12、可知，作者为了让自己看起来漂亮，在出门前作者会花大量的时间化妆，或者整理着装。化妆和衣着是让自己看起来漂亮的两个主要方面，因此此处outfit意为“着装”。costume与outfit意义相近。故选C。2What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?AHer obsession with a beautiful appearance was gone as she grew up.BShe stopped worrying about her appearance because she turned pretty.CShe still

22、him for money.DRefuse to take care of him.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“homeless man”及“I too had rushed past him with my youngsters，refusing his request for money”可知，作者和孩子从流浪汉身边走过，拒绝了他要钱的请求，由此可知，那个流浪汉想让作者给他点钱，故C项正确。6What word can the underlined word“glint”mean in Paragraph 3?AflashBgloomCsurprise DhappinessA词义猜测题。
