Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms. When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It costs over $600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it.However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some fashion sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expense of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde wig to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for Western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.36. The writer is at the moment ______.A. selling some fashionable clothesB. buying the coolest school uniformsC. making a speech to the fellow studentsD. traveling to London37. According to the passage, the author showed all these objects EXCEPT ______.A. the blonde wigB. the expensive blouseC. the cool trousersD. the school uniform38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author doesn’t like fashion as much as her elder brother.B. At one time, wearing wigs was fashionable for Western women.C. Fashion is important to people who like it.D. The higher the price is, the better the quality is.39. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Wigs were always popular in the past.B. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigs.C. Fashion is actually a business.D. Business often depends on the production of wigs.BThe quality of citizens, the progress of culture, the prosperity of a country, and the advancement of social affairs are all determined by education. The persons who are responsible for achieving this great target are teachers who are being described as “the architect of human spirit”.It is, by no means, an over-statement that teaching profession is the noblest profession. However, what is shocking is that teachers are losing their status day by day in today’s society. Nowadays, only those who cannot find a job elsewhere have no other choice but to be teachers.As far as I can remember, when we were students, we had to greet our teachers whenever and wherever we met them. Teachers were trusted by parents and society and were regarded almost as saints (圣人). Nevertheless, in a short span of a decade, these “privileges (特权)”seem to have disappeared like bubbles. Some students treat their teachers as strangers the moment they leave the classroom.The reasons why teachers’status is low in the present society are complex (复杂的). No matter how “sacred”a profession is, there are certainly some black sheep in it. They are the ones who have spoilt the good reputation of teachers.Another reason is that Eastern traditional virtues and manners are being destroyed. Thus, students no longer pay great respect to their teachers.It could also be due to the little chance of promotion that teaching profession offers. This directly affects the quality of teachers. In the eyes of the public, teachers are those who graduated with average or even poor results while those who came out with flying colors are always unwilling to teach.Teachers’status has some connection with the success of education and education has much to do with the future of the nation and individuals. Therefore, it is our immediate task to upgrade the teachers’status.40. In this passage the author mainly talks about ______.A. teachers’qualityB. teachers’educationC. teachers’reputationD. teachers’status41. How many reasons are mentioned for the falling of teachers’status in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.42. The underlined part “come out with flying colors”in the last but one paragraphprobably means _______.A. prefer color paintingB. change jobs oftenC. graduate with honorsD. have high intelligence43. In the author’s opinion, _______.A. none of teachers should be respected by students and their parentsB. it is “the black sheep”of the teachers that have spoiltteachers’good reputationC. students don’t need to gain knowledge from their teachersD. people should pay no attention to the teachers’status being lowCTravel Tips from the Budget TravelerPlan in advance.Passengers planning to travel by plane or train should buy their tickets at least one week before the trip. You can save money that way. There are often special airfares and rail fares if you buy your ticket more than 7 days or 14 days in advance.Shop around.Not all travel agencies or airlines change the same amount of money for airline tickets to the same place. It’s a good idea to call several different places to get the best deal. Sometimes you can find really good flight prices on the Internet.Stay over a Saturday night.Some airlines offer low airfares if you stay over a Saturday night. This is because they want to attract the pleasure travelers. Pleasure travelers are usually able to stay over on a Saturday night. Business travelers usually want to be home with their families on Saturday nights.Take a boat.For some destinations, traveling by plane is not the only choice available. Most people travel from Japan to Korea or China, for example, by plane. This is because plane travel is quick and convenient. But you can make the journey by boat, instead. It takes more time, of course, but there are usually cheap deals for boat passengers—and you have lots of time to enjoy the journey.Travel with a friend or in a group.Traveling in a group is often a good way to save money. If you travel in a group of 10 or more, you can usually get a good deal from airlines. Also, when you rent a car, you can share the cost instead of paying for it yourself. In addition, sharing with another traveler can help get a cheap room price at a hotel.Join a Frequent Travel Program.Many airlines offer special programs for regular travelers. These are called “Frequent Travel Programs”or “Frequent Flyer Programs”. Every time you take their plane, you get points. When you have enough points, you can get free flights from the airline.44. A cheaper air ticket may be got by all of the following means EXCEPT ______.A. trying different travel agencies and airlinesB. buying a ticket ahead of timeC. buying a ticket on lineD. shopping around the city45.

Joining a Frequent Traveler Programme can help you get flights for freeevery time.D.
