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. She appeared wearing a pink silk dress by Jason Wu. When she was interviewed by the editor of Vogue, Mrs. Obama said what she wears is always paid attention to by many people. “I’m not going to pretend that I don't care about it.” she said.

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?'

My name is Daisy. I live with my mother and father in a flat. The flat is on the fifth floor of a tall building. There are 14 floors and a parking garage(车库) in the basement(地下室). My father parks his car there.
Our flat is not in the center of the city. It is 2 miles from the center. My father works in the city, so he goes to work by train every day. He doesn't drive his car. He uses his car only on weekends. Then he takes us into the country or to the beach.
Our flat has three bedrooms. There is a bedroom for my mother and father,one for me and one for my brother. There is a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
