When she sees fashionable people on the street, she tries to keep away from them. “I am afraid that they think I’m out of fashion,” said Li. This is called fashion anxiety（焦虑）. It is a hot topic online. These days, many people feel worried about their clothes. In fact, behind fashion anxiety is fashion bullying（霸凌）. Fashion magazines and advertisements（广告）sell the “newest and greatest” trends（趋势）. They tell us what to wear. If we don’t follow the trends, we may worry that people think we’re unfashionable. Also, fashion anxiety comes because we are not confident（自信的）enough. Ideas about fashion anxiety Do you have fashion anxiety? What do you think about it? Let’s look at how some teenagers feel. Liu Jiawei, 14, Songyuan, Jilin I have fashion anxiety. When I see some people wearing trendy clothes, I dare（敢）not look at them. But this doesn’t bring me much trouble. I still want to buy good-value（性价比高的）clothes. Being suitable is of great importance. Yin Peixin, 11, Wuhan, Hubei I love fashion. But my fashion taste is a little more traditional, such as long dresses and skirts. I don’t like fashion trends like green hair and ripped（破洞的）jeans. It’s just so strange to me! I don’t think I have fashion anxiety. But I feel bad for people with fashion anxiety. They shouldn’t be ashamed（羞愧的）of their clothes, because everyone is different—they are special in their own way. What is fashion? Fashion is about comfort and feeling good. —Max Azria, US fashion designer Fashion is everything that goes out of fashion. —Jean Cocteau, French designer Fashion is not something that is only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. —Coco Chanel, French fashion desigher In fact, fashion changes every season. Anyone can make it. If you can wear something with confidence, you will be the one starting a trend. Clothes just show what you look like, not who you are. What matters in inner（内心的）beauty. All about fashion Introduction to the fashion anxiety Seeing fashionable people on the street, Li Meixi 1 herself away from them and worries about her own clothes. Fashion bullying 2 fashion anxiety Fashion bullying comes because of the two reasons. We are really 3 in the “newest and greatest” trends and don’t want to be out of fashion. We don’t have 4 confidence. Ideas about fashion anxiety Liu Jiawei has fashion anxiety, but he doesn’t feel worried because it’s 5 for him to wear suitable clothes. Yin Peixin doesn’t have fashion anxiety. She finds it 6 to have fashion anxiety because everyone is special and 7 from each other. Famous 8 ideas Fashion is about comfort and feeling good. Fashion 9 everything interesting in our life, which comes from our ideas, lifestyles and things around us. Conclusion Fashion is always 10 and we should look for it from our inner beauty. 【答案】 1．keeps 2．behind 3．interested 4．enough 5．important 6．wrong 7．different 8．designers’ 9．includes 10．changing 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了时尚焦虑这个话题背后的原因以及用实例展现了普通人和设计师专家对这个话题的看法，最后总结出内在美才是最重要的。 1．根据“When she sees fashionable people on the street, she tries to keep away from them.”可知，当在街上看到时髦的人后，她会远离他们，然后担心她自己，keep away from“远离”；根据“and worries”可知，因为主语是第三人称单数，and前后动词形式保持一致，用三单形式。故填keeps。 2．根据“In fact, behind fashion anxiety is fashion bullying（霸凌） .”可知，时尚的焦虑的背后就是时尚霸凌。故填behind。 3．根据“They tell us what to wear. If we don’t follow the trends, we may worry that people think we’re unfashionable.”可知，时尚杂志广告体现了最新的、最大的趋势，如果我们不跟随，我们就会担忧落伍，也就是说有时尚焦虑的人对最新的时尚广告非常的感兴趣；be interested in sth“对某物感兴趣”。故填interested。 4．根据“Also, fashion anxiety comes because we are not confident（自信的） enough.”可知，时尚焦虑的第二个原因是因为我们没有足够的信心。故填enough。 5．根据“Being suitable is of great importance.”可知，对他而言，穿着合适是重要的；be important=be of importance“重要的”，故填important。 6．根据“They shouldn’t be ashamed（羞愧的） of their clothes, because everyone is different—they are special in their own way.”可知，她不赞同时尚焦虑，因此有时尚焦虑是一种错误的行为。故填wrong。 7．根据“They shouldn’t be ashamed（羞愧的） of their clothes, because everyone is different—they are special in their own way.”可知，人们不应该有时尚焦虑，因为每个人都是不同的个体，他们应该有适合他们自己风格；be different from“与……不同”。故填different。 8．根据“—Max Azria, US fashion designer”和“—Jean Cocteau, French designer”和“—Coco Chanel, French fashion desigher”等可知，这一部分讲的是著名设计师的想法，设计师不止一个，因此填名词复数的名词所有格形式。故填designers’。 9．根据“Fashion is not something that is only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”可知，时尚不仅体现在穿着上面，它还包括我们的想法、生活方式以及周遭一切有趣的事情；主语是三单“Fashion”，且时态为一般现在时。故填includes。 10．根据“In fact, fashion changes every season...What matters in inner（内心的）beauty.”可知，时尚一直在改变，所以真正重要的是我们的内在美；且根据“Fashion is always...”可知，本句是现在进行时，因此填动词现在分词形式。 故填changing。 话题5 方法与策略 Passage 1 Now students’ English handwriting (书法) gets bad.

Red represents the motherland and authority. Official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were red. In the Qing Dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents. For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the west. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets with money inside to the children as good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals prettiness. The expression “hongyan” meaning red colour is a synonym of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights red means stop driving. This is how the westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative meanings. 1．What does Chizi mean? 2．When was the Five-starred Red Flag first raised? 3．Why are official documents called red-head documents? 4．When will people give red packets? 5．What do you think of the red colour? 话题4 意见与建议 Passage 1 Do you sometimes look at your parents and wish they are healthier?

When she sees fashionable people on the street, she tries to keep away from them. “I am afraid that they think I’m out of fashion,” said Li. This is called fashion anxiety（焦虑）. It is a hot topic online. These days, many people feel worried about their clothes. In fact, behind fashion anxiety is fashion bullying（霸凌）. Fashion magazines and advertisements（广告）sell the “newest and greatest” trends（趋势）. They tell us what to wear. If we don’t follow the trends, we may worry that people think we’re unfashionable. Also, fashion anxiety comes because we are not confident（自信的）enough. Ideas about fashion anxiety Do you have fashion anxiety? What do you think about it? Let’s look at how some teenagers feel.

But my fashion taste is a little more traditional, such as long dresses and skirts. I don’t like fashion trends like green hair and ripped（破洞的）jeans. It’s just so strange to me! I don’t think I have fashion anxiety. But I feel bad for people with fashion anxiety. They shouldn’t be ashamed（羞愧的）of their clothes, because everyone is different—they are special in their own way. What is fashion? Fashion is about comfort and feeling good. —Max Azria, US fashion designer Fashion is everything that goes out of fashion. —Jean Cocteau, French designer Fashion is not something that is only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. —Coco Chanel, French fashion desigher In fact, fashion changes every season. Anyone can make it. If you can wear something with confidence, you will be the one starting a trend. Clothes just show what you look like, not who you are. What matters in inner（内心的）beauty. All about fashion Introduction to the fashion anxiety Seeing fashionable people on the street, Li Meixi 1 herself away from them and worries about her own clothes. Fashion bullying 2 fashion anxiety Fashion bullying comes because of the two reasons. We are really 3 in the “newest and greatest” trends and don’t want to be out of fashion. We don’t have 4 confidence.
