So which is your favorite type?Appearance countsA number of players pay great attention to personal style. Cool haircuts always _42_ well with the handsome faces on t

27、he field.For instance, you cant make a “hottest players” list without mentioning Crisiano Ronaldo.

Neymar, 23, is another sta r

28、in this _44_. There is no doubt that he is quite an attractive young man, with his sharp features and dream eyes. And hopes are always high that he will lead his team to glory.Winning personalitySome player may not have striking faces, but their _45_ personalities make them attractive.Take 28-year-o

29、ld Lionel Messi for example.

33、ng up fun on Shanghai streets this year. Not everyone, however, is _53_ about the increasing popularity of Halloween in our city.In actual fact, Halloween is a holiday that makes _54_ people unhappy, even in countries where it is widely popular. It is not surprising that stories of the dead rising a

34、nd walking among us might offend certain religious and cultural _55_ of any country._56_, costumes are often designed to be scary, disturbing and even disgusting. This particular feature of Halloween is exactly what _57_some elderly passengers on the metro a few nights ago. A group of local universi

35、ty students, who were heading for a Halloween party, had dressed up like zombies. Their frightening appearance shocked the elderly passengers, causing them to become nervous.Micro-bloggers later discussed the _58_ online, expressing _59_ opinions.

Before her album “Come Away With Me” arrived, no one expected the quiet girl to take eight Grammies.On February 10, Jones retu rned with her long-awaited new album, “Feel like Home,” still without much publicity.For the talented young girl, following up

44、the huge presentation isnt much pressure: “I want people to like it, but I dont expect it to do as well as the last one.” That was kind of strange. But I like this record; its sweet.Born on March 30, 1979 in New York City, Jones grew up in Dallas, Texas with her mother and thanks her for her musical

45、 style. “My mom had this eight-album Billie Holiday set. I picked out one disc I liked and played it over and over again.”Jones began playing the piano at seven and discovered singing while in high school. She majored in jazz piano at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip

46、to New York City. The trip started out as just a summer trip away from college, but Jones quickly knew that she would not be leaving for a while.“The music scene is so huge. I found it very exciting. I especially enjoyed hearing amazing songwriters at places like the Living Room. I just couldnt leav

47、e.”She started visiting local songwriters and at last started a band with local song writer Jesse Harris and bassist Lee Alexander, who wrote most songs for “Come Away With Me” and “Feels Like Home.”“Weve always done the music we like. I feel like we are all honest, the band and me, and thats really

48、 all that matters,” Jones says.When asked about the advantage of fame, Jones simply says, “Ive got a nicer apartment now, but thats about it.” She pauses a minute and amends that answer, “My old apartments was nice, too, though. I dont want that owner to get mad.”66. The album “Come Away With Me”_.A. made Norah Jones known to the public right aft
