Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale (销
售). There are labels (标签)inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care
of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater
label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry
clean only". Washing may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions (说明) say on
the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new
clothes, check (核实) to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if
you buy clothes that can be washed. You can save money if you buy clothes that are well
made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many
times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit (合
身) better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive
clothes.

Dear Lan Lan, I"m now writing to you at Hartsop, a village in the Lake District, a place to have most beautiful scenery (景色) in English couple here to spend Christmas with them. This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with British families. We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing (有趣的), but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality (好客) of the family, Roger and Anne Marie. Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know. After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling, instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved. How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about "when we go back home next year…" and soon we will turn this into "when we go back home THIS year…" for the New Year"s Day is coming. Miss you. Love Cao Wen | |||

People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence (智力) as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things. Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so. Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung (易紧张). Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient (耐心) and understanding. The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth. | |||

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping 1 he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in 2 . He knows what he wants, and his goal is to find it and 3 it. All men 4 walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock (库存), the deal can be done and 5 is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat to everyone"s 6 . For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn"t have what he wants. In that 7 , the salesman tries to sell something else-he 8 the nearest to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute (替代品) 9 , and he may say, "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It 10 to be the colour you mentioned." Few men have 11 with this treatment, and the usual response is "This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I shouldn"t be 12 my time and yours by trying it on." For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the 13 way. Her shopping is not often 14 on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always 15 to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that 16 thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected 17 . Faced with a roomful dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another 18 selecting the dress she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) 19 one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting 20 . | |||
