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 illustrate1 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 keen2 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 wig3 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 wigs4,
[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 beavers5,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 helping6 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 relevant7 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 shrink8 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 columns10.
[-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 shrank11 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 column9.
[-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.

[-1:59.00]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 principal14 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 affected15 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 inner16 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 hoop17 skirt.
[-2:27.00]2 Sneakers were first made in America in 1916.
[-2:28.00]3 Nylon18 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 underwear19 as children's clothing.
[-2:33.00]6 The wrinkled20 look was introduced in the 1980s.
[-2:34.00]Wrinkles are permanently21 pressed into material of clothing items,
[-2:35.00]such as shirts,skirts vests,blouses,jackets,and pants.
