In summer, it's common on the street to see many Chinese women holding parasols1 to protect themselves from the sun. But when Amy, an exchange student in Beijing from the US, first saw this, she found it strange, even impossible to understand. She wrote on her blog, "Unlike Chinese women, American women like to put on their tank tops and sunglasses during summer. If you walk around an American college campus2, you will probably see girls out on the grassy fields reading, but they really hope to get a head start on their summer tan3. "
This may be caused by the different standards of beauty between the US and China. Many Americans don't want white skin. They would rather be tanned3. Amy also wrote, "Having darker skin is so popular that many women and men will pay for fake4 tans so that they can keep their sun-kissed appearance during the winter months, too. "
Why do they like tanned skin? Michelle Louis reported in her research, "The process of tanning can help make people's skin smooth and hide marks. " She further explained, "Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin. "
Perhaps there is no real ideal standard of beauty. In different cultures and at different times of history, the standards change. On Amy's blog, she also gave two examples: Some women carried parasols around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago; During the Tang Dynasty in China, heavy women were thought attractive. But now, Chinese women prefer to be slim.
In a word, different standards of beauty should be respected. People may grow up with only one idea of what beauty is, but it doesn't mean that it's necessarily the correct or the best idea.
New words:
1. parasol n. umbrella used to protect people from the sun 阳伞
2. campus n. grounds of school, college or university校园
3. tan n. the brown colour of sun-kissed skin 晒成的棕褐
v. become brown by the sun 晒成棕褐色，晒黑
4. fake adj. not real 假的

A. Many Chinese prefer white skin to tanned skin.
B. Darker skin is popular among American women and men.
C. Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them look thinner.
D. Some women would like to keep their skin white in the US 150 years ago.
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People in the US like to have tanned skin only in hot summer.
B. American college girls read on the grass because they want to be tanned.
C. Many Chinese women carry parasols to protect themselves from the sun.
D. Amy thought trying to keep white skin with parasols seemed strange at first.
3.The writer really wants to tell us .
A. we should respect different standards of beauty
B. the standards of beauty change at different times

Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel "Alice in Wonderland" in detail.
The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.
The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases（追赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin.
In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.
Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）.It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.
Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react（反应）！
Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.
1.Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole?
A. When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground.

C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on surperstars.
D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.
2.According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare _____.
A. describes how hares behave in March
B. shows hares' characteristics in a scientific way
C. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter.
D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter
3.Which character in "Alice in Wonderland" wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?
