请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.
What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, more American men followed his example.
There is also a cyclical(周期性的) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.
Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.
At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be discourteous(失礼的) to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either!
Fashion Change
People’s(71) towards fashion | Ordinary people just (72) the trends of fashion passively. |
Influences of fashion | According to magazines and TV advertisements, people are able to (73) __more confidently and with less (74)___ if they fashionably dress themselves or wear a certain(75)____ style. |
(76) of fashion changing | Sometimes a fashion comes into (77)___because of convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person. |
Cyclical pattern in fashion | Some old fashion can come back to(78)_____ after a certain period of time. |
Today’s fashion | Society emphasizes more on informality than on trends. You can dress up as you(79)______ . |
Writer’s attitude | We do need to (80)____ourselves properly on some occasions but we can never catch up with the latest fashion. |

It was December 22. The bitter wind swept the countless snowflakes(雪花) across my front yard. My dad was there sweeping the 36 . His nose was red as a cherry. With every breath he took, a white puff escaped 37 the air.
Inside, my mother was _38_the last of the boxes. 39 I entered the front door, the thought that after today I wouldn’t enter through that 40 ever again burned a hole in my stomach. I picked up my dog and sat Indian style with him in my lap on the 41 , wooden floor. I had no 42 but to sit on the floor, for there was no longer any furniture in my house. I sat there in a daze (恍惚), just 43 . There was no reason for my parents to make me, a once 44 12-year-old kid, 45. I had two best friends right across the street; I did well in school and I always kept my room clean. 46 , this was “my house”. By no means did I want a couple of 47 living here. These recurring (重复) thoughts 48 around in my mind and I couldn’t find an answer.
Out of the front window I could see the orange top of a truck pulling in along the cleaned driveway and I knew it was the other U-Haul. At once their men came 49 in through the back door like World War Ⅲ was starting.
I watched 50 as the men, my mother and my dad loaded the truck. My dog even winced (畏缩) as he stared out of the window. I wondered if he was 51 , too, or if he just wished to play outside in the snow.
My mum came in, looking solemn (凝重). She turned 52 the overhead light, put the 53 in my arms and took me out of the back door. A totally 54 feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life, I wondered what 55 would be like to me tomorrow.
