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 havent found this type of dress in the store,” Cathy, Bellas mother, says.The car dress is from a new girls clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products (产品) 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 theyd 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 (挑战) 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.21.Bellas clothing is special because it has pictures of _.A. flowers B. horsesC. cars D. butterflies22.Princess Awesome was started _.A. by Cathy and Rebecca B. because of six-year-old BellaC. with the help of a girls store D. to make unusual clothing for girls23.The dresses made by Rebecca and her friend _.A. sold better online than at the market B. helped them get a job in a factoryC. were popular among girls D. were sold expensively24.What is the most difficult thing Rebecca and her friend will face?A. Meeting the needs of all girls.B. How to make interesting products.C. Raising enough money for their business.D. How to expand their business as people expected.B The Worlds Coolest PlacesTheres nothing wrong with a relaxing week at the beach. But travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy(共鸣) and international understanding, so for those longing to escape the crowds this summer, encounter new worlds and return with a tale, herere a few little-known travel destinations I recommend.1.Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands.This coral island in the Pacific Ocean, site of nuclear weapons tests decades ago, is now brilliantly beautiful and the deserted white-sand beaches are lined with coconut palms and scattered with seashells. The island is a reminder of the redemptive(救赎的) power of time and nature.2.Potosi, Bolivia.No city in Latin America is more beautiful than Potosi, Bolivia, where Europeans discovered a huge silver mountain centuries ago. Tourists can descend(下降) the silver mines to experience extremely hot and dusty tunnels, talk to the miners, get a glimpse of life image for Bolivians there and have new empathy for the miners.3.Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.Maybe our family start at Victoria Falls, which wets you with spray, making Niagara Falls a backyard stream. Then we rent a car and make our way to Hwange National Park, empty of people but crowded with various animals. Zimbabwe has fewer tourists than South Africa, and theres less crime as well.4.Amritsar, India.The Golden Temple, Sikhisms holiest shrine(神殿), is a delightful place to contemplate the draw of faith. A four-century-old temple set in a lake attracts Sikhs(锡克教徒) worldwide. Walking the circuit of the lake, with your head covered, and putting up in temple buildings can be a full experience.25.If you want to experience the hardship of the miners, you should choose to visit .A. Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands B. Potosi, BoliviaC. Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe D. Amritsar, India26.Bikini Atoll is different from other attractions recommended by the author in that .A. it is famous for its natural scenery B. it is in the Pacific OceanC. it is well-known for its silver mines D. it is related to religion27.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. Victoria Falls are in Hwange National ParkB. The Golden Temple is a holy place for SikhsC. Tourists can have new empathy for silver miners in PotosiD. Tourists can enjoy themselves on white-sand beaches in Bikini AtollCNew research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow in the UK has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Many scientists had believed that there were six basic emotions that people from all cultures recognized. These were happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust(厌恶). However, the University of Glasgows work now suggests that the human face only had four basic expressions of emotions. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to tell apart, especially when they are first shown on the face. Fear and surprise, 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 much more complex feelings? The study found that the way expressions are understood is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be universal”, she explained. However, while looking at how people from the East and West recognize different parts of the face, they found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.“We said we dont know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations of facial movements and show the Chinese people and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.” With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explained that this development of facial expressions is related to biology and social situations.What has caught peoples interest is the cross-cultural aspect of the work. “This study shows which emotions we share, and which are different in different cultures,” Jack said. This finding could help us develop new communication technologies, for example ones that use video-calling programs like Skype. When you talk to someone in Japan in the future, a programme could “read” your facial expressions and then “translate” them for the Japanese person. The Japanese person would see the Japanese facial expression on their screen. In this way, people from different cultures could understand each other better.28.From the first two paragraphs, we can conclude that new research .A. has shown that our faces only show happiness, sadness, fear and surpriseB. has suggested that we can recognize six basic emotions from facial expressionsC. has shown that traditional opinions of facial expressions of emotions are correctD. has found that people may not recognize the different between looks of fear and surprise29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Facial expressions are considered to be universalB. People across cultures show different kinds of feelingsC. Different people understand facial expressions differentlyD. Facial expressions have some common features across cultures30.Why are some facial expressions often easy to confuse?A. Personalities differ from person to personB. Some pairs of emotions are impossible to tell apartC. People come from different nations and cultural backgroundsD. Chinese people have a similar idea of a disgusted face to people from the West31.The purpose of the article is mainly to .A. report on a study about facial expressions of feelingsB. show readers wrong ideas about basic facial expressionsC. remind us that some facial expressions are often confusingD. describe how people across cultures read facial expressionsDStudents love movies!
