[00:00.00]CHAPTER TWO READING page 18 Fashion [00:-1.00]Right,Debbie,it's your turn. [00:-2.00]Please come out and tell us your topic and then show us your objects. [00:-3.00]My topic is'Fashion'and to illustrate my talk , [00:-4.00]I have brought along five objects. [00:-5.00]Fashion is important to almost all of us. [00:-6.00]Now we are all wearing school uniform. [00:-7.00]When we go home,what do we do? We change into other clothes. [00:-8.00]If we are going out,we like to wear fashionable clothes. [00:-9.00]So my first object is this blouse. [00:10.00]It looks beautiful,doesn't it? [00:11.00]It is my most expensive piece of clothing,and I love it!It cost 360 yuan. [00:12.00]You may say that is very extravagant, [00:13.00]but luckily I could afford it with my own savings [00:14.00]It was not easy for me to earn some money in the summer vacation [00:15.00]but when you are buying clothes, [00:16.00]I think the more you spend,the better the quality, [00:17.00]So you see,fashion is quite important to me. [00:18.00]However,I am not as keen on fashion as my elder brother Gary. [00:19.00]Last summer,he won a free trip to London in a contest. [00:20.00]The organizers wanted to show him some famous sights. [00:21.00]But he did not appreciate the old buildings. [00:22.00]He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades, [00:23.00]searching for the coolest pair of trainers! [00:24.00]For him,fashion was more important than culture. [00:25.00]These are the trainers he bought. [00:26.00]Was it worth a trip to London to buy these? [00:27.00]I don't think so. [00:28.00]I think it was a waste of time and money. [00:29.00]We must,however,remember that fashion is very big business. [00:30.00]Changes in fashion can create or ruin jobs. [00:31.00]As an example,I have brought this blonde wig to show you. [00:32.00]Do you like it?It belongs to one of my mother's friends. [00:33.00]She told me that in the 1960s, [00:34.00]it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs, [00:35.00]and our city became the world centre of the wig-making industry. [00:36.00]But a few years later fashions changed [00:37.00]and women wore wigs much less often. [00:38.00]Then the wig factors closed down, [00:39.00]and hundreds of workers lost their jobs. [00:40.00]Next,I have something unusual,I'm holding a real top hat in my hands. [00:41.00]I borrowed it from a drama company. [00:42.00]Yes,you can pass it around. [00:43.00]Oh,please handle it more carefully! [00:44.00]I brought this to remind us about the effects of fashion on the natural world. [00:45.00]I'm reading a book on fashion at the moment,and it says in the book that Europeans started to wear top hats, [00:46.00]made from the skin of beavers,in the early 1800s. [00:47.00]These hats became very fashionable, and as a result [00:48.00]thousands of poor beavers in Canada and North America were killed. [00:49.00]Another example of this,of course,is fur coats. [00:50.00]Finally,we should remember the saying, [00:51.00]'never judge a book by its cover'. [00:52.00]Clothes will not make us more or less clever better or worse, [00:53.00]more or less honest. [00:54.00]I once saw a film on television about Mother Teresa. [00:55.00]She spent all her life helping poor people in Calcutta. [00:56.00]In 1979 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. [00:57.00]When she flew to Sweden to collect it, [00:58.00]she wore the same old clothes as usual, [00:59.00]and carried all her possessions in one little bag like this one, [-1:00.00]which I bought in a market. [-1:-1.00]It reminds us that fashion is not the most important thing in life. [-1:-2.00]That's all.Thank you for listening to me. [-1:-3.00]INTEGRATED SKILLSpage 23 [-1:-4.00]Selecting relevant information(1) [-1:-5.00]Exercise A [-1:-6.00]Listen to the speakers [-1:-7.00]Use information from the conversation to complete the table on page 23. [-1:-8.00]Right,we've finished all the tests on these jeans. [-1:-9.00]So let's complete the table of information. [-1:10.00]We've done the Daisy jeans results already, [-1:11.00]now here is the information about Rose's jeans. [-1:12.00]Man:How much do they cost? Woman:They're 280. [-1:13.00]Man:Right.How strong are they? [-1:14.00]Woman:They performed well in the tests. Give them three stars. [-1:15.00]And they didn't shrink very much,so give them three stars for that,too. [-1:16.00]Man:Are they colourfast? [-1:17.00]Woman:Yes,very good. Give them four stars for that. [-1:18.00]Man:Right.Now,what about a comment? [-1:19.00]Woman:Well,they are attractive and not too expensive. [-1:20.00]Man:All right.I'll put,attractive and inexpensive. [-1:21.00]So that's Rose jeans finished.Now,tell me about Lily jeans. [-1:22.00]Woman:Let me see.Lily jeans,well,they cost 440. [-1:23.00]But they are not really very strong. [-1:24.00]We'll just give them two stars for that. [-1:25.00]Man:Did they shrink at all,in the water? [-1:26.00]Woman:No,not at all, and the colour doesn't run off either. [-1:27.00]So,give them four stars for both of these columns. [-1:28.00]Man:Right,and what about a comment to some of them? [-1:29.00]Man:Oh,I should say,quite good quality but expensive. [-1:30.00]Woman:Quite good quality,but expensive. [-1:31.00]Man:Ok,now the last pair,Iris jeans. [-1:32.00]Woman:Well,Iris jeans cost 360,and they are very strong, [-1:33.00]give them four stars for that. [-1:34.00] but shrank a lot when they were washed,they became much smaller. [-1:35.00]So,just give them two stars for that,and the same for the next column. [-1:36.00]The purple colour came out in the water, [-1:37.00]so they are not very colourfast,just two stars. [-1:38.00]Man:And a comment? [-1:39.00]Woman:I think we'll say strong but poor test results. [-1:40.00]Man:Strong,but poor test results.Good, that's all finis now. [-1:41.00] SPEAKING page 31 [-1:42.00]A The intonation of lists. [-1:43.00]When you read a list,your voice should go up at the end of each phrase, [-1:44.00]and down at the end of the list. [-1:45.00]There should be a short pause after each comma,and before the last 'and'. [-1:46.00]Exercise A1 [-1:47.00]1 I like grapes,pears, melons and mangoes. [-1:48.00]2 My friend Mike collects stamps, [-1:49.00]coins,tickets, matchboxes,comics and hundred dollar notes. [-1:50.00]3 Please buy me six cans of Coke, [-1:51.00]two bottles of lemonade, four packets of gum, [-1:52.00]ten bags of peanuts and twenty bars of chocolate. [-1:53.00]4 My grandma went shopping and she bought a long white car, [-1:54.00]a house with a swimming pool, [-1:55.00]a small jet aeroplane and three Pacific islands. [-1:56.00]5 Michelle is wearing a short sleeved white blouse, [-1:57.00]a long blue skirt,black high heeled shoes and a silk scarf. [-1:58.00]MORE LANGUAGE INPUT [-1:59.00]Reading page 34 [-2:00.00]Uniform fashion good for young students. [-2:-1.00]In a recent speech,Mr Clinton praised student uniforms as a way to promote safety and discipline in public schools. [-2:-2.00]Ms Linda Moore,the principal of Rogers Middle School in California, [-2:-3.00]felt most pleased with the President's comment. [-2:-4.00]'Everybody is looking for answers, [-2:-5.00]and here is a district that is doing something that is working,'she said. [-2:-6.00]The 83,000-student Long Beach district [-2:-7.00]requires its elementary and middle school students to dress in uniform fashion. [-2:-8.00]Nearly 60,000 students are affected by the policy. [-2:-9.00]It is the first public school district in America to do so. [-2:10.00]Since students at Rogers Middle School started wearing black bottoms, [-2:11.00]white tops,and red jackets or sweaters, [-2:12.00]the number of fights has dropped by 40%, [-2:13.00]and academic performance has improved. [-2:14.00]A recent survey shows that in the district's 56 elementary and 14 middle schools, [-2:15.00]violence and discipline problems have decreased dramatically [-2:16.00]since the policy was introduced. [-2:17.00]Although some students complain that the uniform dress is monotonous, [-2:18.00]many see a positive side. [-2:19.00]'The good thing is people judge you on your inner characteristics rather than what you wear,' [-2:20.00]said Nick Duran,an 8th grader at Rogers Middle School. [-2:21.00]'Plus,'he said ,'it's easier to choose what to put on in the morning.' [-2:22.00]Listening page 35 [-2:23.00]Listen and match the column of fashion items [-2:24.00]with the column of their first appearing time. [-2:25.00]1 In 1470,to hide a pregnancy, [-2:26.00]queen Juana of Portugal wore the first hoop skirt. [-2:27.00]2 Sneakers were first made in America in 1916. [-2:28.00]3 Nylon stockings were invented in 1938. [-2:29.00]4 Shoulder-bags for woman first appeared as part of service uniforms in 1940. [-2:30.00] During the world war two. [-2:31.00]5 In the 1960s,paper clothes were made for the public, [-2:32.00]they were disposable and used for underwear as children's clothing. [-2:33.00]6 The wrinkled look was introduced in the 1980s. [-2:34.00]Wrinkles are permanently pressed into material of clothing items, [-2:35.00]such as shirts,skirts vests,blouses,jackets,and pants.
