There was an ancient Chinese story. A naughty boy Mencius and his family lived next to the cemetery(墓地). Mencius liked to hold a funeral(葬礼) just like people around. Mencius’ mother took him and moved to a market. Then Mencius and his neighbors’ children learned to buy and sell meat. Finally, they moved again and lived next to a school. In this neighborhood, people treated each other politely. Mencius’ mother thought that was the right living place for her son.
The story tells us the importance of people around us. For students, they can be role models.
In a study, I interviewed some students at Bingham High School. These teens have lots of opinions about role models.
Teens need role models to provide direction. Jeff Pratt said, “To have a role model helps you to decide where you want to go with your life.” A role model shows what a teen’s life could be like in the future. “Role models are people you admire, and those people that help make you a good person.” This is Spencer Park’s opinion of who role models are and why it is important to have them.
A role model is “someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,” said Natalie Bean.
When teens were asked “What is a role model like?”, the list included words such as, encouraging, inspiring, strong-willed, honest, ready to stand up for what they believe in, helpful, easy to talk to, talented and cheerful. Teens want to learn from their role models how to succeed and also how to carry on after failure.
Robbie Jenkins said, “Good role models are people that stand up for what is right and good.
Role models encourage and inspire.” Heidi Woolley said, “A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually. In this way, role models help build up a teen’s self-esteem.”
“The role models teens need are not the ones that appear in the media,” said Natalie Bean.
My study also shows students are quick to agree on that a true role model is not the person with the best job title, the greatest responsibility, or the greatest fame(名望). Anyone who inspires a child to achieve dreams in life can be a right role model.
1.The writer uses the story in Paragraph 1 to show that _______________.
A. People should have good habits.
B. People are influenced by others.
C. People are able to choose good neighbours.
D. People know how to choose a living place.
2.What do students at Bingham High School probably agree?
A. Role models stand up for what is right and social.
B. Anyone can inspire a child to achieve dreams in life.
C. Having a role model decides where to go with your life.
D. A teen can learn good qualities from a good role model.
3.What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean?
A. Self-respect. B. Self-control. C. Self-praise. D. Self-support.
4.What’s the writer’s main purpose in this passage?
A. To know what students’ role models do.
B. To tell how a teen learn from a role model.
C. To find out students’ ways to be a role model.
D. To share ideas of some teens about role models.

The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sneaker brands suddenly gained international attention. Their products were seen on models all over the world.

Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group said that the latest Chinese brands are no longer promoting (推销) themselves on the basis of their cheapness He told CNN. “They are ambitious (雄心勃勃的) and can go head to head with foreign brands”

But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols.”
In fact, many celebrities (名人) in the west now have an interest in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. US singer Rihanna, for example, wore a shiny and heavily embroidered yellow gown to the 2015 Met Gala to match the fashion theme “China: Through the Looking Glass”. The gown was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
