2.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 red 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 world by returning to a Wu design which had been made for her.
Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball,Michelle shone in a white,one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.
Wu,who was 26at 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 2013decision,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(配饰)collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official appointments.
The sleeveless 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 color tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.
Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
