Everyday wear like casual shirts, T-shirts, and jackets, embroidered（刺绣）with traditional patterns from the Yi ethnic group, staged a striking show at recent. New York Fashion Week, which took place on September 4th.Chinese designer Wang Ta's new youth collection, decorated with Yi embroidery, a Chinese intangible cultural heritage, was a definite hit on the last night of the fashion week.

The audience was amazed by both the beautiful and mostly hand-embroidered colorful patterns and the perfect balance of modem and traditional elements.Leah Coulter, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, who dressed the models for the show, said the collection was a mix of old and new and loved all the patterns and embroidery, which aroused her interest in the unique handicraft dating back thousands of years."I need to learn more about its history, "Coulter said.

It's not something new in the fashion world to involve China's intangible cultural heritages as elements of design, Wang said, but it's not easy to make them into true fashion."Intangible cultural heritages should not always be displayed in museums or only appear on souvenirs.I hope to break the stereotype through using the Yi embroidery and make them everyday, fashionable items, "Wang told yhe media after the show."I think fashion is the best way to introduce culture."

Wang's design ideas can be traced back to both her global experience as a fashion designer in japan, the UK and China, and her unique educational background.

Before receiving her second degree in fashion from Japan's top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakuen, she majored in history at East China Normal University in Shanghai.In order to create her collection, Wang and her team went to Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture（自治州）in southwest China's Yunnan Province and deeply studied the culture and history of Yi's craftsmanship to gain insight into the essence, delicacy and symbolism of Yi embroidery.But Wang's employing the patterns, colors and techniques of Yi embroidery in her contemporary fashion designs is not a simple imitation.The combination of modern and traditional parts cant be too striking for it to be widely accepted as everyday wear, Wang said, adding that her goal is for people, regardless of gender, color or nationality, to like her designs.

28. What made Wang Ta's design appealing to the audience?

A. The delicate hand-embroidered costumes in Yi culture.

B. The striking design of Chinese intangible cultural heritage.

C. The brilliant combination of traditional and modern parts.

D. The diversity of ethnic cultures displayed in the youth clothes.

A fixed impression B. unique style C. commercial trend D. controversial type

30. Which of the following contributes to Wang's design ideas?

A. Her fashion educational background only at home.

B. Her travelling experiences across ethnic regions in Yunnan Province.

C. Her working experiences in some European and Asian countries

D. Her goal to be famous worldwide.

31. What is the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Revive a culture in fashion

B. Apply China's Ethnic Elements in Fashion

C. Wang Ta-China's Talented Designer

D. China's Intangible Cultural Heritage

If you don't want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret.according to a British market research document released last week.

Researchers looked into the fridges of400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners' lifestyles.They claim to be able to classify the nation's people by fridge contents.

They say those people can be separated into five categories:nutrition nerds（痴迷者）, foodtrend chasers（whatever is in style）, strict mums, fast food fans and restaurant regulars.

Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies.Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work as lawyers or accountants.The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.

A fridge full of vitamins-enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion.They tend not to eat the foods they buy.Known as the food-trend chasers, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.

A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the strict mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge shows difficulty balancing family and work life.

Fast food fans always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges show someone who works hard and plays hard, and someone who is not into long term planning.

Finally,a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.

32. What did the researchers find out?

A. Most people in Britain don't eat healthily.

B. Peoples characters can be reflected by their fridge contents.

C. People in Britain tend to eat out.

D. There are five types of people in the world.

C.Strict mums care about others in family more than themselves.

D.Fast food fans usually stock their fridges with fresh fruit
