How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.
What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, more American men followed his example.
There is also a cyclical(周期性的) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.
Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fa
shion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be discourteous(失礼的) to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either!

The Auto Show, which is being held right now in Beijing, has risen to the top ranks of global auto industry events, as China has become the world"s biggest auto market．For many Chinese youngsters, having a car has become a new lifestyle reflecting freedom and success
First, there is the thrill of individual mobility and freedom, going from one place to another in their own time, and on their own terms．
"I like the speed; I like the freedom; I can"t imagine not having a car," Hou Mingxin, 39, owner of two cars, told the Financial Times．
And these youngsters don"t just want freedom through car ownership, but also a larger social circle．Thanks to the Internet, car owners can band together for leisure activities, such as going strawberry picking in the countryside．It is an activity that many car lovers would never have attempted without the benefits of a car．
In China, the car is also a status symbol．"It"s an opportunity to declare personal success," said Michael Dunne, a Shanghai-based managing director of J．D．Power and Associates, an auto industry group．"The small, environmentally-friendly models are not best sellers in China．The Chinese are crazy about big cars, a symbol of achievement," said Dunne．
Thanks to a growing middle-class, and an increasingly developed network of roads, the number of car owners in China is rapidly increasing. China last year replaced the US and became the world"s largest car market with 13.6 million vehicles sold．
But the car craze(狂热) has raised environmental and traffic concerns. Many worry that car emissions could take pollution to a new level. Heavy traffic also troubles many Chinese cities.
China is discovering the romance of the road just as developed countries seem to have lost it. “The younger generation in mature markets is unwilling to buy cars, especially in Europe and Japan," says Klaus Paur, of TNS Auto in Shanghai．
In developed countries, owning a car can be expensive, with the parking fees car insurance and various taxes, said a 2008 article in US magazine Newsweek．
"Having a car is so 20th century," Kimiyuki Suda, a young white collar worker from Tokyo told Newsweek．He mostly uses subways and trains．"It"s not inconvenient at all．"
