Dear Cathy,
I am writing to share my opinion on fashion with you, for I had just heard that you are disappointing because you can’t afford famous brands.
I shall say that it is naturally for people to care about his appearance. And it is true that fashionable thing like clothes and shoes will make one more eye-catching. Therefore, I think it is really a waste of money for you to buy famous brands. Besides, it will also add the burden of your parents.
What’s more, beauty is only skin-deep. There are many things in which can make you popular beside fashion. A great amount of knowledge and a warm heart will surely win others’ respect.
As the saying goes, never judge the person by his appearance. I do hope that you will remember the saying and be as happy as you used to be.
Yours,
Jane

New York----Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago -- and the risk paid off.
The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.
She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.
Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生辉）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.
Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.
He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.
After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.”
Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（装饰品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.
The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.
It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.
Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美发沙龙）cut on her birthday last week had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night.
Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.
1.What does the passage mainly talk about？
A. Designer Wu’s great works
B. Mrs. Obama’s decision to return to her former fashion designer
C. The First Lady’s secrets.
D. Wu, a great designer.
2.Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a_________.
A. risk B. danger C. Surprise D. success
3.According to the passage, which of the following is correct?
A. Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.
B. Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.
C. The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satisfactory.
D. Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.
4.Which of the following best describes Jason Wu?
A. Daring and gifted. B. Unusual and cautious.
C. Careful and brave. D. Talented and lucky.
