Most of the time， people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays， hats， especially womens hats， are much more than that. More exactly， hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. Whats more， people now consider many different features （特点） when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that， when choosing the right hat， its important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair， your height， and the shape of your face.

First of all， the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance， black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair， one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second， the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns， just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third， and most importantly， the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small， gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However， women with big， round faces should choose a different style.

As the saying goes， “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features， so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public？

There have never been many adventurers. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted—a lady， or money， or a country， or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.

There have been many half-adventurers. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.

In the big city of New York， Romance and Adventure are always waiting.

We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street， we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door， instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner， eyes look toward us， or hands are raised， or fingers point.

But few of us are ready to accept. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on； and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then， when it is too late， we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure.
