Selfies
(
自拍
)
have
become
an
increasingly
common
way
to
capture
memorable
moments.
When
it
comes to
taking selfies , knowing the following tips can
directly affect the quality of your final product.
The
use
of
light
is
vital
to
improving
image
quality.
Lights
can
help
avoid
shadows
and
create
soft
features on your face, so turn your
face toward the main light source. If you want to
be creative, play with
light angles by
turning your body, but make sure the photo is
properly exposed and your face is lit from the
front or the side. Besides, avoid
taking selfies against the main light source or
with overhead lighting. In
addition,
natural light possesses a warmth that makes you
look like you're
glowing.
（发光）
When
taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the
camera away from your face, and try to take
photos both
horizontally
（水平地）
and
vertically(
垂直地
). If not,
your face might look bigger than usual.
Ideally, the universal selfie angle is
45 degrees above your head. But you should study
your face at different
angles because
finding your best angle requires you having seen
all of them.
One problem with selfies
is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can
always do more to show
others
your
best
side.
Try
to
simplify
the
background
by
taking
selfies
outdoors
or
in
spacious
areas.
Document yourself engaging in
interesting activities---hiking with family
members, visiting landmarks, or
working
out with friends. At least, you can make the photo
appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm
or a background that's too busy.
You can also download some photo apps
that allow you to adjust the lighting and
contrast. Some apps
offer useful
filters, which can change your skin tone and
remove pimples (
粉刺
) on your
face.
1
．
To get an
image of high quality, you need to _______.
A. be under the light source
B. be against the main light
C. face the main light source
D. have the photo fully exposed

．
How can you
find the angle that suits you most?

B. Hold the camera far
enough from you.
C. Keep the camera
lower than your face.
D.
Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.

Which of the
following should be avoided when taking selfies?
A. The use of natural light.
B. A landmark as a background.
C. Changes of the skin tone.
D. A busy background.

The pounding
（重击声）
was driving Edward crazy. A new
neighbor had just moved into the apartment
below him. The newcomer was deaf, or
seemed to be, because he played his
stereo
（立体声音响）
loud
enough for the whole building to hear.
On
the
first
day
he
heard
the
stereo
rocking
over,
Edward
marched
downstairs
and politely
told
the
newcomer
that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new
tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down
as long as he lived in the building.
The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and
said, “Oh, I’m sorry.
I didn’t realize
it was that loud.”
So,
Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he
had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer
know that loud music was not going to
be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and
Edward continued to be
pleased
with
himself.
The
following
day,
Edward
thought
it
must
be
Fourth
of
July,
because
a
marching
band
was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new
neighbor who was playing his music loud again.
Edward was not one to repeat himself,
feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you
diminished the
value of your words. So,
he did what he always did with rude
neighbors
－—
grin and bear it.
Eventually,
they would move away. What
else are you going to do?
In Los
Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her
upstairs neighbor that he was playing his
drums too loud and too often. The
drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman
walked upstairs and
shot the drummer in
the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The
woman was sentenced to prison for 20
years.
The dead drummer
won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman
might be wishing now that she
had
learned
to
grin
and
bear
it.
If
she
were
still
living
in
her
apartment,
she
could
always
move.
When
you’re
in prison, you don’t have that option.

Feeling down?
Consider

these things to remember when you’re
having a bad day
．
No one promised life would be
perfect
．
If you look for perf
ection
，
you
’
ll never be
content
．
Don’t
condition your happiness on meeting
every expectation you set for
yourself
．
It is good to be
ambitious
，
but
you’
ll never be
perfect
．
If you expect
otherwise
，
your life will be
filled with disappointments
．
Success doesn’t happen
overnight
．
Trees that are
slow to grow bear the best
fruit
．
Don’t kid yourself
into
thinking
success
will
come
quickly
．
It
isn’t
easy
to
be
p
atient
，
but
anything
worth
doing
requires
time
．
If you get
frustrated
，
remind yourself
why your goal is important
．
There is a lesson in every
struggle
．
And once the storm
is over
，
you won’t remember
how you made it
through or how you
managed to survive
．
But one
thing is certain
．
When you
come out of the storm
，
you
won’t be the same person who walked
in
．
That’s what this storm’s
all about
．
Don’t complain
about how
terrible your life
is
．
If you search for the
lesson in your present
struggle
，
you’
ll
be able to make positive
changes that
would prevent similar situations in the
future
．
Without
hard
times
，
you
wouldn’t
appreciate
the
good
ones
．
Strength
does
not
come
from
winning
．
Your
struggles develop your
strengths
．
When you go
through hardships and decide not to give
in
，
that is
strength
．
It is hard to find
much to smile about when you
fail
，
but how else would you
improve
yourself? If you look at
failure as a part of your evolutionary
process
，
you’
ll
stay positive and pursue your
goals for
as long as it takes

The writer Margaret
Mitchell is best known for writing
Gone
with the Wind
, first published in 1936.
Her book and the movie based on it,
tell a story of love and survival during the
American Civil War. Visitors
to the
Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can
go where she lived when she started composing the
story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell
House is an exhibit area telling about the
writer’s life. She was
born in Atlanta
in 1900. She started writing stories when she was
a child. She started working as a reporter
for
the
Atlanta
Journal
newspaper
in
1922.
One
photograph
of
Ms.
Mitchell,
called
Peggy,
shows
her
talking to a group of young college
boys. She was only about one and a half meters
tall. The young men
·
3
·
tower over her, but she seems very
happy and sure of herself. The tour
guide explains: “Now in this picture
Peggy
is
interviewing
some
boys
from
Georgia
Tech,
asking
them
such
questions
as
“Would
you
really
marry a woman who works?” And today
it’d be “Would you marry one who
doesn’t?”
The Margaret
Mitchell House is a building that once contained
several apartments. Now we enter the
first floor apartment where Ms.
Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They
made fun of the small
apartment by
calling it “The Dump”.
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had
stopped working as a reporter and was at home
healing after an
injury. Her husband
brought her books to read from the library. She
read so many books that he bought her a
typewriter and said it was time for her
to write her own book. Our guide says
Gone with the Wind
became a
huge
success.
Margaret
Mitchell
received
the
Pulitzer
Prize
for
the
book.
In
1939
the
film
version
was
released. It won ten Academy Awards,
including Best Picture.

Gone with the Wind
was
_________.
A. first published on a newspaper

Four Ways to Be a Great
Roommate
Having a roommate can be one
of the best experiences in college or, easily, one
of the worst.
16
Follow these tips to avoid the common
mistakes that turn good roommate relationships
sour.
◇
Talk things out.
Communication
is
key.
If
something
happens,
sit
down
with
your
roommate
and
have
a
face-to-face
conversation. I've seen roommate
relationships fall apart because something happens
and ,instead of talking
to each other,
the two start complaining about their roommates
behind their backs.
17
◇
Don't expect to be best
friends.
Some
roommates
become
the
best
of
friends,
and
some
don't.
Don't
put
pressure
on
yourself
or
your
roommate, especially when you first
meet.
18
And
if your roommate doesn't end up being your
best friend, don't worry.
◇
19
This
applies
to
food,
clothes
and
anything
else.
If
you
want
to
keep
a
relationship
going,
show
your
roommate
that
you
have
respect
for
what
is
his
or
hers
by
asking
first.
Even
if
you
both
agree
to
share
everything, you should
still ask.
◇
Clean up after
yourself.
