Michelle Obama is the first lady of America. She visited China on March 20th, 2014. When she met the president Xi, she wore a red dress. She said her red dress is always ready for the important moment. Do you know she is also the first lady of fashion American?

Every first lady since Lou Hoover (except Bess Truman) has appeared in the high-fashion magazine, Vogue. But Mrs. Obama is only the second to appear on the cover.

Most cover models have their clothes chosen for them by Vogue, or at least editors work as advisers. However, Mrs. Obama did choose outfits for the Vogue photos from labels(商标) she had worn before. “She doesn't need any help. She loves fashion and knows what works for her,” Talley said. “She’s never had a conversation with me about, `What do you think?' or `How did this look?' And I'm glad for that.”

Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn't take them off.
All the animals talked about the bear's new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats (老鼠)  wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, "This can't be good. Animals don't need clothes!" But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion.
However, it wasn't long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn't go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped(滑到) from the river rock and almost killed himself.
When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, "Take off those clothes before one day they're going to kill you." Those who listened to the doctor's advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn't need clothes at all.

Christian Bucks may be young, but he sure knows how to be a good friend. When the York, Pennsylvania, second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didn’t have anyone to play with during the break time, he came up with a way to help them. He suggested having something called a “buddy bench” put in on his school’s playground.

A buddy bench is a special bench where students can sit if they are feeling bored or lonely. It’s usually brightly colored with “BUDDY BENCH” in big letters. Other students can then go to the bench and ask them if they would like to play or talk.
“We show we care about others when we ask others to play,” Christian told reporters.
Christian first learned about buddy benches when his family was considering moving to Germany. He saw a buddy bench in a handbook for a German school and thought it would be a great way to fight loneliness on the playground at his own school, Roundtown Elementary School.
Christian told Roundtown’s headteacher, Matthew Miller, about his idea at the end of last school year. Miller immediately decided to get a buddy bench. He had Christian pick out its style and bright colors.
“I was the first person who got to sit on the bench when it arrived at Roundtown,” says Christian. He hopes the bench will help “grow our dream circle of friends”.
小题1:Christian Bucks suggested having a buddy bench to help ______.
A.his teachersB.his students C.his parentsD.his schoolmates
小题2:Christian learned about the buddy bench ______.
A.in a textbookB.from his father
