Unit 3 Life in the future.阅读理解ALast Saturday，my 8yearold son，Chase，and I were shopping in a supermarket.Chase was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I collected.I handed him a bag of tomatoes and he walked over to the scale and waited patiently in line.Suddenly，an old man walked up behind Chase，and stepped before him，bumping Chase out of the way.Chase looked shocked and scared.Seeing this I left my shopping cart and walked over to Chase, saying loudly，“Are you all right，honey？I saw what that man did to you.That was very, very wrong.”When the man finished weighing his bag，he turned around too quickly and all of his onions spilled out of his bag and onto the dirty floor.The three of us froze for a moment.Then I got down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions while the old man accepted them from my hands and put them back into his bag.After Chase and I retrieved all the onions, the old man walked away.We didnt discuss the event until we got back in the car.On the way home，Chase said through tears，“Mommy, Ive a frustrating day.That man cut right in front of me.And we had to help him pick up his onions！Why did we do that？That didnt make any sense.”I took a deep breath and said，“Chase, that man seemed to have a very bad mood today.We should forgive him.I was also angry with that man for treating you rudely.I really wanted to kick him.But doing that doesnt make any sense.If we hadnt helped that old man，we might have felt good for a moment，but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time.You and I have a lot of love to share.Maybe that man doesnt have much.People who behave badly still need love.”A cheerful smile appeared on Chases face.It was a smile of a promise kept.It was the best smile I had ever seen.God，it was a good moment.It may have been my best mommy moment ever.语篇解读本文为一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己和儿子在超市购物时的一次不愉快的经历，教育自己的儿子为人处世要大度。1What did the old man do?AHe jumped the queue.BHe hit Chase on the head.CHe hurried away

Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago.Of course he helped set the trend，so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion.Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long.The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954，starring Brando.Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket，leather cap and jeans，he created a look which is still considered “cool” today.Everyone from Madonna to a middleaged man is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffanys，starring Audrey Hepburn.She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffanys with a pastry and coffee in your hand，as Audrey Hepburn does in the film.She looks so elegant，wearing simple but beautiful dresses，big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck.Audrey Hepburn still influences womens fashion with her “Tiffanys look”In more modern times，the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction，made in 1994.Her style was very simple.Her black trousers，crisp white shirt and hairstyle were copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing.The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion.It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi，who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服)，and it won an Oscar for Costume Design.Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan.The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos.It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions，but at various social events.The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.语篇解读本文主要讨论了电影和时尚之间的关系。4What is the best title of the passage?AFilms and fashionBStars fashionCInfluential filmsDFilm cultures解析：标题归纳题。第一段的第三句“Fashion and films

BAudrey Hepburn.CUma Thurman.DMarlon Brando.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket，leather cap and jeans.is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.”可知，麦当娜的皮革摩托夹克会让人联想到演员Marlon Brando。答案：D6What is implied in the film Breakfast at Tiffanys according to the passage?
