Finding Vivian Maier is one of the most successful Documentaries(纪录片）in 2015. It showed us the life story of Vivian Maier, one of America’s most insightful street photographers.

Vivian Maier was born in New York on February 1，1926. While she was a child, she moved between the U.S. and France several times. Sometime in 1949, Vivian began playing with her first photos. In 1951, aged 25, she moved to New York and worked in a factory and then to Chicago in 1956, where she worked primarily as a nanny(保姆）for the next 40 years. She loved photography so much that she spent all her free time taking photos. She took more than 100,000 photographs, mainly of the people and buildings of New York，Chicago, and Los Angeles, These photos opened one of the most fascinating windows into American life from the 1950s until the 1990s. She died on April 21，2009.

During her lifetime, Maier’s photographs were unknown, and she never printed many of her negatives(底片).A Chicago collector, John Maloof, got some of Maier’s photos in 2007, while Ron Slattery and Randy Prow, also found some of Maier’s prints and negatives in her boxes around the same time. Maier’s photographs wer e first published (发表）on the Internet in July 2008, by Slattery, but very few people showed their interest.

Getting excited over the Christmas adverts(广告)has become a big tradition for people in the UK.

This year, Sainsbury, the second largest chain of supermarket in the UK, has shared its advert called

Mog the Cat. The advert has been known as “the best Christmas advert ever” according to Twitter.

5

The advert is about a cat of the Thomas family. She almost ruined(毁坏）the house by starting a fire and blowing up the Christmas tree and accidently (意外地)phones the fire service. As she had called 999，she saved the house. Finally, the neighbor of the Thomas family helped and saved the day. Its ending will make you feel all sweet inside. It also carries Sainsbury's Christmas saying “Christmas is for sharing”.

Another reason why the advert is popular is that Mog the Cat is the character of a much-loved children's book. The writer Kerr herself appears in this advert as a neighbor of the Thomas family. This advert also tells us some fire safety facts.

Twitters were talking about and enjoyed the advert and one poster wrote the advert was the “winner” out of this year's Christmas offerings(奉献物). Another woman had mixed feeling with the advert making her laugh and cry(哭) at the same time. And she said: “I don't even like cats.” Another woman wrote: “Sainsb ury，Christmas ad is the best.” While one posted: “So far Sainsbury's Christmas ad is the best I've seen this year” One woman posted “Mog was my favorite when I was five”

Introvert or Extrovert, which one are you?

Introvert and extrovert are two commonly used words to describe a person's personality.

Introverts may be thought as quiet, shy and nervous(紧张的}. Extroverts may be thought as loud, outgoing, and confident(自信)

However, they are usually misused and misunderstood. Introverts and extroverts truly differ from the way they think and get their energy （能量）

For introverts, to be alone with their thoughts is as important as sleeping and earing. They are known for thinking things through before they speak and enjoy small group of friends and one-on-one time. They are not always shy .They are simply people who find it tiring to be around people. They may still love going to parties and be able to give a good speech before many people but they need time to prepare. "

On the other side of the coin，extroverts are energized by people. They actually find their energy die down when they spend too much time alone. They usually enjoy spending time with others, as this is how they get energy again. Even so, extroverts can still feel unsure or not confident among other people.

In other words, there are nervous introverts and calm (镇定的) extroverts. And there are also shy extroverts and outgoing introverts.

It's pretty much sure that we are going to come in with people of different personalities throughout our lives, from introverts to extroverts and the ones in between. Understanding the differences can help us get along with others and get the best of ourselves.
