Fashion, a term that is related to clothes, accessories(配饰), hairstyles and so on, is like a wind and is changing rapidly. From school-aged kids to working adults, everybody wants to look best. Fashion is promoted mostly by TV advertisements and celebrities. Many people define their fashion statement as comfort. They wear whatever they feel comfortable. 1.You can't wear a jogging suit to attend a wedding, and similarly you won't wear a dress to jog.
Nowadays, fashion has become one common language for people all over the world. It helps to connect people internationally, because it travels from one city to another. Sometimes, fashion can be an inspiration for many to discover their hidden potential. 2.In other words, fashion inspires some people to extend their knowledge and creativity to turn their hobby into a career. And therefore, fashion offers employment opportunities to those who dream of being part of the fashion industry.
Besides, following your own fashion statement makes you a more independent thinker. If you think you have the ability to wear fashion clothes, then it gives you a great deal of confidence. It also helps you make new friends easily. If you share the same interest with other people, then communicating with them won't be difficult. 3.
However, there are also negative impacts of fashion. For example, today some students focus more on fashion instead of their studies. They want to know everything about fashion but little about their schooling. 4. Besides, people experimenting with their hair or skin often forget about the allergies(过敏) they need to face due to using such products.
In a word, fashion will not be harmful to our society if we learn to keep a balance between our studies and interests. There is no harm in being fashionable. 5. So following fashion trends should be done within limits.
A. Of course, you need to consider the occasion, too.
B. This is one of the major negative impacts on students.
C. You will have a common topic to start your discussion.
D. A fashion usually remains popular for about one to three years.
E. But don t let it have a bad effect on your way of life and career.
F. Clothing can be decorated or designed with all types of images and colors.
G. And it encourages people to attend fashion schools and make something out of their careers.

London Fashion Week will not feature any animal fur clothes or accessories(配饰) on the runway this year, making it the first fur-free major fashion week.
In a statement, the BFC said: "The BFC survey results reflect a cultural change not only based on ideals and choices made by designer businesses, international brands as well as consumer feeling but also encouraged by the attitude of multi-brand stores who are moving away from selling fur.”
There is increasing pressure from anti-fur protesters(抗议者) to ban fur or boycott designers that use the material. During last year's London Fashion Week, there were 250 anti-fur protesters, The Guardian reported, and a show in February saw an activist storm the stage at a Mary Katrantzou show. Following the incident, Mary Katrantzou's team made a statement insisting that the collection was animal fur-free and “only man-made fur was used.”
Ahead of this year's fashion week, set to take place from September 14 to 18, an open letter written by singer Paloma Faith and published by Peta also called for a ban of animal fur.
The letter read: “The BFC shouldn't be approving a material whose production is considered so cruel that it is outlawed in the UK. With the vast number of cutting- edge, eco-friendly man-made furs available on the market today, I'm sure you'll agree that there's no longer any excuse for killing animals for their fur.”
London Fashion Week's fur-free runway follows a similar policy recently adopted by Burberry Design to end the use of fur including rabbit, fox, mink, racoon, and angora wool, as is confirmed by Burberry CEO Marco Gobbetti in an interview with Business of Fashion.
The BFC's news has been met with support from people on social media, who have applauded the designers choosing to give up the use of animal fur.
“I am so excited that fur has been banned from London Fashion Week! Progress!” Faith wrote on Twitter.
Another said: “London Fashion Week is ditching fur and leading the way towards a fur-free future in fashion.”
1.Why are examples of last year's London Fashion show and Mary Katrantzou show in February are given in paragraph 3?
A.To compare the two fashion shows.
B.To prove Mary Katrantzou was wronged.
C.To show pressure from anti-fur protesters.
D.To indicate the popularity of London Fashion Show.
2.Why does Paloma Faith think there is no excuse for killing animals for their fur?
A.It is expensive to kill animals for fur.
B.BFC has banned the use of animal fur.
C.Production of animal fur is illegal in the world.
D.Good Man-made furs are available on the market.
3.What's the ordinary people's attitude towards the first fur-free major fashion week ?
A.Critical. B.Ambiguous.
C.Favorable. D.Indifferent.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The BFC reports a cultural change in fashion.
B.London Fashion Week will be fur free this year.
C.Famous singer writes open letter to ban animal fur.
D.Animal fur is sure to be replaced by man-made fur.

They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．
Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．” Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．

Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years．She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women.

What is ecofashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.
1. Firstly, the production of textiles(纺织品)pollutes the environment heavily. Cottonplanting uses pesticides(杀虫剂)；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings.2.Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now so quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
3.To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable (可持续的)materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. 4.
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but in fact, more and more people are concerning about this and we can make sure that doesn’t happen.5.
A. Then, how to solve the problems?
B. They relate directly to our personal health.
C. Because choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.
D. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water.
E. The fashion industry has developed quickly.
F. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
G. A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems.

What is ecofashion？Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers two aspects of fashion —‘ecological’ and ‘ethical’．Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion？A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly，the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cottonplanting uses pesticides；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；syntheticsmaking (人造纤维生产) brings about waste which does harm to our environment. Secondly，every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy，and some also involve harmful chemicals. In addition to this，there is a lot of waste produced in the process，especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly，growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment，and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then，how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree，it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint，from switching to green energy and reducing energy use，through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand，as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
There is some concern that eco friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.
| Why choose eco-fashion? | ||
| 1. of fashion | Ecological | Textile & clothing production processes; Issues related to 2. |
| Ethical | Working 3. involved | |
| Problems with fashion | Textile 4. | Cotton-planting: use of pesticides; Sheepfarming & woolcleaning: global warming; Synthetics-making: 5. waste |
