2、 you: you are smart in some way. To show this, Thomas tells the story of his life. When he was little, he did badly at school and was sent down a year. But later on, he found he was good at writing. He worked hard and became a writer and teacher. Being smart does not just mean being good at school t
3、ests. There are many other ways to be smart.

4、hem and make use of them. Each child comes into the world with some talent(天赋). If the child is helped, he can do better in our world. Parents and teachers must help the child to keep those gifts.

9、s the same with fashion is this: it always changes! In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies(嬉皮士) made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants all the fashion. Now try to find these items in todays clothing stores! Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as

12、 themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time. For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish th
