and checking off a series of firsts. now, as she reaches her milestone birthday friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark. five years after moving into the white house, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office. so far, critics have complained about michelles silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice: last year, at the start of her husbands second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, conn. she also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nations “mom-in-chief.” nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.“the most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or hispanic, youre the first lady and the president of all the people in the united states. thats a huge melting pot, so to reinforce (强化)that shes african american over anything else would not be wise,” said anita mcbride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of americas first ladies and their historical influence at american university. valerie jarrett, a top white house adviser and a close friend of the obamas, said the first lady doesnt want to “spread herself too thin.” “she really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” jarrett told the associated press. “that, she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”but robert watson, a lynn university professor, said he expects obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said. myra gutin, a ryder university communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies, said she expects obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the white house, given their success. michelle launched the “lets move” campaign in 2010. it in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the national football league to the sesame street franchise (特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables. “theres no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. is mrs. obama cutting edge? is she an activist? no. as first ladies go, i think shes been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “but shes not exactly just sitting in the white house pouring tea and having receptions, either.”1、critics were disappointed with michelle because _.ashe didnt put gun-control measures into effectbshe failed some feminists to stand out to be a career womancshe didnt solve some

his back, larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. at least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures. larrys first expedition without his father was in the cayman islands.there were numerous diving spots in the area and
