Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most people of a country. A fashion usually keeps popular for 1-3 years and then is replaced by another fashion. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, most people do not easily hope for the changes.
Nowadays more and more young people prefer following the fashion. On this phenomenon(现象), different people have different opinions. It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be looked down or seem strange. But it is also held that one should have his or her own judgement(判断).
Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progessing and one should get used to the changes. In their opinions, if everyone always follows the old fashion, there won’t be any change and naturally there won’t be much progress. However, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn’t follow the fashion without having his or her own judgement and characters.
As for me, I agree with the second opinion. Of course, it’s good for people to keep up with the fashion, but this is not to say that people should follow the fashion blindly(盲目地). If all the people follow the same fashion, there will be no variety and the whole society will be boring.. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
| A．what the fashon is about |
| B．different people have different opinions about the fashion |
| C．whether one should follow the fashion or not |
| D．more and more young people prefer following the fashion |

| A．One should follow the fashion so that they won’t be looked down. |
| B．One should follow the fashion so that society is progressing. |
| C．One should follow the fashion so that people will have their own judgement. |

.We can tell from the story that the writer thinks we should _________.
| A．keep up with the same fashion |
| B．be against the fashion |
| C．say nothing about the fashion |
| D．follow the fashion by our own judgement |
What is the best title for the passage?

Every year on my birthday，from the time I was 12，a white gardenia（栀子花）was sent to my house．No card ever came with it．I made calls to the flower﹣shop，but the owner didn't know who the sender was，either．After a while I stopped trying to find out the sender's name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower，in soft pink paper．
I never stopped imagining who the giver might be，though．Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender．My mother encouraged these daydreams．She'd asked me if I had been especially kind to someone．Perhaps it was one of my classmates．Perhaps it was the old man．He lived across the street．I'd sent his mail during the winter．As a girl，though，I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met．
One month before my high school graduation，my father died．I was so sad that I became competely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance，and I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not．My mother，in her own sadness，however，would not let me miss any of those things．She wanted her children to feel loved．In fact，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia：lovely，strong and perfect，with perhaps a bit of mystery．

Steve Jobs was born on 24th February 1955in San Francisco，California．As a child，he often worked with his father or electronics．
In high school，he met Bill Fernandez and Steve Wozniak（or "Woz"）．Woz and Bill showed Jobs a computer board that they were building at the time．Jobs was very interested in it．
After high school，Jobs went to one of the best colleges in Oregon．However，he dropped out only after a few months．In the meantime，Woz worked for Hewlett﹣Packard，but found time to build his own computer．When Jobs saw what Woz had done，he could imagine that people would need it very much．
Together，they set up a company called Apple．Apple Computer became a big success，and this made Jobs a rich man．Unfortuantely，Jobs's personality（性格） made him very difficult to work with．He left Apple to set up another company．Soon，Apple started to do badly．Jobs returned to Apple and helped make the company successful again．

Many people travel to different places in the world by air．Usually it takes a long time，perhaps half a day，for passengers to stay in the plane．So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food．But it is common that they feel bad about food taste．Do you agree？
To solve this problem，airlines try hard to improve their food．They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers．
However，according to scientific research，part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground．Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off．As the plane moves up，the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）．So our taste buds become senseless．The sad face，however，is that our noses don't know it．
All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad．They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food．Without doing so，the food would be tasteless．
Now there are many researches on this．According to one of them，some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks．And scientists write down their feelings about food taste．
Though scientists try their best，it is not as easy as they thought．Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully，such as the change in air pressure，making food taste good is still hard for them．

Do you know that in some parts of the world，people build temporary（暂时的）hotels made of snow and blocks（大块）of ice？These are known as ice hotels．
Unlike usual hotels，all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice．In some ice hotels，even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks．So they only serve cold drinks．Also，hot food is not served in the ice hotels，but guests can eat hot food at places nearby．
To keep warm，guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses（床垫）and reindeer skins（驯鹿皮）．
There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated，such as the bathrooms．This is because，even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors（在户外），indoor temperatures are still very low．
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year．They can be used only during the winter months．The ice hotels melt（融化）away when spring arrives．The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers．So，when the ice hotels melt away，they melt back into the rivers．
