In the days before Diana became accustomed to daily hairdressers, high fashion and expertly applied makeup, she looked her best when she was wearing her least. No frilly blouses concealed her elegant neck, carefully cut skirts her long legs, or bulky sweaters her well-rounded figure. She was young and not fully aware of just how attractive she could be. But if she wanted to impress a young man, any young man, she always made it a point to go swimming or sailing or, at the very least, play a game of tennis.
When Prince Charles saw her aboard Britannia at Cowes in the late summer of 1980, he wasn’t however particularly interested.

A. she was a highly skilled tennis player

Works of several historians reveal the moral compromises made by the nation’s early leaders and the fragile nature of the country’s infancy. More A. show the primitive medical practice in the past. B. demonstrate the cruelty of slavery in his days. C. stress the role of slaves in the U. S. history. D. reveal some unknown aspect of his life.
