You surely want to take a good school yearbook photo, for you only get to do it once, and it’s what people remember you by for the whole school year．Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips．

1．Practice smiling in a mirror．It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera does need a little preparation．Don’t be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera —hold your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile．Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face．

2．Choose your color wisely．In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker colors because they draw attention to the face．Generally, white often isn’t the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if you’re pale．Besides, stay away from super(超级的)-bright colors ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless you’re really sure they make you look perfect．

3．Avoid unnecessary details．Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile．Save them for your everyday fashion experiments．Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken．The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that it’s in the laundry．

4．Avoid big changes to your appearance．Big changes may not turn out the way you hope．Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳头) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken．Don’t overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the "less is more" approach．

1.The best title of this passage is ______．

A． How to Make Yourself Look Good

B． How to Do When Taking a School Photo

C． How to Get Ready for Your School Photo-taking

D． How to Make a Good School Photo Book

2.A bright yellow shirt is not a good choice for taking photos because _______．

A． it reflects light with the brightness

B． it makes people look gray and pale

D． it suits nobody in front of a camera

3.The underlined part "less is more" in the last paragraph means _______．

A． common hair style is more attractive than the over-done

B． simple hair style makes your face more attractive

C． spending less time on hair makes you look more attractive

D． combing the hair up right costs less time but means more
