Three travelers, Allan, Carl and Paul were sitting on the chairs in a train station. They were waiting for a train that was very late.
To pass the time, they began talking to each other.
At first, they talked about the weather and their work. Then Paul said, "Tell me—what would you most like to do if your doctor tell you that you have only three months to live?"
The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.
―Well,‖ he said, ―if I have only three months to live, I‘ll take all my money out of the bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my best friend, Erik. I'd like to travel to the places in the world as many as possible. And I'll stay at the best hotels and then eat the best food. I think I'll have a wonderful time.‖―That's very interesting.‖ Paul said.
With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, ―And what about you?‖
―I'll tell you a secret,‖ Allan said. ―I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing I'd like to do is to sell my house. W ith the money I‘ll buy the fastest car in the world. Maybe I can enter all the big motor races.‖
Then he laughed, "I might even end up (以……而告终) world champion.‖
―Now it's your turn,‖ Allan went on, ―If your doctor tell you the bad news, what would you most like to do?‖
―Oh,‖ said Paul with a smile. ―I‘ll go and see another doctor.‖

Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
―In my opinion,‖ the first man said, ―the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.

The reporter turned to the third man. ―Do you think so?‖
―No, I don‘t.‖ he said. ―I don‘t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.‖
―Then what would make the visitor important?‖ the reporter and the other two men asked.

Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I co uldn‘t talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn‘t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn‘t remember doing so!
It doesn‘t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

For most people, the word ―fashion‖ means ―clothes‖. But people may ask the question, ―What clothes are in fashion?‖ And they use the adjective ―fashionable‖ in the same way:
―She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.‖
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
( )1. From this passage we know that ―fashion‖ means ______.
A. clothes
B. many things
C. most of the popular things
D. everything
( )2. Which of the following things is fashionable today?
A. Surfing on the Internet.
B. Having a family dinner on New Year‘s Day.
C. Learning to sing songs on the radio.
D. Doing morning exercises at school.
( )3. Today fashions change very quickly because _______.
A. people read newspaper every day
B. radios send information from one country to another
C. new things that people like are often shown on TV
D. people quickly learn what is happening in the world
( )4. ―There is money in fashion‖ means ______.
A. clothes are expensive
B. money comes from fashion
C. people like new things
D. fashions make big money
( )5. The best title for the passage is ______.
A. Fashions
B. Fashion mean clothes
C. Fashion means money
D.A fashionable colour
