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.24.

In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Lets get to the heart of the matter a matter of principle(原则).If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, but you dont, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. Its not that much money. Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “Whats the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “Whats the matter with you?” has a pletely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “Whats the matter with you?” you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesnt matter” shows you are easy-going(随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will bee an expert on the use of matter.28. We can infer from the text that the word matter _.A. has a wide use B. can mean moneyC. is the most used English word D. has the most different expressions29. What is the authors suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts. B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friends advice. D. Be careful when making friends.30. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means“ A. choice B. person C. situation D. answer31. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. using examples B. giving instructionsC. describing his experiences D. discussing research findingsDIn 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged (扩大) a piece of paper money for a frienda Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldnt believe his eyes: slaves (奴隶) happily picking cotton in their masters fields.Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his greatgrandmother. The picture on the money did not match (匹配) the history of African American slaves that hed heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years search, Jones found more than 120 different bills.

None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景).He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money”an exhibit (展览) of his workhas toured the country.Jones paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago.
