Next time you hold a book in your hands， stop and think． Like most other things in the modern world， it is the result of thousands of years of human invention．

Five ways to make a great first impression（印象）!

Researchers have discovered that， in general， it only takes seven seconds for a person to start making judgments about you when they first meet you． That's why you should follow these useful tips on how to create a good first impression．

    （1）　　

    Before meeting someone， start thinking about the purpose of the meeting． Are you trying to impress them？ For example， if you want to make new friends at a social event， you will want to appear friendly． And if you decide to run for class president at your school， you will need to appear confident（自信）．

    （2）　　

    Smiling is the most important thing you can do when meeting someone new． It shows that you're friendly and makes people around you feel more comfortable． To have a winning smile， make sure your teeth are clean by brushing them every day．

    （3）　　

    Before you begin speaking， you will be judged on your body language． Therefore， it's important to show trust in yourself by standing up tall and putting your shoulders back． Besides， if you uncross your arms， you will appear relaxed and friendly．

    （4）　　

    How you smell can influence people's first impression of you． If you have a bad body smell， it will put people off． In short， aim to smell clean and avoid putting on a lot of scented products．

    （5）　　

    What you wear matters． While you should look clean and tidy， it's also important to dress properly， whether you're going to a birthday party or a sporting event． You should think about what your clothes say about you．

A．Smell good

B．Dress to impress

C．Get ready for a speech

D．A smile goes a long way

E．Be careful about your body language

F．Decide what image（形象）you want to present

There is a popular Chinese saying that "Fair skin（皮肤） will make up for three flaws（缺陷）"． This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture， it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful． In Western culture， however， the opposite is true ﹣ many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier． The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful． These cultural meanings of the beauty， however， are no longer important． As more and more people travel overseas， ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures． The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media． The result is an ever﹣changing idea of what is considered beautiful．

    The cultural practice of ear piercings， for example， has become a part of modern day culture．

In Kenya， it is a tradition among Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear

lobes（耳垂） longer using ivory and wood or stones． They then wear colorful things on their ear lobes． This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sigh of beauty． This tradition has now found its way into present﹣day culture． Nowadays， this might still seem unusual to some， but with more and more well﹣known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes， it will finally become more fashionable．

    It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty． However， since we now live in a worldwide society， people's views about beauty are always changing． With the help of the Internet， people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out． So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future？

（1）What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty　　？

A．The development of technology．

B．The popularity of the latest fashions．

C．The unchanged cultural traditions．

D．The world's growing population．

（2）What can be learned about the Masai people from the passage　　？

A．Longer ear lobes are their new fashion．

B．Only women make their ear lobes longer．

C．They think longer ear lobes look beautiful．

D．They make actors and film stars famous．

（3）The underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refers to　　．

A． people

B． ideas

C． cultures

D． fashions

（4）What is the passage mainly about　　？

A．People in Asian countries like fair skin better．

B．Beauty is considered important in many cultures．

C．Different cultures have different ideas about beauty．

D．People's ideas about beauty are changing all the time．
