3．Michelle was a student at University of California，Los Angeles．She is here to tell us how she feels about the city．
What were the best things about Los Angeles？
One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather．I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there．Plus，most of the time it's usually sunny，which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer．There's so much to do at the beach，but my favorite thing in L．A．was having a picnic on the sand with my friends．
What were theworst things about being there？
I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out．Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded．Also，a lot of people complain about the pollution．
Did you have any problems there？
Just the normal problems of living in any city，like watching out for pickpockets （扒手）．Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime，but I think it's as safe as any other city．Also，many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage （路怒症），but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience．
What are the people like in Los Angeles？
There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse．For the most part，though，most of the people are friendly，calm and relaxed．Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful，but I think that's just a stereotype （模式化的印象）．
Would you go back to Los Angeles？
Certainly．Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world．I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city，but also has access to beaches，parks，mountains and other places you can't usually find in large cities．Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do，it's a great place to be．

19．People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression，and that's actually quite true．（36）EAfter all，making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them．The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time．
●Dress appropriately
（37）DThat means dressing up or putting on nice，clean，situation-appropriate clothes for social situations．It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much，either．
●Be aware of your body language
Words express very little of what you say．Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level．（38）CEye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable，important and special．Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious．Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others．
●Respect the opinions of others
Not everyone will have the same opinion with you，and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversation．Respect other people's right to have their own opinion．Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them．（39）G
●（40）A
People love talking about themselves，but generally，you want to be careful of taking over the conversation．By listening carefully to what others are saying，you are not only making them feel important，but you can gather cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics．

A．Be a careful listener．
B．Show an interest in every person you meet．
C．Smile especially when first meeting someone．
D．Make sure you look nice whenever you meet someone new．
E．Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging．
F．Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression．
G．Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them．

16．One advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes； one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes．
"Nothing fits，"said Lam Yuk Wong，a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University．"Everyone says this． They order clothes and they don't fit．People get very unhappy．"
Wong and her design partner，Xuaner"Cecilia"Zhang，are Team White Mirror，creators of what they call a"virtual （虚拟）fitting room"．Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly：to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time．Both women are from China，Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing．They both order most of their clothing online．They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives．"They say，‘The color is wrong'or‘I got the right size but it still does not fit．'We want to make it like you're in the store trying on the clothes，"Zhang said．
Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360video game player，Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into，in effect，a virtual model，keeping Wong's dimensions （尺寸），and even her skin and hair color．"We put the clothes on the shopper's 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed，"Wong said．So far，Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts，and they are now working on shorts．

15．Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson，Arizona．He moved there a few years ago，and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends．
My earliest memories of my father are a tall，handsome，successful man devoted to his work and his family，but uncomfortable with his children．As a child I loved him．He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as"successful"as he was．Whenever I went out with him on weekends，I used to struggle to think up things to say，feeling on guard．
On the first day of my visit，we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café．We talked along that afternoon，did some shopping，ate on the street table，and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions．Gone was my father's critical （挑剔的） air and strict rules．Who was this person I knew as my father，who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around？What had held him back before？
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood．Although our times together became easier over the years，I never felt closer to him at that moment．After so many years，I'm at last seeing another side of my father．And in so doing，I'm delighted with my new friend．My dad，in his new home in Arizona，is back to me from where he was．
