【题目】How to look good in a photo?

What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken? Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．

The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺） taken out by computers．

Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．

For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body．

For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle．And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape．

Keep shoulders back．

Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller．

Lower your eyes andthen look up just as shutter （快门） is clicked for full eyes．

Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days．

【题目】阅读理解

A

I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language. Maybe I am different from most people，but I do not bother with them. To me they are kind of dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up with the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations，then you can add a few idioms. And by that time, you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.

I find that many learners have trouble with idioms，as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact, it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly.

Yes，occasionally you hear idioms and do not understand. But，in my experience，there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words，what they mean and how they are used. Certainly，it is best for a nonnative speaker to stick to standard speech.

Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”．Then you hear nonnative speakers saying things like “I goanna”, “You wane” etc.

You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. In general，you can save any phrase that you find interesting，and if that includes idioms，go to it. But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms. I，in fact，avoid them. If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly idiomatic use of words，I just leave it span>aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on appearing，then I will learn it.

【1】In the writer's opinion，when one learns a new language，one should learn its idioms ________.

A．at the beginning B．on one's own

C．in the end D．without help

【2】The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”．

A．oral B．informal

C．formal D．written

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．idioms are the most important part in a language

B．the writer is not very willing to use idioms

C．nonnative speakers should learn more idioms

D．there are no ways to master idioms

【4】How did the writer develop the passage?

A．By inferring. B．By comparing.

C．By listing examples. D．By giving explanations.
