It was hard to show my mom the 47 . She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Well, eventually, I showed her and she couldn't 48 it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed. Weeks passed and my parents started to _ 49 the fact that I had a phone. They would say, \noticed that you never pay attention to us. It's like you have your own little 50 now and we don't communicate as much with your phone．\

A week later I tried 52_ a whole day without a cell phone and it didn't go that badly．I had so much 53 because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones．
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I'm not saying that phones are 54 and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get 55 with your phone all day．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．It also affected my grades．

How to look good in a photo?
What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken? Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．
The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺） taken out by computers．
Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．
For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body．
For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle．And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape．
Keep shoulders back． Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller．
Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter （快门） is clicked for full eyes． Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days． 56．If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______． A．below you B．above you C．directly at you D．right behind you 57．According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______． A．light B．shadow C．angles D．photographers 58．What advice does the author give on taking photos? A．Raise legs on the wall． B．Look down． C．Keep shoulders back． D．Put a penny between lips．

Throughout my 41 years at General Electric, I've experienced a lot．In the media, I've gone from prince

to pig and back again．And I've been called many things．
In the early days, some called me a crazy, wild man．When I became CEO two decades ago, Wall Street asked, \
When I tried to make GE more competitive by cutting back our workforce in the early 1980s, the media called me \．\asked if \．\．1 or No．2 Jack, Services Jack, Global Jack, and, in more recent years．Six Sigma Jack and e-Business Jack．
When we made an effort to acquire Honeywell in October 2000, and I agreed to stay on through the transition （ 过渡期 ） , some thought of me as the Long-in-the-Tooth Jack hanging on by his fingertips to his CEO job．
Those characterizations said less about me and a lot more about the stage our company went through．Truth is, down deep, I've never really changed much from the boy my mother raised in Salem, Massachusetts．
When I started on this journey in 1981 , standing before Wall Street analysts for the first time at New York's Pierre Hotel, I said I wanted GE to become \the most competitive enterprise on earth．\My objective was to put a small-company spirit in a big-company body, to build an organization out of an old-line industrial company that would be more high-spirited, more adaptable, and more flexible than companies that are one-fiftieth our size．I said then that I wanted to create a company \to try new things ?where people know that only the limits of their creativity and drive, their own standards of personal excellence, will be the ceiling on how far and how fast they move．\
I've put my mind, my heart, and my courage into that journey every day of the 40-plus years I've been lucky enough to be a part of GE．

College students constantly hear the praises of education．We have all become used to believing that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier life．I was nine years old when my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted in my life．I filled my paper with things
