Who decided that blue jeans and T-shirts are “cool” for ids to wear today? Who designs the clothes you see for sale in stores? All of these questions concern the world of fashion.
Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, eeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this it always changes!
In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jacson made parachute pants (降落伞裤) all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!
Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular
culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, television shows, boos and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they see out the latest fashions to mae themselves loo lie the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.
For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more epensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.
Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always O to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — spea for who you are!
24. The eamples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 suggest that _____.
A. fashion always changes B. stars are always influential
C. people have different dressing styles D. hippies and Michael Jacson are good designers

27. We can learn from the tet that _____.
A. fashion is all about clothes B. the author has gone out of fashion
C. clothes may separate and distance people D. people lie imitating others’ dressing style

Scientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male.
Much lie wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risy situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, laes or sinholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.
Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who new the landscape and directed her group away from danger.
\
mammoths had a much higher ris of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, roc cracs and laes, \report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.
The study used genetic data to determine the se of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced se ratio, assuming that the sees were fairly even at birth.
\record,\History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tuss, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived,\
\preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.\
These giant, tused plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most
believe that climate change, ecessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.

It?s no secret that American infrastructure is aging. Concrete(混凝土) structures, in particular, are in desperate need of repair.
Cracs (缝隙) are very common due to various chemical and physical phenomena that occur during everyday use, which can be quite harmful as they provide an easy route in for liquids and gasses and the harmful substances they might contain. But continuous repair wor is difficult because it usually requires a huge amount of labor and investment. So since 2013, I?ve been trying to figure out how these harmful cracs could heal themselves without human involvement. The idea was originally inspired by the amaing ability of the human body to heal itself of cuts, bruises and broen bones. In the same way, can we provide necessary products to concrete to fill in cracs when damage happens?
