Yet these are girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age. Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly. ”Professor Twigg analyzed family expending（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameand 5 or 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply. The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them. ”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years. She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. Theres also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago. ”59. Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _. A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesD. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%60.

They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion. D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age. 61. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because A. they get tired of things more quicklyB. TV shows teach them how to change their look C. they are in much better shape now D. clothes are much cheaper than before 62. Which is the best possible title of the passage?A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans B. The More Fashionable, the Less ExpensiveC. Unexpected Changes in FashionD.

We are lucky: from the English Premier League to Wimbledon and the football World Cup, we have enough sport to entertain us all year round until 2012.But what about the Olympic athletes once the Games finish? Of course , the famous such as Michael Phelps and Liu Xiang havent finished competing yet , and can live off their fame until the London Games. Yao Ming had a disappointing time in Beijing , but at least he can carry on playing basketball and earning money and glory with the Houston Rockets. The professional sportsmen and women who compete in the Olympics such as footballers or tennis players go back to their day jobs, earning millions. Not all former Olympic athletes are so lucky. Some nations have started to reward successful Olympians with cash, but retired athletes still have to go on and find something else to do once the Games are over. What do they do to earn a living , or to satisfy their competitive nature?A billion people around the globe watch the Olympics and athletes and land a job by simply having a recognizable face. Acting is one employment opportunity. It is disappointing to see healthy athletes promoting the unhealthiest of food and drink. One other career move for Olympians is to go into politics. Actors have done it, so why not athletes? Politicians certainly love successful sportspeople. But as British cyclist Chris Hoy has shown, Olympic gold medalists dont always love being used by politicians , who try to steal some of their fame and glory. 60. Who will have the greatest difficulty in making money after the Olympics? A. Michael Phelps. B. Yao Ming . C. The professional athletes. D. Retired athletes.61. According to the passage, why can former athletes work as actors or actresses ? A. Because they are really better than other actors at acting. B. Because of their familiar faces. C. Because acting is their favourite profession. D. Because they have no choice but to accept their fate. 62. The author thinks that . A. athletes can become politicians B. athletes shouldnt go into politics C. athletes are thought to become better politicians D. athletes fame and glory stop them improving themselves63. What is the best title for passage? A. Introduction to Olympics B. Introduction to Olympic athletes C. Olympic athletes future life D.
