Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. 1 He knows what he wants, he can decide what to buy before shopping. So most men simply walk into a shop and ask the salespeople for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes.
For a man, some problems may begin when the shop doesn’ t have what he wants. 2 He offers something that is almost the same as the thing the man wants. Good salespeople say, “ 3 Sir, but would you like to try it for size Maybe you like the color.” Most men don’t care about this and may answer, “this may be the right color and size, but I won’t waste my time trying it on”.
For a woman, it is different. 4 She doesn’t decide what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to “have a look around”. At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say, “It looks good on you.” 5 A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before deciding on the dresses she wants to try on. It is boring. And most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
A．Most women are always looking for the bargains.
B．A man goes shopping because he needs something.
C．At that time, the salespeople tries to sell the man something else.
D．Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something.
E．I know this jacket is not what you really want.
F．It is right for men to spend some time choosing clothes before buying.

Silk was discovered by the Chinese more than 3,000 years ago. It was said that the wife of the Yellow Emperor accidentally dropped a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧) into her tea. The hot water caused the cocoon to break. 1 From then on, the silk industry began. At first, only the rich were allowed to wear silk clothes.
As early as 300 AD, Chinese businessmen sold silk to the Indians. By 200 BC, the Koreans had learned how to make silk. A 12,000-kilometer road going from China to Europe was built because of silk. 2
Here's a simple version of how this amazing little thing does its work. The silkworm begins life as a moth(蛾子). The moth's life is about ten days, during which it lays eggs that change into silkworms. 3 In their short lives, 20,000 silkworms will eat more than one ton of mulberry(桑树) leaves, their main food.
4 The finished cocoon contains 350 meters of silk. That might seem like a lot, but consider this: 5,500 silkworms have to spin 5,500 cocoons to make one kilogram of silk. People raise silkworms for silk production. The Chinese have perfected the art of making silk, gaining knowledge over many centuries.
Today, silk production remains an important economic risk in China. 5 Silk no longer costs an arm and a leg, but it is still highly prized.
A．Silkworms eat a lot.
B．As it broke apart, she realized its beauty.
C．Actually, it is a painful process for the worm.
D．In its final stage of life, the silkworm spins a cocoon.
E．From there, knowledge of silk production spread across the world.
F．While versions have recently entered the market, the beauty of naturally produced silk is not matched.

After-school activities play an important part in our children’s education. 1 So here is something about how to make afterschool activities successful.
First, you should know what you expect your child to learn from an activity. 2 Any activity may be a challenge (挑战) to a child. Taking on the challenge can help a quiet child become more outgoing.
Second, safety (安全) must be the most important thing for any activity. 3 You should talk to a teacher and ask questions before deciding to let your child take part in it. Be careful of the activity itself with too much competition. Talking with your child first is also a good idea.
4 But others like to leave their children to choose and decide what they want to do. Some say that the second group can let the children work and think better and that the first group can make them ask their parents for help too often. Only you can decide which group you belong to and which activity is good for you and your child.
Remember that childhood (童年) is a short time in each child’s life. 5
A．For example, you may want your child to learn how to draw.
B．All work and no play is not a good idea.

I’m a girl. I’m 15 years old. I look normal: I’m not tall or short, and I’m not ugly or beautiful. But there’s one problem: I have a big butt. When I shop for dresses, I can never find one big enough for me. 1 So it’s really hard for me to find a right dress. When I see thin girls in their small dresses, sometimes I’m sad.
2 They can always find one that is in the right size. But not for me. It takes me weeks or even months to find a dress that covers my butt and doesn’t make my arms look so fat. A lot of times, I have to give up my favorite color. Once, I was in a dressing room. I heard a girl in the room beside me talking to her friend. She said she was on a diet all year, but her butt was still too big. I turned around and looked at her: Poor girl! She was so thin. 3
But each time I am out with Mom, I can only think about two things: finding a dress and eating something good. Maybe I should try to eat a little less. Or maybe I shouldn’t worry about my big butt all the time. 4
I went to 226 dress shops for a right dress last year. 5 Most girls have small butts, and I’m happy I have a big one.

I think our life will be very different in 100 years.
First, people won’t live on the land (陆地). 1 Special machines will provide air and light, but the environment won’t be the same. Because there won’t be any soil (土壤) , trees and plants won’t grow. 2 Most of the food will be made in big factories. The food will be very delicious and healthy. Children will love it because the food is very colorful and has many kinds of shapes. If there is no pollution in the sea, people will also eat fish.
Second, I think people’s everyday life will be different. There will be a lot of robots everywhere.
3 People won’t have to do housework, either. 4 For example, they can play sports or go to the movies with their friends.
Finally, I believe that everyone will be able to travel to the moon for a holiday. It is much easier to get to different space stations.
In a word, 5 I believe the future world will be an interesting place to live in.

1 Getting other friends into your argument or asking them to decide will only turn your argument into something bigger. So you should keep it between the two of you.
