Gap year is the time-off taken after high school or university. Many people think that “gap years” are simply an excuse for rich students to take a(n) 1. (特別) long vacation.

Tegan Morgan, a student at Cardiff University, volunteered in a language project three years ago, where she helped the kids with their English 3. (語法). “This experience has actually made me feel more 4. (確定的) about my life goals now.” she wrote on her blog.

A gap year also helps students understand responsibilities in the 5. (真實的) life world. During the gap year, the students learn to compete basic life skills on their own, 6. (包括) cooking and laundry.

“In fact, volunteers are 7. (歡迎) by many schools, and for would-be teachers, volunteering is a 8. (明智的) choice. Universities like to see proof of commitment to subject and self-discipline,” Jennifer, a 9. (專業(yè)的) researcher at the UK’s University of Hull business school told The Guardian.

But the gap years don’t only benefit aspiring teachers. “A year of volunteer work can help graduates develop transferable skills like teamwork, 10. (交流), problem-solving and planning,” said The Guardian.

Many of you have heard a Cinderella story, but what you may not know is that there are over a hundred different ways to tell the Cinderella story. Each of these stories is written by a different author. The story of Cinderella has many different versions.

The version that most people know is the oldest one written in 1697 by Charles Perrault from France. This is the version where the birds help make Cinderella’s dress and the mice turn into carriage men and help Cinderella go to the ball in the pumpkin that turns into a carriage. In this version, many of the animals are Cinderella’s friends. They help her meet the Prince, who Cinderella marries, and together they live happily ever after.

In another version of this story, written in the 1850s by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from Germany, there are birds that help Cinderella throughout the story. Cinderella’s mother is not living at the beginning of the story. She visits her mother’s grave three times a day to say a prayer for her.

Cinderella’s father has given her a brunch when he goes to the festival. She plants the brunch and her tears water the brunch until it grows into a tall tree.

The birds now live in the tree and they give Cinderella a dress of gold and silver and slippers of the same colours. Cinderella goes to the festival to meet and dance with the Prince. Later, Cinderella marries the Prince and they have a nice life ever after.

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 colour.” 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. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

1.From this passage we know that “fashion” means ______.

A. clothes B. many things

C. most of the popular things D. everything

2.Which of the following things is fashionable today?

A. Surfing on the Internet.

B. Having a family dinner on New Year’s Day.

C. Learning to sing songs on the radio.

D. Doing morning exercises at school.

3.Today fashions change very quickly because _______.

A. people read newspaper every day

B. radios send information from one country to another

C. new things that people like are often shown on TV

D. people quickly learn what is happening in the world

4.“There is money in fashion” means ______.

A. clothes are expensive B. money comes from fashion

C. people like new things D. fashions make big money
