1.a Mercedes convertible (convertible n.有活动折篷的汽车)

2.Mississippi

Mississippi is a state located in the southern region of the United States. The state takes its name from the Mississippi River, which flows along its western boundary. Jackson, the largest city in Mississippi, is also the state capital.

Children in the United States often count "One-Mississippi, two-Mississippi" during informal games such as hide and seek to approximate counting by seconds.

3. fabric softener (Snuggle) & dryer sheets

Fabric softener (also called Fabric Conditioner) is used to prevent static cling and make fabric softer. Popular brand names include Lenor, Downy, Snuggle, and Comfort. Most newer washing machines have a dispenser to add liquid fabric softener to the load of laundry automatically on the final rinse; in launderettes it may need to be added manually. Some brands of washing powder have fabric conditioning built-in which is claimed to save money when compared to buying ordinary washing powder and fabric softener separately. There are some fabric softeners that besides softening clothes also claim to make ironing easier whereas some claim to make clothes dry faster. The use of fabric softener may however reduce the water absorption capabilities of the fabric, and is contra-indicated in some articles like microfibre textiles. For best results, un-diluted fabric softener should not be poured directly onto clothes.

Another form of fabric softener is in the form of dryer sheets which are added to clothing in the tumble dryer to soften the fabrics and prevent static. Dryer sheets, or dryer anticling strips, can also be used to keep clothes smelling good while being stored.

4. Rocky and Bullwinkle (moose n.[动]麋;北美麋squirrel n.松鼠)

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is the collective name for two separate American television animated series: Rocky and His Friends (1959 – 1961) and The Bullwinkle Show (1961 – 1964). Rocky & Bullwinkle enjoyed great popularity during the 1960s. Much of this success was a result of it being targeted towards both children and adults. The zany characters and absurd plots would draw in children, while the clever usage of puns and topical references appealed to the adult demographic. Furthermore, the strengths of the series helped it overcome the fact that it had choppy, limited animation; in fact, some critics described the series as a well-written radio program with pictures.

5. gentle cycle

6.Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn Heights is one of New York City's most beautiful and enjoyable tourist attractions. Robert Fulton’s ferry service marked the beginning of the development of Brooklyn Heights. His ferry service was one of the best connectors and Manhattan had prior to the Bridges.

Because of Robert Fulton residential communities began to come into existence in the 1820s. These communities include the bastions of Brooklyn history: the brownstone houses. These houses would become national landmarks after Brooklyn Heights’ brownstone community was declared a historic district. The Promenade in Brooklyn Heights offers a magnificent view of the sunset that one will never forget. Brooklyn Heights is also home to Brooklyn's only state park, the Fulton Ferry State Park. This unique park offers a scenic view from beneath the Brooklyn Bridge at the Brooklyn anchorage. The homes in Brooklyn Heights show an array of varied architecture. Atlantic Avenue, which separates Brooklyn Heights from Cobble Hill offers an enchanting selection of antiques in stores along the avenue. The avenue is also known for its exquite cusine featuring a taste for any palette. Restaurants in the area include Middle Eastern, French, Mexican, Cajun and Carribean Food. Brooklyn Heights is also home to St. Ann's Church.

7. Cleveland  

Cleveland is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Cuyahoga County, the most populous county in the state. The municipality is located in northeastern Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie, approximately 60 miles (100 km) west of the Pennsylvania border. It was founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, and became a manufacturing center owing to its location at the head of numerous canals and railroad lines. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Cleveland's businesses have diversified into the service economy, including the financial services, insurance, and healthcare sectors. Cleveland is also noted for its association with rock music, as the city is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

8.Band-Aid 护创胶布(商标名)

Underdog was an American animated television series that debuted on October 3, 1964, on the NBC network and continued in syndication until 1973 for a run of approximately 124 episodes over NBC and, occasionally, CBS.

11.Norman Mailer

Norman Kingsley Mailer (January 31, 1923 – November 10, 2007) was an American novelist, journalist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director.

Along with Truman Capote, Joan Didion, and Tom Wolfe, Mailer is considered an innovator of creative nonfiction, a genre sometimes called New Journalism, but which covers the essay to the nonfiction novel. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize twice and the National Book Award once. In 1955, Mailer, together with Ed Fancher and Dan Wolf, first published The Village Voice, which began as an arts- and politics-oriented weekly newspaper initially distributed in Greenwich Village. In 2005, he won the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from The National Book Foundation.

有天听Savage Garden （《野人花园》乐队）的一首歌Santa Monica，我突然发现里面有句歌词唱到他：

But on the telephone line I am anyone

I am anything I want to be

I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer

And you wouldn't know the difference

Or would you?
