Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman．A man goes shopping because he needs something．All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want．If the shop has it in stock，the salesman immediately finds it，and the business of trying it on follows at once．All being well，the deal can be and often is completed inless than five minutes．

For a man，small problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants．In that case，thesalesman，tries to sell the customer something else．“I know this jacket is not the style you want，sir，but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be thecolour you mentioned．”Few men have patience with this treatment，and the usual response is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size，but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on．”

However，a woman in almost every respect she does so in the opposite way．Her shopping is not often based on needand she is only “having a look around”．She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her．She will try on any number ofthings．Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes．They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain．Faced with a roomful of dresses，a woman may easily spend an hour going from one room to another，often retracing her steps，before selecting the dresses she wants to try on．It is a laborious process，but apparently an enjoyable one．Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands．

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 and then look up just as shutter （快門） is clicked for full eyes．

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

1.If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______．

A．below you B．a(chǎn)bove you

C．directly at you D．right behind you

A．light B．shadow C. angles D．photographers

B．Look down．
