For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration激励,鼓舞 for Western creativity.
" It's nо secret that China has always been а source (来源) оf inspiration fоr designers," says Amanda Hill, a chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows .
芹巧物 Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art 艺术品 , with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled(fuel v. 加强,刺激) the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
"China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns 运动,活动 that sell dreams to women all over the world , which means Chinese women are not just不仅仅 consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement." Of course , not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China — some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on(take on sth 接管) Galliano, Albaz, Mare Jacobs — and beating them hands down(beat sb hands down 轻松击败某人) in design and sales," adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models , and s o are the consumers(so be/do/have/情态动词 sb/sth. ...也是), " she says. "China is no longer just 不再仅仅是 another market; in many senses(在很多意义上) , it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China — its influences, its direction, its breathtaking(breathtaking adj. 激动人心的) clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging 承认,认可 that in many ways ."

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money , but at that time these amounts were forbidding(forbidding adj. 可怕的,令人生畏的) to most citizens. Accordingly 于是, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition , most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to(sth appeal to sb. 对...有吸引力;使感兴趣) a mass audience. They were ll and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place(take place 发生) in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" — a term referring to(refer to sth. 提到,谈到) papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street .
This development did not take place overnight . It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to(go down to sw. 去往某地) the printer's office to purchase a . Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years , street sales of newspapers would be commonplace 普遍的 in eastern cities. At first , the price of single copies was seldom a penny — usually, two or three cents was charged(charge v. 收费,要价) — and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy(catch/take sb's fancy 吸引某人,中某人的意) , and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业 ) were immediate failures . Publishers already in business在营业中 , people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring(daring adj. 勇敢的,敢于冒险的) businessmen to get the ball rolling(set/start/get the ball rolling 着手做,开始做,带头做).

Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of(consist of sth 由...构成) numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined — or added — the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages, the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side, two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash(flash v. 快速地显示) on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen, they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers — 17 in this example.
After running hundreds of 数以百计的 tests, the researchers noted 指出,留意到 that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to(tend to do sth 倾向于做某事) underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value — sometimes choosing, for example , a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic 有条理的,成体系的 : When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two and then added only a fraction (小部分) of the smaller number to it.
"This indicates 显示 that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one." (pay attention to sth)

篇一:英语阅读理解练习(附答案)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K.Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.
A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”
There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you think ing and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software into your computer. And, check with a parent or alt before visiting any new website.
Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or, visit ancient monuments and watch the changing rainforests over time. With the moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstron g’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
1. According to Russell, the kids _________.

A. we can find much information we need online
B. Neil Ar mstrong traveled to the moon alone
C. the kids can download programs onto the computer freely
D. the kids can visit the new website freely without parents’ guidance
3. According to the passage, if you want to go to Tropical Rainforests, you can _________.
A. take the time shuttle B. go to the cinema to watch 3-D films
C. find a travel agency in Google D. use Google Earth
4. The passage is mainly intended for _________.
A. parents B. kids C. teachers D. alts
5. In which section of a website can we probably read this passage?

篇二:阅读理解
A
Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams—not to succeed but to fail. “It’s unbelievable!” he said. “Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”
“Yes, she has,” said Mama. “But it’s not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”
“Wanted off the swimming team?” said Papa. “She never said anything about that to me.”
“Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldn’t have been much fun.”
“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. “I’ve been so stupid! I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.”
“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama. “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”
Papa put his head in his hands.
“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled. “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”
Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.
“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”
Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Yippee!” she cried.
“And,” added Papa, “there’s no need for any more drills. I’m sure you’ll bring your grades back up all by yourself.”
Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug. “I’m going to go p lay cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”[
From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy’s house.
“It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama.
“It sure is,” Papa agreed. “As for the swimming team, there’s always next year.”
“If?” Mama prompted him.
“Oh, right,” said Papa. “If she wants to.”
Mama smiled. “At least you’re learning, dear,” she said. She kissed him.
“Well, you know what they say,” Papa said. “Better late than never.”
1. Sister wanted off the swimming team because _____.
A. she was not as good at swimming as ever before
B. she intended to improve her grades in her studies
C. she wanted to play cards far more than swimming
D. she felt it boring to struggle for Papa’s expectation
2. Mama insisted that the child should do _____.
A. what she was willing to B. what she felt easy to
C. what she was able to D. what she felt right to
3. What do you think of Papa?
A. Cruel but reasonable. B. Crazy but confident .
C. Stu bborn but honest. D. Ambitious but considerate.
4. Which might be the proper title for the passage?
A. Easier Said Th an Done B. Health Is Better Than Wealth
C. Better Late Than Never D. Something Is Better Than Nothing

篇三:阅读理解
ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pas s.They couldn’t get aro und me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.

A.they offer their help

C.they feel others’ kindness
D.they show their weakness
( )2.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.
A.he has a soft heart
B.he relies much on others
C.some people pretend to be kind

A.They speeded up to pass.
B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They put on their flashlights too.
( )4.In this passage, the author advises us to ________.
A.handle problems by ourselves
B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness
D.show our bravery
( )5.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.A Wheelchair Experience.
B.Weakness and Kindness.
