In the fifth grade, there came my sudden fashion moment. One day, Iwas really feeling myself. I put on a black skirt and colorful tights(连裤袜), a yellow T-shirt with dark purple flowers. Then I added my final touch: a pair of green rain boots(雨靴).
I climbed onto the school bus, smiling and thought I was a super star. But when I got off, my friend John lookedme up and down and said, “What are you wearing ” Everyone turned and looked at me, laughing. I was discouraged. To be honest, John wasn’t trying to make me disappointed. He was just shocked.
But while my ego(自尊) took a minute to return, a rebellious(反叛的) voice appeared in my mind and I said, “No,I’m not showing up like everyone else.”
Style has always lit me up. And through all my years, that voice has remained.
But the truth isn’t about clothes. It’s about a powerful need to be accepted by the world as my true self. Personalstyle isn’t about drawing attention. It is a strong wish not to be looked at but to be taken in as a whole by others.
However, society sometimes fails to understand this. There is a saying, “To be yourself in a world that is trying tochange you into something else is the greatest achievement.” Wear the clothes you love and be yourself.
28. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “discouraged”
A. Upset. B. Joyful. C. Surprised.
29. What did the writer do after being laughed at by her classmates
A. She kept silent and never said anything.
B. She shouted at her friend and never talked to him.
C. She stuck to her true feeling and made an effort to be herself.
30. The writer thinks “personal style” is_______.

A. Change Your Clothes B. Follow the Rules C. Be Yourself Bravely
