I bought a Paul Smith shirt three months ago. For those who don’t know, Paul Smith is an English designer brand.

His shirts cost about 1,000 yuan and upwards. I paid 50 yuan for my colorful shirt from a street vendor in Beijing.

Of course my shirt was a knockoff, a cheap copy of the brand. After a few washes, little balls formed on the surface of the thin material.

Do I care? Not at all. You get what you pay for.

I have to admit I hate shopping. I don’t care enough about spending money on clothes. I have other priorities.

In You Are What You Wear, US writer Jennifer Baumgartner says people’s clothes tell a story about their personality.

She writes: “The clothes you choose to wear provide important information about you as a person: your approximate education level, your income, social status and even your level of self-esteem (自信).” When I started work as an undercover crime reporter, I had to shop for jeans and a hoodie (连帽衫) in order to fit in with a rough and ready (世故的) social group.

I bought the hoodie in a charity shop. My daughters were shocked. They thought I looked bad, but I knew my disguise was perfect.

Elizabeth L. Cline thinks she knows best when it comes to cheap clothes in her book Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion. She expresses sadness that clothing has been turned into a good that is thrown away after being used once or twice.

She looks down her nose at cheap fashion and longs for the good old days when department stores sold quality clothes at high prices.

I don’t agree. At least people now can choose what to wear without breaking the bank.

1.The underlined sentence in the article meant that 　　　　　 .

A. I don’t mind spending money on clothes

B. there’s not much point spending money on clothes

C. it is too much trouble to spend money on clothes

D. I never spend money on clothes

2.From the text we can infer that the author’s disguise 　　　　　 .

A. immediately won the admiration of his daughters

B. turned out unsuited to his plan

C. proved that clothes can’t show a person’s true personality

D. had something to do with his income

3.The author mentions Elizabeth L. Cline’s book to 　　　　　 .

A. express his anger at the poor quality of clothes

B. show his disagreement with her idea

C. show his dislike for how people treat their clothes

D. support her attitude toward spending money on clothes

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the story?

A. The variety of clothes                        B. You are what you wear

C. High cost of cheap fashion                    D. You get what you pay for

Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.

Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹) from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.

I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑). The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.

In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.

Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.
