have only themselves to blame,because they tremble at the thought
of being seen in pubhc in clothes that are out of fashion. They are
always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.
Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside
because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only
a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed with
clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashion is nothing more than the intentional creation
of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to re-
place clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford
to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering
the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened;necklines
are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything
really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned
with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用).
They"re only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage
of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,
as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who
hasn"t sometime in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in
a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through
deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the
conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Does the constantly changing
fashion of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of
instability(不稳定) ? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated
by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect
basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
B. because they are capable of predicting the new fashion
C. by constantly changing the fashion in women"s clothing
D. because, they always improve the quality of women"s clothing
B. a waste of time and money
C. an expression of taste
D. an expression of creativity
B. appearance
C. comfort
D. suitability
B. The constant changes in women"s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D. Fashion designers should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

doctor? How about an ice cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice
cream. Just ask John Harrison, an " Official Taste Tester" for the
past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product"s
quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for appro-
ving large quantities of sweet ice cream--as well as for developing
over 75 flavors(味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job;after all,
you just have to like ice cream,right? No-there"s more to the job
than that,says Harrison,who has a degree in chemistry. He points out
that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone
wanting a career in this "cool"field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses
60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about
12°F. Harrison explains, " You get more flavor from warmer ice
cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream
soup. "
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples
and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with
the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive
and asks himself, "Does the product have the colour expected
from that flavor?" Next it"s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors and test
samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison
busy but happy-working at one cool job.
B. An ice cream taster.
C. A chemist.
D. An ice cream manufacturer.
B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day
D. find out new flavors each day
B. He examines the colour of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
B. Flavors of Ice Cream.
C. John Harrison"s.
D. One Cool Job.

you? Even if you do nothing about it,your bad mood will probably go
away after some time. But with a little effort,you can forget
it much faster, often within a day or two.
◆ Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular way to remove bad mood. A person
who"s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a
fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders
towards changing that bad mood.
◆ Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions
go away quickly,because music starts associations with past positive
experiences we"ve had.
◆ Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what"s on your mind. Bad moods are often
started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper,
including the pessimistic ( 悲观的)messages you"ve been giving yourself
and then give optimistic answers.
◆ Avoid things that won"t improve your mood
TV may not help much. You need to increase your energy level
and stimulate your mind. And before you reach for that piece of
cake or coffee ,think about how are linked. Sugar and caffeine
contribute to depressed moods. While carbohydrates, such as potatoes
and pasta( 意大利面食) produce a calming effect in people
who have a desire for them.

stuck in an endless traffic jam?
Well ,the Spanish company StopStress is offering clients(客户 )
the possibility of doing just that-but in controlled ,safe conditions.
Clients can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets
in what the company calls" destructible therapy" ( therapy : treatment
of a medical disorder).
"We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern
life,"company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone inter-
view. "People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the ma-
chines until they are tired out. "he explained.
The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Soria, uses
deserted cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite
the clients. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and
huge hammers.
Most people"s rage only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go
on for hours : they beat cars on which they"ve put the names of people
or ideas they would like to get rid of.
"Some even get together to turn the car over, "Arribas says. A
session costs 60 euros(US $80)per person.
Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble
parking his car.
"Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people
become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down,"
Arribas explained.
"It"s better to channel violence in a controlled way than to get
it out on one"s husband and wife or in a traffic jam. "he added.
StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is
planning to extend its market beyond Spain"s borders.
B. destroy things they no longer need
C. get rid of stress by destroying things
D. get rid of stress by screaming and shouting
B. Mobile phones.
C. Deserted cars.
D. Protective suits and glasses.
B. a special way to get rid of stress
C. a new and expanding busines
D. how people deal with stress in Spain
B. go in separate ways
C. avoid
D. reduce
homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news
is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record
the beauties of nature.They can also bring things close that are
far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign
lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism.
At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture.
At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture
is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the
facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
Jacob Riis was among the first photojoumalists. He took pictures
of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed
that poverty(贫穷 )caused crime, and he used photos to help him
prove his point. A few years later,the photos of small children working
in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine"s pictures
helped bring about laws to protect such children.
Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one
or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come
out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses
feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they
see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record.
It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become
more important over time. Today photojournalists still have
their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish
(发表) them in books and on the Internet.
B. photos
C. goods
D. events
B. are popular ways of reporting news
C. often shock the public
D. can serve as a force for social change
B. Photos help people improve their life.
C. News photos mean history in a sense.
D. People prefer to read news with pictures.
B. decorating the walls of homes
C. publishing historical papers
D. expressing feeling through pictures
