“Made in China” is having its moment now—and it’s a fashionable one.
The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands (品牌), suddenly got International attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs-sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.
Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.”
Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don’t show immediate interest in western culture any more.
“Today’s young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements (元素),” Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols.”
In fact, many stars in the West are now interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
“We have to move from making to creating,” Chinese American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. “We want to replace the words ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’.”
( )1. The new designs of Li Ning Company in September, 2018 were ______ .

Tourism (旅游业) is one of the world’s largest industries. Many countries depend heavily on tourism as an important part of their economy (经济), while other countries such as some of the smaller Caribbean island nations—are almost completely dependent on tourism.
Despite its economic advantages, tourism has disadvantages, too. While countries spend millions attracting tourists, they are also under the pressure that tourism brings.
One of the biggest problems is environmental. The building of roads and hotels can quickly destroy those very beautiful places. Development on wetlands, for example, influences wildlife; forests disappear as they are cleared to s make way for buildings and to provide fuel (燃料) . In addition, the tourist industry also puts a huge pressure on water people need. In dry Mediterranean areas, tourists use almost twice as much water as local people when swimming in the pool.
Tourism is also responsible for producing plenty of waste. Cruise ships in the Caribbean produce a lot of rubbish-more than 70 000 tons each year. It even has an influence on places far away like the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain, which has more than 100 tons of rubbish sitting on it.
In spite of these problems, tourism can be good for communities and the environment. The park-entrance fees (费用) are paid for the protection of places of interest or the animals. What’s more, tourism brings people closer to nature, and can give them a better understanding of the environment and the result of destroying it. This leads to pressure on local governments to protect these beautiful areas, and can result in the protection of endangered plants and animals. Also, it can provide people with more opportunities to find jobs in the tourist industry.
Although tourism has many advantages, it clearly has a bad influence as well. The challenge for local and national governments is to manage tourism so that communities can benefit economically, and yet at the same time, make sure that the tourist areas are kept for all to enjoy.
( )1. Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the ______ of tourism.
A. disadvantages B. development C. importance D. survey
( )2. The writer shows the waste problem is serious by ______ .
A. telling stories B. listing facts C. asking questions D. making comparisons
( )3. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following are the advantages of tourism
①The money from tourism is used to protect the environment.
②Tourism can help people better understand the local culture.
③People can get more chances to find jobs related to tourism.
④Humans and nature are becoming closer with the help of tourism.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
( )4. The writer advises the government to ______ at the end of the passage.
A. attract more tourists B. care about the economy
C. develop the tourist industry D. manage tourism well
