It takes just a quick look，maybe three seconds，for someone to value you when you meet for the first time．In this short time，the other person forms an opinion about you based on your appearance，your body language and how you are dressed.

71.This article provides some useful tips to help you．

Be on time

PIan to arrive a few minutes early．And allow some room for possible delays in traffic or taking a wrong turn．72.

Be at ease

If you are feeling uncomfortable，this can make the other person ill at ease and that’s a sure way to create a wrong impression．If you are calm and confident，the other person will feel more at ease!

Present yourself appropriately

73. The person you are meeting for the first time does not know you and your appearance is usually the first clue he or she has．But it certainly does not mean you look like a model．

A winning smile

“Smile and the world smiles，too．”A warm and confident smile will put both you and the other person at ease．So smiling is a winner when it comes to a great first impression．

Be open and confident

Body language as well as appearance speaks much louder than words．74.

Stand tall，smile，make eye contact，and greet with a firm handshake．

Be positive and polite

75. Good manners and polite behavior help make a good first impression．One modern manner worth mentioning is to “turn off your mobile phone”．

With a little extra thought and preparation，you can make every first impression not just good but great．

A．Use body language to show your confidence．

B．On the contrary，bad manners and uneasy behavior can make a wrong first impression born．

C．Arriving early is the first step in creating a good impression．

D．Present a positive attitude，even in the face of criticism(责备)or in the face of nervousness．

E．It’s important to know how to create a good first impression。

F．Of course the physical appearance matters．

G．Smiling is a universal language in the world．

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Gadgets(小装置)can be wildly expensive and quickly out-of-date, but Steven Poole is still the first to buy them．Technological innovations(创新)are often quite stupid．The idea that you might want to walk down the street holding a mobile phone in front of your face, just to experience the wonders of video calling, is clearly ridiculous．Luckily for the tech companies, however, there are some people who jump at the chance to buy into new gadgets before they are fully ready and cheap enough for the mass-market．They are called early adopters, and their fate is a terrible one．I should know, since I am one myself．

　　Early adopters have a Mecca： it's Tokyo's Akihabara district, also known as “Electric City”．There, in 1999, I bought a digital camera, a gizmo that few people in Britain had heard of．Over the next few years I watched in great sadness as digital cameras became more popular, cheaper and more powerful, until better models could be had for a quarter of the price I had paid．Did I feel stupid? What I actually did was this： I splashed out more money last year for a new one, one that let me feel pleasantly ahead of the curve once again．But I know that cannot last, and I'll probably have to buy another in a few years．

　　Thus early adopters are betting on other people eventually feeling the same desires．And it's worse if that future never arrives．Early adopters of the Betamax home-video format in the 1970s could only look on in sadness when their investment was ified(使无效)by the success of VHS．All sorts of apparently splendid inventions, such as videogame consoles like the Atari Jaguar have been abandoned to the dustbin of history right after a few early adopters bought in．Those who invested thousands in a Segway motorized scooter on the wave of ridiculous advertising campaigns that accompanied its launch a couple of years ago can join the club．

　　You might think we should just stop being so silly, save our money, and wait to see what really catches on．But the logic of the industry is such that, if everyone did that, no innovation would become popular．Imagine the third person to buy an ordinary telephone soon after Alexander Graham Bell had invented it．Who was he going to call? Maybe he simply bought two phones, one for a special friend．But still, the usefulness and eventual popularity of the device wasn't clear at the time．Nobody dreamed of the possibility of being able to speak to any one of millions of people．And yet if he, and the hundreds and thousands of early adopters after him, had not bought into the idea, the vast communication networks that we all take for granted today would never have been built．

　　The same goes, indeed, for all new technologies．Those guys holding bricks to their ears that we laughed at in the 1980s made the current mobile phone possible．People who bought DVD players when they still cost a fortune, instead of today's cheap one at the local supermarket, made sure that the new format succeeded．Early adopters’ desire for desires supported the future financially．And what did they get for their pains? They got a hole in their bank accounts and inferior, unperfected technology．But still, they got it first．And today they are still at work, buying overpriced digital radios, DVD recorders and LCD televisions, and even 3G phones, so that you will be eventually be able to buy better and less expensive ones．

　　So next time you see a gadget-festooned geek(满身新潮玩意的土包子)and feel tempted to sneer(讥笑), think for a minute．Without early adopters, there would be no cheap mobile phones or DVD players; there would be no telephone or television either．We are the tragic, unsung foot soldiers of the technology revolution．We're the desire-addicted pioneers, pure in heart, dreaming of a better future．We make expensive mistakes so you don't have to．Really, we are heroes．

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school subjects. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tried to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference in what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life, he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a walk between him and life in general.
61. According to the passage, intelligence is the ability to ________________ .
A. get high scores in some tests                         B. do well in school subjects
C. deal with life                                              D. know what to do
62. In a new situation, an intelligent person _______________ .
knows more about what might happen to him
is sure of the result he will get
is ready to face and fit himself in the situation
cares more about himself
63. If an intelligent person failed, he would ___________ .
try not to feel ashamed                              B. learn from his experiences
C. try to find all he could                            D. make sure what result he would get
64. The difference between bright children and non-bright children lies in _________ .
A. their attitude towards life                                    B. the degree of cleverness
C. the amounts of knowledge about the world     D. their way of thinking
