She says, “Almost all the clothes in the window are just like the things I wore when I was young. Those flared trousers (喇叭裤) and very short skirts.”

Back in the 1970s every Saturday morning my mother and her friends looked around the shops. Of course they did not always have money to buy the things they wanted.

Visit the Edinburgh Festival

Every year, thousands of people come to Edinburgh(爱丁堡), the capital city of Scotland, to be part of the Edinburgh Festival. For three weeks every August and September the city is filled with actors and artists from all over the world. They come to Edinburgh for the biggest arts festival in Britain. During this time the streets of the city are alive(具有活力的) with music and dance from early morning until late at night. You can even see artists painting pictures on the streets. One of the best parts of the Festival is the “Fringe”, where students do comedy shows in small halls and cafés.

Tens of thousands of tourists come to the Festival to see new films and plays and hear music played by famous musicians. This year, you can see over five hundred performances with actors from more than forty countries.

The tickets for these performances are quite cheap and it is usually easier to see your favourite star in Edinburgh than it is in London. So come to Edinburgh next summer, but remember it can be difficult to find a room, so why not book your hotel now?

The kinds of foods you eat and how much of those you eat are important to your

health. Scientists arrange (分配) foods in groups to help you choose a healthy diet. Each group has a different kind of food. Foods from all the groups together give you energy (能量), help you grow, help keep you from getting sick, and help make you strong.


The diagram(图表) shows six food groups and how much food from each group you should eat each day. It is a good idea to think about the food groups when you plan your meals at home and when you eat out. Planning with the food groups will help you eat a well-balanced (搭配均衡的) diet that will help you stay healthy.

Outside it was snowing heavily and the house was cold. I was alone and had been watching TV all evening when the doorbell rang.

Feeling a little frightened, I went to the front door and called out, “Who is it?” There was no reply. I opened the door slowly. Through the thick snow, I saw the figure (轮廓) of a man standing in the doorway. The stranger was wearing a long, black coat and I could just make out his face. “I never saw this man in my life,” I thought.

“Can I come in? I will only stay for a short while.” he said. After I had thought about it for a moment, I let him in. “Thank you,” he said in a low voice. “I have been looking for you for years.”

I showed him into the living-room. In the bright light I suddenly recognized(认出) Billy, an old school friend I hadn't seen for thirty years.

阅读短文,根据其内容用文章中出现的单词的适当形式完成下列各句,每空格一词。

Do you ever have trouble remembering people's names? If you do, here are some ideas you can try to help remember the names of people you meet. The best way to remember someone's name is to repeat the name over and over. You can repeat the person's name while you talk to them. Or, if you have a moment or two while they are not talking to you, you can repeat their names in your mind. Repeating names in your mind is a good way to remember several names if you meet lots of new people at the same time.

Another way you can use to remember names is to connect the person's name to someone else. If your friend Tom introduces you to Mike, you can remember them together as “Tom and Mike”. Or you can connect the person's name to something about the person. If Sarah was wearing a red sweater when you met her, it might help remember her name as “Red Sarah”.

In case you forget someone's name, don't feel bad about asking him / her to tell it to you again. Everyone forgets names now and then. And after hearing it again, you'll probably remember it more easily.

 阅读上面的短文,根据其内容回答下列各题,每题答案不得超过五个单词。

58. What is the best way to remember someone's name according to the passage?

59. We can connect names with many things. The writer gave us two examples in this passage. What are the two things the writer used in the examples?

60. What does the passage suggest (建议) if you forget someone's name?
