Passage 1
阅读短文, 根据短文内容选择一个最佳答案。
For most people, the word
“
fashion
”
means
“
clothes
”
. But people may ask the
question,
“
What clothes are in fashion?
”
And they use the adjective
“
fashionable
”
in the same way:
“
She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color.
”
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are
fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in
school subjects, jobs...and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from
the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750
was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different
from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things
much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television and
computers send information from one country to another in a few minutes.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money
in fashion.
