Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could

29、do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the worlds attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs.

30、 Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. “If I didnt make them short enough, the girls that had wonderful legs would take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves. She said. Eventually, Ms. Quants skirts, which arrived in the United States i

31、n the mid-60s, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quants opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl l

32、ook childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of womens liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother. 1.D 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.BVI.

35、rsity is a new experiencemaybe we can look for something not too expensive.Daughter: Wonderful, at least we can have a look.The daughter wants to buy new clothes, but the mother disagrees, saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition.

36、 The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion, so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages. The daughter then suggests getting a part-time job to cover the expenses. Not wanting to affect the daughters studies, the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes.Task 2: A Models Desc

37、ription of Her WorkBefore the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space. A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was rightthe correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed

38、, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few

39、steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. You could hear the talkingfashion shows are

40、 not theatre, and people dont keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So yo

41、u walk through conversations, unable to stop or react. You are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.1.T 2.F 3.T 4.F 5.FTask 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot BikiniShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was as nervous as she could beShe was afraid to come out of the locker
