But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart and concern for others.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one's heart and looks.

A.Women are born to be beauties.
B.Women like to show off their beauties
C.Women are proud of their beauty
D.Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up

Advice on Public Speaking Building confidence (信心)
Faith in yourself, your topic and your healthy mind is a must if you are to be a better publicspeaker. Many speakers are not prepared and lose confidence because of that. But others lack confidencebecause they are afraid of being judged--and possibly made fun of--just like they were in high schoolspeech class. Build your confidence by using all your tools and knowing that you are excellent.
Knowing what&39;s up
You have to know your topic inside and out. Nothing kills your speech like "um" and "uh" in every sentence. Research your subject to the point where you are an expert. And that&39;s half the battle.
Practicing
Researching and knowing your topic is one thing, but actually delivering that information isanother. Practicing your speech in advance is a must. You will find your beats and your direction,through hours in front of the mirror practicing. So when you climb up on stage, it will be like riding ahike,unless you don&39;t know how to ride a bike.
Dressing properly
You will want to dress properly for the occasion(场合)--which could be a suit or simply ajacket. Make sure it also has the comfort you need. If the clothes are not comfortable, you may notpay full attention to your speech.
Making connections
Make a personal connection with someone in the audience (听众). It might be someone youknow that you can call out to, or someone in the front row you can speak directly to. Maybe yourspeech leads you to ask them a question, which is an easy way for you to take yourself from the stageand place yourself as one of your audience. It also takes the pressure off. What does "that’s half the battle" mean in the text?
A.You have already won the battle

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?
