outfit that matches your style,
your personality, your shape and your colouring. But does it fit? If something is too tight or too loose,
you won’t achieve the desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it won’t improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes,
we buy things without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see,
or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. In all cases, if it doesn’t fit perfectly, don’t buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style.
Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are.
His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 per cent on how we look and behave,
38 per cent on how we speak and only 7 per cent on what we actually say.
So, whatever stage you are at in your life, whatever role you play, isn’t it time you made the most of yourself?

The best example of how associations influence eating is that we often eat not because we're hungry but because it's "lunchtime," because foods smell good, or because our friends are eating.
More evidence that associations influence eating comes from marketing and advertising pressures to sell foods by offering huge servings. For example, movie theaters offer an extra large box of popcorn(爆玉米花),which, at almost 900 calories, is equivalent to a major meal. Health professionals warn that as children, adolescents(青少年),and adults learn to prefer large portions and tasty foods high in fat,sugar,and calories,there has been a corresponding increase in rates of being overweight(from 25% in 1988 to 34% in 1998).Researchers are especially concerned about the continued rates of overweight and obesity(肥胖) in children since childhood obesity is very difficult to treat and an obese child has a high probability of becoming an obese adult with the associated health risks we discussed earlier.
Health professionals suggest that to avoid future increases in rates of overweight and obesity, we need to try hard to forget many of our food associations, which primarily involves decreasing size of food portions, increasing levels of activity to burn off excess calories.
26.The influence of food association can be seen clearly from the example that we often eat NOT
because________.
[A]it's time for lunch
[B]we're hungry
[C]foods smell delicious
[D]our friends are eating
27.From the passage we can infer that the "serving" in the second paragraph most
probably means________.
[A]an amount of food
[B]a special service
[C]a meal
[D]some calories
28.According to the author, because of an unhealthy food preference, the increase in rates of being
overweight was almost _____________ during the ten years from 198 to 1998.
[A]10 per cent [B]20 per cent
[C]30 per cent [D]40 per cent
29.According to the passage, an obese child is _____________.
[A]less at risk of heart diseases
[B]healthily fat
[C]very hard to get along with
[D]more likely to become an obese adult
30.In order to avoid future increases in rates of overweight and obesity, we need to do
a11 the following EXCEPT _____________.
[A1make an effort to forget our food association
[B]eat less high-fat food
[C]do more exercise to consume excess calories
[D]eat less food

This conclusion does not depend on the unrealistic assumption that we can (56) tobacco. It merely assumes that we can reduce cigarette sales appreciably by raising prices or by (57) the type of education that already appears to have had a (58) effect on cigarette consumption by white-collar workers, and that we can substantially reduce the amount of tar delivered per cigarette. The practicability of preventing cancer by such measures applies not only in those countries, (59) the US, where, because cigarette smoking has been common for decades, 25~30 per cent of all cancer deaths now involve lung cancer, but also in those where it has become (60) only recently. In China, for example, lung cancer (61) accounts for only about 510 per cent of all cancer deaths. This is because it may take as much as half a century (62) the rise in smoking to increase the incidence of lung cancer. Countries where cigarette smoking is only now becoming widespread can expect enormous increases in lung cancer during the 1990s or early in the next century, (63) prompt effective action is taken against the habit--indeed., such increases are already plainly evident in parts of (64) .
There are four reasons why the prevention of lung cancer is of such overwhelming importance: first, the disease is extremely common, causing more deaths than any other type of cancer now does; secondly, it is generally incurable; thirdly, effective, practicable measures to reduce its incidence are already reliably known; and, finally, (65) tobacco consumption will also have a substantial impact on many other diseases.
