Make a Good First Impression
1 At a dinner party in New York, one of the guests, a woman who had inherited money, was eager to make a pleasing impression on everyone. She had squandered a modest fortune on sables, diamonds and pearls. (1)But she hadn't done anything whatsoever about her face.(承上启下句)It radiated sourness and selfishness. (2)She didn't realize what everyone knows: namely, the expression one wears on one's face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one's back.
2 (3)Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, \happy. I am glad to see you.%us that they almost jump out of their skins. So, naturally, we are glad to see them. (承上总结句)
本部分重点及难点:
1. whatsoever(也作whatever)adv. 用在no+名词、nothing、none等之后,以加强语气。 如:There can be no doubt whatever about it. 这件事毫无疑问。
