It helps us enter a new world and liberate us from the real w orld we come from; it stimulates our emotions and allows us enjoy and celebrate the variety and difference from books; it aids us to get out of confusion in a material world and to discover the real meaning of the life. Simply put, books are supremely influential in the way we live. Homerun book might be the answer for the book that everyone should read. It describes the firs t reading experience that induces such pleasure and satisfaction that you cannot put it down and it may range from the classics to the most recent. Everyone is looking for their own homerun b ooks. And what is yours?unit3No history of fashion in the years 1960 to 2010 can overlook or underestimate two constant fact ors: jeans and hemlines.Jeans evolved from the work clothes in the Californian gold rush in the mid-19th century to a symbol of youth, new ideas, rebellion and individuality with its expansion to Europe and Asia in late 1950s.Then the hippie movement of the mid-1960s and early 1970s and the punk period had impact on the design of jeans.In the mid-1980s, denim remained popular with the young. But the late 1980s saw jeans not at all what Levi Strauss originally intended while from 2000, designer jeans gained huge popularit y.While jeans came to be popular on the worldwide scale, hemlines have a more peculiar signifi cance (with only a few exceptions) as an indicator of economy, i.e., as the stock market rises, so do hemlines, and when it falls, so do they.The 1960s witnessed the miniskirt by Mary Quant whereas the mid-1980s saw knee-length skir ts –the economy was unstable.Gradually hemlines started to rise again...until the world stock market crash in 1987.Then in January 2000 the New York technology stock market collapsed. As usual, so did hemlines. But merely one year later, the stock market began to recover, and the micro miniskirt returned. Hemlines were higher than they had been for many years.But from 2007, hemlines were no longer following the stock market. They became predictors.In conclusion, the constant factors over 1960s and 2010 are denim and hemlines and the gr eatest influences have been a 19th-century Californian clothes manufacturer and a young designer in the Swinging London of the 1960s.Today, we are caught in the credit crunch because banks set traps which appeal to our vanity an d greed and sometimes to our basic need for survival.The banks give a false sense of superiority to people with exclusive gold credit cards in hand. Th ey target people who are prone to impulse-buying, and potentially bad credit risks, tempted to sp end more than they have, and liable to fall behind with repayments. They lure impoverished stud ents with unrealistic interest rates.They charge people who go over the limit the exorbitant interest but omit to tell them the intere st paid is not for the debt, but for the overspend of the overdraft. By attracting us with their en dless publicity for loans of money, the banks earn money.So, how to get ourselves out of the traps? Lay out all of your credit cards in a line, take a large pair of scissors and cut them into small pieces. Then the banks have no potential to tempt mon ey away from youUnit5 SummaryResearchers have found that men gossip as much as women and men spend much more time tal king about themselves. However, men don’t admit they gossip, instead they define it as “excha nging information”.The reason why female gossip actually sounds like gossip is that there seem to be three principal factors involved. Firstly, the tone rule. Women adopt a tone which is high and quick, or someti mes a stage whisper, but always highly animated, while men gossip in the same flat, unemotional manner as any other piece of information. Secondly, the detail rule. For women, a detailed spec ulation about possible motives, causes and outcomes is crucial. However, men find all this detail boring, irrelevant and unmanly. Thirdly, the feedback rule. Female listeners are required to be at l east as animated and enthusiastic as speakers. However, men who respond in such a manner wo uld be considered inappropriately girly, or even disturbingly effeminate. For them, a suitable exple tive is better to convey their surprise.Thus the vital difference between male and female gossip lies in the positive response of the aud ience.。
