Many little girls like flowers, watching butterflies and riding small horses. A lot of them also like cars, robots and spaceships. But most girls’ clothing only has pictures of flowers, butterflies or horses.
Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.
Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars. So her dress has pictures of cars on it.
“We haven’t found this type of dress in the store,” Cathy, Bella’s mother, says.
The car dress is from a new girl’s clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys’ clothes.
It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships.
“One day when I walked through a girls’ store. I thought to myself I wish they’d make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone should do that. Maybe I should do that.” Rebecca said.
Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand(扩展）their business online. Their products sold very well there, too.
“They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory,” Rebecca said.
So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. The women raised more than $215,000 within days, far more than the $35,000 they expected.
“Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,” Rebecca said.
The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.
24. Bella’s clothing is special because it has pictures of ________.
A. flowers B. horses C. cars D. butterflies
25. Princess Awesome was started ________.
A. by Cathy and Rebecca B. because of six-year-old Bella
C. with the help of a girls’ store D. to make unusual clothing for girls
26. The dresses made by Rebecca and her friend ________.
A. sold better online than at the market
were popular among girls
C. helped them get a job in a factory
D. were sold expensively
27. What is the most difficult thing Rebecca and her friend will face
A. How to expand their business as people expected.
B. How to make interesting products.
C. Raising enough money for their business.
D. Meeting the needs of all girls.

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater. Employees were busy sweeping up popcorn and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater's location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town." he said. "Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. It will be missed.
28. In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special
A. It made room for new equipment.
B. It signaled the close-down of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience.
D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
29.Why was The Last Picture Show put on
A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it. D. The theater owner found it suitable.
30.What will probably happen to the building
A. It will be repaired. B. It will be tuned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down. D. It will be sold to the city government.
31.What can we infer about the audience
A. They are disappointed with Bradford.
B. They are sad to part with the old theater.
C. They are supportive of the city officials.
D. They are eager to have a shopping center.
D
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps，after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors.There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) prefer blue to yellow.A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的) colors around us.
32．The passage is mainly about .
A．color blindness
B．women being luckier than men
C．danger caused by color blindness
D．color and its surprising effects
33．According to the passage，with the help of the “cones”，we can .
A．tell different shapes
B．see in a weak light
C．kill mosquitoes
D．tell orange from yellow
34．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
A．Women are more careful.
B．There are fewer color blind women.
C．Women are fonder of driving than men.
D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
35．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a .
A．red light B．yellow light
C．blue light D．green light

Hi, Lauren,
I’m sorry to learn that you are having such a bad time. Actually, most people will feel homesick and anxious when they leave home and come to a new place, especially a foreign country. So don’t worry too much.
Here are some tips for you. First, you’d better try to change some of your habits so that you can get used to the new environment as soon as possible. Second, make more new friends, who can share their hobbies and ideas with you. You will feel less homesick with many friends around you. Third, you should take part in some social activities. It will help you learn more about the
local customs and cultures.
I hope my advice will be useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
