When asked why he or she wears clothes，some people will probably answer "to keep warm and to cover my body"．These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn，but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others．
   If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies，most clothes would be simple and cheap．In most Western countries，however，clothes are sometimes very expensive．The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes．The clothes are expensive because of fashion（時(shí)尚）．
   Successful businessmen，for example，often wear very expensive suits，shirts and ties．Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie．It's just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer．A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well．
   Fashion is always changing，which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months，even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice．Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion．Being fashionable，therefore，can be a very expensive pastime（消遣）!

1．For hundreds of years，women in Myanmar's Kayan area have worn bronze rings around their necks and other parts of their body.The rings are a traditional symbol of beauty.They also extend the necks of the women，making them very long.
   But now，younger Kayan women are turning away from the tradition of their ancestors.Mu Tu is one of the few women who knows how to make the traditional rings and put them on.She is 48 years old.She says，"The shorter sets are easier to make.Everyone has their own preference.So if someone doesn't like what you've put on，you have to take it off and start over."
   83-year-old Maria Khaing has been wearing rings on her neck，wrists and knees since she was eight."My dad told me I looked like a boy，and he would buy me a gun to hunt as a man.But I said every girl is wearing the ring，so I want to wear the rings，too."Maria never removes the rings，even when cooking，eating or working."It is comfortable.At first it was hard but now it's fine.I eat and food goes down，"she said.
   Wearing neck rings was once expected of all Kayan women.But more and more have started toshun the practice.Maria's granddaughter，20-year-old Za Oo，is among those who have not kept with the tradition."They're heavy and uncomfortable.Also I don't know much about them，that's why I don't wear them，" she said.
   What is known is that besides extending the women's necks，the practice also crushes collarbones（鎖骨） and causes discomfort when swallowing.Even Mu Tu admits that safety is a concern."If you don't make the rings correctly，someone can choke，"she said.
   Whether safety or changing fashion，many young Kayan women are turning their backs on the tradition.Experts say there are now fewer than 100 long-neck women in Myanmar.That is down from about 300 to 400 in the 1990s.

（3）Za Oo didn't wear rings on her neck because

A．her father wanted her to be a hunter
B．she thought the practice not safe
C．she knew little about the tradition
D．she found it not fashionable to do so
（4）What can we learn from the passage？

A．The rings will always be a symbol of beauty to Kayan.
B．Many Kayan women know how to make neck rings.

D．Many long-necked Kayan women have removed the rings.

2．Plants grow well with enough sunshine and water.However，put in unfortunate conditions，they have no choice but to die.But what if plants could relocate to better places？
   It was this question that Sun Tianqi，founder of a Chinese robotics firm Vincross，asked himself while watching a dead sunflower. "I thought if it could have taken a 30 - foot walk out of the shadow to where the other sunflowers were，it would have lived healthily，" he said.
   He decided then to build a robot that would let plants do just that.The researchers took one of his company's traditional HEXA robot models and built a "flowerpot，" which replaced HEXA's shell.
   HEXA is a six - legged robot that comes complete with all the necessary sensors.The impressive plant robot can chase （追逐） the sun，hide for shelter，and perform a funny dance to indicate it is thirsty.
   Tianqi concluded， "Plants are passive.No matter if they are being cut，bitten，burned or pulled from the earth，or when they lack sunshine，water，or are too hot or cold，hey will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.They have the fewest degrees of freedom among all the creature in nature.This is simply the setting that nature gives to plants.I hope that this project can bring some inspiration to the relationship between technology and bad natural settings."

（1）What does Tianqi say about the plants？

A．Some plants cannot survive in bad surroudings.
B．Some plants chase the sun to acquire shelter.
C．Plants have a life cycle like humans.
D．Plants are important to the environment.
（2）What inspired Tianqi to build a plant robot？

A．His environmental awareness.
B．His love for sunflowers.
C．A broken flowerpot.
D．A dead flower.
（3）What do we know about the plant robot？

A．It is solar - powered.
B．It carries plants to move.
C．It feeds nutrients to plants.
D．It offers growers useful tips.
（4）What's the main idea of the last paragraph？

A．His robot needs much improvement.
B．Technology can set human beings free.
C．His robot has many useful future applications.
D．Technology can remove natural disadvantages.

3．How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face？Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures？Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
   New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However，how these expressions are interpreted（解釋） might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions.It was widely believed that six basic emotions （happiness，sadness，fear，anger，surprise and disgust） were expressed and recognized across different cultures.However，the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion.This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish（辨別）.Fear and surprise，for example，both share wide open eyes.The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
   So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions，how do we communicate a much more complex（復(fù)雜的） kind of feeling？The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures.However，while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition，scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures，the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
   What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research？This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.

（1）What did the University of Glasgow find？

A．Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B．Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C．It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D．Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
（2）Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion？

A．Sadness，fear，anger and surprise.
B．Anger，sadness，fear and happiness.
C．Happiness，surprise，sadness and fear.
D．Disgust，happiness，anger and sadness.
（3）What can we learn according to Paragraph 3？

A．Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B．Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.
C．Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D．The way to express emotions changes with time.
（4）Which is the proper title for the passage？

A．What Does Your Face Say？
B．How Do We Communicate？
C．What Are the Six Basic Emotions？
D．Do We Have the Same Expressions？
