It is not cool to follow the fashion trends wear the latest clothes. Your style—the way you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow—plays a key role in helping you stand out in a crowd of faces. 1.

Just be original. Everyone has their own way or thinking and experiences that shape their style. You can stand out of the crowd and be not copied. However, self-doubt can drive many to abandon their ways and follow others. 2.

To be bold. Let’s face it; you can’t please everyone. 3.In fact, explore and experiment with different styles that may be completely non-conventional(非常规的) to find something that you prefer.

Keep track of recent trends. 4.Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experience in life. Keeping up with the latest trends will help you reshape your style.

5.You can wear a dress exactly how you want it, however, your attitude can make a significant difference on how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if you can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you. So trust yourself and wear it confidently.

A. Wear your confidence.

B. You should discover your true feeling.

C. You can and should have your own style.

D. So let your style reflect your individuality.

E. Also, it tells a lot of things about your personality.

F. Changing trends reflects the changes in people’s taste.

G. You have to face people who do not approve of your fashion sense.

Today, whether or not you follow the latest trends, one’s fashion and choice of dress is a reflection of one’s individual style and tastes. Can you still remember how you dressed at the start of China’s opening-up? Today’s program is one of a special series commemorating （纪念） the 30th anniversary of reform and opening-up in China. In these two episodes we focused on fashion and style and were honored to invite two special guests to join us in studio—Ms. Zhang Ling from Raffles-BICT Inter-national College and Alex from Esquire magazine.

When we talk about fashion, color is absolutely crucial. A color can reflect the mood of an individual person or the spiritual temperament（性情） of entire society or age. Mrs. Zhang and Alex talked about the colors which have left the greatest impression on them. In the 1960s and 70s, blue and grey were the dominant colors at the time and people had limited choices to dress up. But fast forward to the present, you will find no difficulty in choosing from array(大批) of vivid colors in the market.

We also gave our guests a list of keywords—traditional brands, jeans, DIY, international brands, personal dress for them to choose from in order to represent the fashion of their generation. We find out that for every keyword our guest chose, there was a special story behind it. Some of the stories brought us back to old times—we even brought some vintage(古老的) clothing from the 60s and 70s up on stage and invited some audience members to try them on.

When we mention fashion, we must mention brand. With increasing disposable（可自由使用的） income and purchasing power of the Chinese, many luxury brands have flocked into China. However, you could imagine in 1980s, when the first inter-national brand came to China, it unveiled（展示） a fashion storm among the Chinese.

1.  China’s opening-up dates back to _______.

2. All of the following EXCEPT _______ are keywords in representing the fashion of our generation.

3.  The fact that many luxury brands have flocked into China shows that _______.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

The latest fashion in the kitchen is the food steamer．All the stores are selling them；everyone wants one．Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However，that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods．In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer，I’ve done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．

Folding Steamer

The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel(不锈钢)version．

Advantages：This is a good，basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of　 pans with the water under it；a ring in the centre allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．

Disadvantages：It only holds small dishes．Also，if you put too much water in the pan，it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery．If you put too little water in and let it get dry，you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．

Steaming Pan

This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled　 steamers，which sits on the oven ring．The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．

Advantages：This is an excellent steamer, lightweight，easy to clean，and of all the steamers I’ve tried，this cooks the fastest．Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top．It’s easier to store．

Disadvantages：Water can boil away until the pan is dry，but if you make sure you fill the　 pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food，this should not happen．You cannot　 see the food cooking from the top．It doesn’t supply a dish for cooking rice．

For serious users of steamers，I recommend having one of each version．If you just want　 to try it，get the folding stainless-steel type．

1.The food steamer is popular with people because ________________．

A．it can save time and money

B．food can be cooked simply and healthily

C．it is easy to clean and store

D．it is available in any store

2.Which of the following is true about the folding steamers?

A．They are cheap and easy to use．

B．They are difficult to clean．

C. They can hold all kinds of dishes．

D．You can put little water in the pan．

3.When you use the steaming pan，_________

A．you can overcook the food

B．you can only cook rice

C．you feel it’s heavy to carry

D．you should pour proper amount of water
