Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer,a little softer with 1 ? I 2 do,and I feel that much of the world has got away from that. I see such a 3 in New York City,for example,from when I first moved here more than 20 years ago ：people rushing into lifts without giving those 4 a chance to get 5 first,never saying thank you when others 6 a door open for them,or please when they want a classmate to hand 7 something. We get lazy,and we think that something like a simple 8 you doesn't really matter. But in fact it can matter much. It is that no matter how 9 we dress,how beautifully we decorate our homes,or how lovely our dinner 10 are,we can't be really stylish (漂亮的) without good manners (举止) .
In fact,I think of good 11 as a kind of hidden beauty secret. Haven't you noticed that the kindest,most generous people seem to keep 12 more beautiful? They become Cary Grant or Lauren Bacall right 13 our eyes. It's 14 how that happens,but it does.
Take the longlost art of saying thank you. Like wearing a little lipstick (口红) or making sure your hair is neat,getting into the habit (习惯) of saying thank you can make you feel better about yourself,and then you look better to 15 around you.
