Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Keys: (1)families (2)chemicals (3)information (4) certain symptoms(5)self-esteem (6)thinking patterns (7)mood (8)divorce (9)physical abuse (10)financial difficulties (11)stress (12)anxietyTask 3 happiness indexAustralians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market researchers. They conducteddoor-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expressed optimism about their future. Following them in the "very happy" group was theUSA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "very unhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.翻译:根据一项由两家市场研究人员进行的调查显示,澳大利亚人是世界上最幸福的人。

He’s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5)uneventfully、 But one afternoon, a local cowhand es running through town (S6) yelling,“Big John is ing!

D on’t you hear Big John is ing?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr、 Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness、 According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance、 And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling、To illustrate this, we may study two magnets、 When their positive and negative poles meet, they are fortably joined, and they remain there、 In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness、 If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness、A nimals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement、 Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals、 This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness、According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness、 But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple shortterm action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on、 Thus lea r ning can occur with almost no conscious thought、For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limit ed to the shortterm satisfaction of needs、 Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of longterm goals、 Even if human strive for goals that are more plex and longerterm than the animals’goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced、1、Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2、According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food?3、Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4、What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings?5、Which of the following best captures the main idea of the passage?

there is evidence that this disorder may run in families、Physiology is another factor related to depression、 There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters、 Many mode rn antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain munication、While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression、Researchers also study psychological factors、They include the plex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress、 It is freeqently observed that low self esteem and selfdefeating thinking are connected with depression、While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and selfesteem、Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences、 Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and sever e physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life、Some present experiences may also lead to depression、Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression、 Longterm stress at home, work, or school can also be involved、It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibilityVI、Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”、 Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions、 Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason、However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion、 Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact、 The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world、 Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called“the heat of passion”、 The relation logic and emotion merits careful study、 Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason、This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an allornothing rejection or acceptance、 In suchareas of thought, human beings have to adopt a prehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion、Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure”decision or thought; that is, no thought is based“purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both、1、What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2、What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3、What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4、According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5、 What is the speaker’s conclusion?K eys: 1、A 2、B 3、C 4、C 5、DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed、 Are you feeling blue? I’ve e to cheer you up、Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up、 I’m down in the dumps、Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things、Ted: But I can’t、 I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down、Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time、 What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is ing, I get bored、Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard、 If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades、 You see, “no pain, no gain”、Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored、Pat: You have to learn some selfdiscipline、B u t how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache、 ThenI start to worry about passing the next exam、Pat: It’s all in your mind、 If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK、Ted: B u t how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things、Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining、 It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides、So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play、Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed、K eys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control、 Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner、 In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run、 Somechoose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run、 Some may think running means you are a coward、But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger、 It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over、There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation、 First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act、 Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed、At that moment you should admit you are angry、 If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way、 You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up、 Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage、 If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,“What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution、News ReportU、S、 Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles、After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X”riders are first to a height of over 66meters、 At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour、The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train、 This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride、Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loop s, and dives、The plicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips、Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s ing up next, the element of surprise is high、 For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride、The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters、 The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meterslong, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time、At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour、The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives、Uint2II、 Basic Listening Practice3、ScriptW: Did you hear?

In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,”said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10)V oice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.T ask3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year.

She was just one of many competitors who were determined to improve their appearance through surgery. “Plastic surgery make me more beautiful and gave me confidence in myself and the perfect measurement that won me this title,” said the beauty queen in a green dress, who was representing Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul.Borges, 22, had liposuction and had her chin, nose, and ears worked on, as well as, had her breasts enlarged.With the development of plastic surgery, more and more of Brazil’s would-be beauty queen are finding it easier to achieve the ideal measurements. These days, younghopefuls from the Amazon jungle to big cities in Brazil’s south are planning surgery.A third of the 27 finalists at the beauty contest went under the scalpel after rules were changed in the 1990s.The new rules permit plastic surgery, colored contact lenses, and hair dye at beauty contests.The organizers of the Miss Brazil contest said, “It’s a war out there, and all of the beauty tools that can be used should be used. Other countries like V enezuela paved the way, and Brazil is going to have to use those tools as well if it wants to compete in M iss University beauty contests.”But Brazil’s love for plastic surgery is not limited to beauty contests.

John: Do I detect a hint of jealousy?Becky: She has nothing for me to be jealous about.John: I’ll be you believe in those saying like: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Becky: True beauty comes from within. Natural materials should be enough to bring it out.John: But do you always stick to those rules? When I went past your apartment last night, I saw you in the kitchen with some green substance smeared all your face.Becky: They were cucumbers. They’re natural healers of the skin.

At least they’ll keep thatbald spot from shining so brightly..Keys: FTFTFT ask3: Changing Your Hairstyle to Improve Your AppearanceScriptIf you want to look better, changing your hairstyle can be a simple fix. If you’re trying to reach a weight-loss goal, a new hairstyle is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence.According to a popular hair stylist, clients often say, “I want to cut my hair, but I should lose weight first.”But that’s not the right sequence; it’s the other way around. Y ou should know what hairstyle will flatter you the most, the style that will show off you particular feature to the best advantage even before you begin to lose weight.For example, many may want to follow a tread and wear long hair. But some may look better with shorter hair if they have a round face. “When it’s too long, it can drag your face down and actually bring attention to the features you don’t want to emphasize,” says Guy Riggio, a famous hair stylist in Los Angeles. How short is too short? That depends the length of your neck. Riggio says, “The longer the neck, the shorter you can go.”Some top stylists believe that women should stay clear of bangs. Thick bangs may be fashionable at times, but even thin bangs are hard to wear. “They change the shape of your face, making it seem shorter,” says New Y ork hair stylist O’Connor. Instead, you should pull your hair away from your face. It will make your face look longer. Finally, pick a stylist who’s knowledgeable and whose opinion can be trusted. Then have fun with the new style.For Reference:1. It is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence2.

After the first round of judging, the original group of 92 contestants was pared down to only tenfinalists who would go on to compete for the title.The second-runner up in this ten year’s pageant was Miss Scotland, 18-year-old Juliet-Jane Horne.[SOUND BITE]The People’s Republic of China was represented for the first time this year by 18-year-od Bing Li.[SOUND BITE]The title of first runner up went to Miss Aruba, 19-year-old Zerelda Lee.[SOUND BITE]The competition was fierce as each of the ten finalists took her turn in the spotlight in front of a live audience.But out of the 92 contestants, it was Miss Nigeria, 18-year-old Agbani Darego, who took home covered title and the $100,000 prize.[SOUND BITE]Before being crowed, Darego took the victory walk wearing a lime-green, body hugging dress and waved to a cheering crowd.The news of her victory sparked rapturous celebrations all over Nigeria’s biggest city, Lagos.。

Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Reason and EmotionScriptK eys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionK eys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,“What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles. After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X”riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loop s, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X”riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity,the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctor s also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10)Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women’s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons.Men’s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women’s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery. By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons.The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck.By comparison, in the previous year, women’s use of botox rose 60 percent while men’s fell 14 percent; women’s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men’s fell 19 percent; women’s use of fat injections fell17 percent and men’s fell 54 percent.6.

Amy: Darned right I would! I don’t expect my skin to be baby-smooth, butI should at least be young-looking.Susan: Isn’t makeup enough?Amy:Come on, Susan. Be open-minded! Look at my eyes!

Most employers are more interested in your practical ability than your looks.V. Let’s TalkScriptG reetings, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you’ll find it interesting how to be fashionable without spending too much money.Sure, some famous stars always look stylish. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobes. Simple try the following suggestions on for size.First, you should make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, ad summer dress at the end of the season. You’ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year. If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they’re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have a store brand. It means they offer current styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.To save money, an important principle for you to follow is to not buy “outfits”. With the exception of suits, interchangeable piece are more affordable—buying clothing in separate.Wear-with- anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress skirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories. If you can’t afford expensive clothes, you can spend money on accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags. Such extras make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When you hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Beauty Contests and Plastic SurgeriesScriptJuliana Borges, who was named “Miss Brazil”early on Tuesday, had plastic surgery four times and underwent 19 smaller operations. She was just one of many competitors who were determined to improve their appearance through surgery.“Plastic surgery make me more beautiful and gave me confidence in myself and the perfect measurement that won me this title,”said the beauty queen in a green dress, who was representing Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul.Borges, 22, had liposuction and had her chin, nose, and ears worked on, as well as, had her breasts enlarged.With the development of plastic surgery, more and more of Brazil’s would-be beauty queen are finding it easier to achieve the ideal measurements. These days, young hopefuls from the Amazon jungle to big cities in Brazil’s south are planning surgery.A third of the 27 finalists at the beauty contest went under the scalpel after rules were changed in the 1990s.The new rules permit plastic surgery, colored contact lenses, and hair dye at beauty contests.The organizers of the Miss Brazil contest said, “It’s a war out there, and all of the beauty tools that can be used should be used. Other countrieslike Venezuela paved the way, and Brazil is going to have to use those tools as well if it wants to com pete in Miss University beauty contests.”But Brazil’s love for plastic surgery is not limited to beauty contests. Most young women who undergo surgery want to find a better man or a higher-paying job.5. How many surgical operations did the former Miss Brazil have altogether?6. What change has plastic surgery brought, according to the passage?7. Which of the following is allowed after the rules changed in the1990s??4.

Her lips are a perfect Cupid’s bow.She must have dozens of admirers.Becky: I wonder what she looks like without all makeup. She must out it with a spoon. It’s like a mask. I don’t understand what men find so attractive about her.John: Do I detect a hint of jealousy?Becky: She has nothing for me to be jealous about.John: I’ll be you believe in those saying like: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Becky: True beauty comes from within. Natural materials should be enough to bring it out.John: But do you always stick to those rules? When I went past your apartment last night, I saw you in the kitchen with some green substance smeared all your face.Becky: They were cucumbers. They’re natural healers of the skin. Haven’t you heard people say on TV that they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness, and build strength and resilience?John: Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah! See, I can even recite that advertisement.Becky: You’ve learned a lot, haven’t you?John: Since you can keep your skin so young-looking and maintain your figure so well, you might as well as write a book on beauty secrets. Becky: Don’t pull my leg. Anyway, you’d do well to try the cucumber treatment on yourself. Put some cucumber slice on your head. Atleast the y’ll keep that bald spot from shining so brightly..K eys: FTFTFTask3: Changing Your Hairstyle to Improve Your AppearanceScriptIf you want to look better, changing your hairstyle can be a simple fix. If you’re trying to reach a weight-loss goal, a new hairstyle is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence. According to a popular hair stylist, clients often say, “I want to cut my hair, but I should lose weight first.”But that’s not the right sequence; it’s the other way around. You should know what hairstyle will flatter you the most, the style that will show off you particular feature to the best advantage even before you begin to lose weight.For example, many may want to follow a tread and wear long hair. But some may look better with shorter hair if they have a round face. “When it’s too long, it can drag your face down and actually bring attention to the features you don’t want to emphasize,” says Guy Riggio, a famous hair stylist in Los Angeles. How short is too short? That depends the length of your neck. Riggio says, “The longer the neck, the shorter you can go.”Some top stylists believe that women should stay clear of bangs. Thick bangs may be fashionable at times, but even thin bangs are hard to wear. “They change the shape of your face, making it seem shorter,” says New York hair stylist O’Connor. Instead, you should pull your hair away from your face. It will make your face look longer.Finally, pick a stylist who’s knowledge able and whose opinion can be trusted. Then have fun with the new style.For Reference:1. It is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence2.

The event was hosted by American talk show host, Jerry Springer, at a glitzy resort in the heart of South Africa’s bush country.[SOUND BITE]The pageant was created in 1951 by a public relations executive for a small leisure and entertainment company. It was initially intended to be only a one-time event, but was continued after the United States began the rival Miss Universe contest in 1952.In more than half a century, there have been only three Miss World winners from Africa, two of them white South Africa and the third from Egypt. Miss World has until now been dominated by winner from Europe, the Americas, and India, the majority of them being Caucasian.The contestants in this pageant are judges in three different categories: beauty, grace, and charm; talent, poise, and personally; and figure and deportment. After the first round of judging, the original group of 92contestants was pared down to only ten finalists who would go on to compete for the title.The second-runner up in this ten year’s pageant was Miss Scotland, 18-year-old Juliet-Jane Horne.[SOUND BITE]The People’s Republic of China was represented for the first time this year by 18-year-od Bing Li.[SOUND BITE]The title of first runner up went to Miss Aruba, 19-year-old Zerelda Lee.
