I think we（）buy this one. We're not going to find anything cheaper.

She told her parents that she had decided to marry him,（）a prince or a pauper.

Fashion is something we deal with every day. Even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning then say a lot about them and how they feel that day.One certain thing in the fashion world is change. We are constantly being showered with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Movies also have a big impact on what people wear. Ray-Ban sold more sunglasses after the movie Men in Black. Sometimes a fashion is worldwide. Back in the 1950s, teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley.Fashion and styles reveal what groups people are in, but they also create stereotypes and distance between groups. For instance, a businessman might look at a boy with green hair and piercings as an outsider. But to another person, he dresses a certain way to deliver the message of rebellion and separation, but within that group the look is uniform. The acceptance or rejection of a style is a reaction to the society we live in.Fashion is a language which tells a story about the person who wears it. “Clothes create wordless means of communication that we all understand,” according to Katherine Hamnett, a top British fashion designer. Hamnett became popular when her T-shirts with large messages like “Choose Life” were worn by several rock bands.Fashion is an endless popularity contest. High fashion is the style of a small group of men and women with a certain taste and authority in the fashion world. People of wealth and position, buyers for major department stores,editors and writers for fashion magazines are all part of high fashion. Some of these expensive and often artistic fashions may triumph and become the fashion for the larger majority. Most stay on the runway.Popular fashions are close to impossible to trace. No one can tell how the short skirts and boots worn by teenagers in England in 1960 made it to the runways of Paris or how blue jeans became so popular in the U. S., or how hip-hop made it from the street of Bronx to the fashion shows of London and Milan.“In the perspective of costume history,it is plain that the dress of any given period is exactly suited to the actual climate of the time.” according to James Laver,a noted English costume historian. How did bell-bottom jeans fade from the designer jeans and boots look of the 1980s into the baggy look of the 1990s? Nobody really knows.1.According to the second paragraph, the example that teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley in the 1950s shows that（）2.A boy with green hair and multiple piercings （） .3.Which of the following is not included among popular fashions?4.Which of the following is not true of fashion in terms of this passage?

Defenders of special protective labor legislation for women often maintain that eliminating such laws would destroy the fruits of a century-long struggle for the protection of women works. Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruit of such laws has been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a curse than a blessing.Sex-defined protective laws have often been based on stereotypical assumptions concerning women’s needs and abilities, and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for discriminating against women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and government sought to persuade women to vacate jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning veterans. The revival or passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently accomplished this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment or promotion in their factory, and women could be quite legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By validating such laws when they are challenged by lawsuits, the courts have colluded over the years in establishing different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time, even the most well-intentioned lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and the courts continue to permit employers to offer employee health insurance plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those relating to pregnancy and childbirth.Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, pose reproductive risks for women of childbearing years; manufacturers using the chemicals comply with laws protecting women against these hazards by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined legislation protects the hypothetical female worker, but has no affected whatever on the safety of any actual employee. The health risks to male employees in such industries cannot be negligible, since chemicals toxic enough to cause birth defects in fetuses or sterility in women are presumably harmful to the human metabolism. Protective laws aimed at changing production materials or techniques in order to reduce such hazards would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.In sum, protective labor laws for women are discriminatory and do not meet their intended purpose. Legislators should recognize that women are in the work force to stay, and that their needs-good health care, a decent wage, and a safe workplace-are the needs of all workers. Laws that ignore these facts violate women’s rights for equal protection in employment.1. According to the author, which of the following resulted from the passage or revival of state laws limiting the work hours of women workers? .2.According to the first paragraph of the passage, the author considers which of the following to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor legislation for women?3.The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are（）.4.The author implies that which of the following is characteristic of many employeehealth insurance plans?5.According to the passage, special labor laws protecting women workers tend generally to have which of the following effects?
