The word “shanzhai” originally means “mountain village”，but it means “copy” in Chinese now.

I started to research this topic and found a whole new shanzhai world. There are shanzhai products and online games， even shanzhai culture. It is so popular that some people say to each other “have you shanzhaied today”? Like it or not， shanzhai has become part of our life in China.

I even met an American IT professional recently who has just had his shanzhai mobile phone. He was so proud of it and would not stop talking about all the functions while showing off the look of his phone. I could hardly see the back cover as he had stuck fake logos(假冒标记）“IPhone”， “Nokia” & “LG” on it.

But why has shanzhai become so popular in China? Why do over 50 percent of the people surveyed by CCTV support it? Firstly， many may not realize it but for Chinese people， the word “shanzhai’’ also reminds us of ‘‘the heroes of Liang shan”. Secondly， there would be no shanzhai without the Internet. Shanzhai has caught the interest of millions of Chinese online.

There are also shanzhai celebrities. Many shanzhai singers can be seen performing in some remote places where people cannot see performances by the actual “real” stars. These events are very successful， even though people know that they are not getting the “real” thing.

1. Shanzhai means ______ today.

2.Shanzhai is a popular word in ______.

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 color.”

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.
