Upon discovering her grandma Georgie's clothing sketches(草图)in 2021,Julia, a 27-year-old TikToker, barely knew how to sew clothes. Nonetheless, she decided to take it upon herself to make Grandma's old designer dreams come alive. And it's not surprising at all, then, that when Julia shared her hard work with her absolutely delighted Grandma, and later her followers — more than 21million viewers tuned in to see what the most adorable version of Paris Fashion Week looks like. Oh, and what a sight it is.

Using material leftover from her grandmother's collection of outdated fabrics,Julia has sewn many of the dresses Georgie envisioned. She notes that she doesn't always follow her" grandma sketch", as what looks good on paper might not translate onto the body."Grandma encourages that,"Julia explains.

This ongoing interdenominational collaboration(合作) has led to an extremely popular TikTok series in which Julia shows Georgie what she's created. It's also sparked sweet conversations between the two of them, which are shared on video."It's a beautiful bonding experience between us that has made Grandma happy,"she said.

"Lots of people who are older and watch my videos say they love seeing someone younger appreciate something from their generation," she said."And then younger people see it and maybe they lost their grandparents, and they say seeing my videos reminds them of their grandparents,"said Julia.

Barber poles are one of those symbols that everyone recognizes. The red and white stripes(条) around a pole outside a shop let everyone know that this is a good place to get a haircut.

While most everyone recognizes this symbol immediately, you might not know what it actually means. As it turns out, the meanings behind the barber pole and its colors have a rather gruesome history that may just surprise you.

Back in the Middle Ages, barbers did more than haircuts and shaves.Barbers also offered certain medical services, like bloodletting. Bloodletting was used to treat many diseases from the simple, like throat pain, to more dangerous illnesses like infectious disease.

Surgeons often wouldn't do "simple" tasks like bloodletting as they considered it too ordinary. So barbers took over the task, along with other procedures like tooth extraction, and treatment for wounds and broken bones. In fact, barbers became known as "barber-surgeons" because of the broad range of services they offered. This continued until the mid to late 18th century, when treatments like bloodletting began to fall out of fashion.

At first, barber-surgeons advertised their services to a largely illiterate(文盲的)public by placing a bowl of blood in their windows. However, later a law banned this practice, which meant that barbers needed to find another way. Then the red-and-white striped pole rapidly became the symbol of barber-surgeons afterward.

According to historians, the red was meant to represent blood, while the white symbolized the bandages. The colors are wrapped around a stick because this represents the sticks that patients would hold in order to make the veins(血管)of their arms stand out. When the procedure was finished, barber-surgeons would wash the bandages, wrap them around the sticks, and place them outside to dry. In Europe, barber poles are red and white, so the blue stripe is a United States addition to represent the color of veins.

So next time you're heading to the barber, remember the history behind thecolors of the pole.

8.What does the underlined word "gruesome" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Embarrassing.      B.Horrible.       C.Glorious.            D.Unforgettable.

9.What was included in barbers' services in the 17th century?

A.Selling beauty products.               B.Treating a toothache.

C.Performing big operations.             D.Providing physical examination.

10.What can we know about the blue stripes around the barber pole?

A. They were used to stop bleeding.
