To my Charlie on his weddi ng day —

I know you think these no tes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years whe n I give them

to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down

on paper helps me do that. I wish I had bee n a better writer. I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved.

I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patie nt. You should be the same with her, Charley. |

three thin gs. You have to love

1) Each other.

even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage. It ' s like a third party. Look at yo wedding photos. Look at any memories you ' ve made. And if you believe in those memories, they will pull you

back together.

I ' m very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose

thi ngs.

I love you every day!

My daughter went to see The Wild One recen tly and she comme nted that Marlon Brando was weari ng jea ns

so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link betwee n films and trends in fashi on. Fashi on and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starri ng Bran do. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jea ns, he created a look which is still con sidered “ cool ” today. Every one from Madonna to middleaged men is see n weari ng the classic leather

motorcycle jacket.

Ano ther strong in flue nee on fashi on trends was Breakfast at Tiffany ' s, starri ng Audrey Hepbur n. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just sta nding around an expe nsive department store like Tiffany ' s 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 Hepbur n still in flue nces wome n ' s fashi on with her “ Tiffa ny ' s 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 hair style was copied by wome n in the world.

In flue ncing fashi on trends can ofte n be about tim ing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japa nese fashi on. It started the Chin ese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kim onos（禾和服）,

and it won an Oscar for Costume Desig n. Many travel compa nies picked up on the trend and ran “ geisha trips Japa n. The film has also led to a rega ined in terest i n kim ono s. It is now quite com mon to see young Japa nese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also begi nning to spread to wester n coun tries.

28. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Films and fashi on.

B. Stars ' fashiorC .In flue ntial films. D. Film cultures.

29. Who will people associate Mado nna weari ng the leather motorcycle jacket with?

A. Zha ng Ziyi.

B. Audrey Hepbur n.

C. Uma Thurma n.

D. Marlon Bran do.

30. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany ' s according to the passage?

A. One can be active by weari ng black. |

B. One can be elega nt by weari ng simply.

C. One can be famous by looking perfect.

D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany ' s.

31. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?

A. The popularity of the Chin ese actress.

B. The worldwide readi ng of Geisha stories.

C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.

D. The “ geisha trips ” to social events.

I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony （殖民地）of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a cha nnel of half a mile wide.

As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies ' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of start ing a girls

' school for Chin ese girls, which was soon followed by the ope ning of a boys

school. |

Mrs. Gutzlaff ' s complior（买办）happened to come from my village and was actually my father ' s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff ' s school and it was doubtlessly through his in flue nce and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always bee n a mystery to me why my pare nts should put me into a foreig n school, i nstead of a traditi onal Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certa inly such a step would have bee n more suitable for Chin ese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the coun try, tha n to allow me to atte nd an En glish school. Moreover, a Chin ese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promoti on, in flue nce, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreig n com muni cati on with China was just begi nning to grow, my pare nts hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous positi on to en ter the bus in ess and diplomatic world. I am won deri ng if that in flue need my pare nts to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff ' s School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were en tirely left in the hands of God.

32. How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff ' s school?

A. Through his father ' s request.. Through his father ' s friend ' s help.

C. Through his own efforts to exams.

D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff ' s in flue nce.

33. Why did the author ' s parents put him into an English school ?

A. It met with Chin ese public opinion.

B. An En glish school was more in flue ntial.

C. He could become a successful in terpreter.

D. Foreig n trade with Chi na was develop ing fast.

34. What did the author think of his pare nts ' decisi on to put him into an En glish school?

A. It was skeptical.

B. It was won derful.

C. It was thoughtful.

D. It was mysterious.

35. What does the underlined word “ sequences ” in the last sentence probably mean ?
