Sheep always follow each other and never really think about where they are going. Perhaps fashion makes us into “sheep”. Maybe we should find our own way and not follow the crowd. Everyone wants to wear top brand clothing. However, we should remember that clothes designers(设计师) study what ordinary people wear on the street. Then they make clothes like ordinary people’s for everyone. Therefore, fashion really starts with individual(个人的) finding a new look. Then a company uses that look and then it becomes fashionable! That doesn’t mean you will. That is to say, a model might look perfect in a shirt but that doesn’t mean you will.
The same goes for mobile phones. Young people are always asking me when to change my mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are always putting new functions on their phones but do we really need all these extra functions? I use my phone to call people and to send messages to my friends. I don’t need a camera, Internet surfing or a calendar on my phone. Again, if you buy the latest phone, it will only be the latest phone for a month or so. Then something new will come out and you’ll be unfashionable again. You can’t keep up with fashion all the time, so you don’t need to follow the fashion.
1. The underlined word “sheep” means”________.”
A. a kind of animal which is white
B. people who always follow the fashion
C. honest people who want to be fashionable
D. black sheep which break laws
2.Clothes designers study what you wear on the street because______________.
A. they want to design fashion clothes
B. they like your clothes
C. they want to buy the clothes you wear
D. your clothes are ugly
3. If you have a model’s clothes on, you________
A. are sure to be beautiful B. will become a model
C. will be smarter D. may not look perfect
4. The passage is written mainly to _________.
A. explain what sheep are
B. tell us to buy new mobile phones
C. tell us not to be “sheep”
D. tell students not to care about the clothes
5.What can we infer from the article?
A. Sheep which are out of date have been killed.
B. The writer is a person who always follows the fashion.
C. Fashion only exists among those fashion models.
D. Fashion changes so quickly that we can hardly keep up with it.
