21、On the court, the catwalk, or at the club or corner store, sneakers (or trainers, or sport shoes, or whatever you might call them) seem to include every form, function and fantasy-across sport, fashion, art, movies and music.【1】 “What appealed to me was to tell the story of sneakers in a design context as they are common everyday designed objects that have taken on such great meaning in many people’s lives,” says Ligaya Salazar, the curator of Sneakers Unboxed.
【2】 And, in the process, the community has developed its own identity separate from the fashion community at large. Clearly, there’s something here that draws people in, so what makes these shoes so popular? “I think it’s true that a lot of people just buy expensive shoes because they look cool,” professor Joshua Hoang from Eleanor Roosevelt College said. “However, I also think that there are a lot of people who feel a deeper connection with their shoes.” For many “sneakerheads”, shoes aren’t just about how they look or feel. 【3】
Today, most shoes become meaningful through their association with a well-known star. Many basketball players like Kobe Bryant and James Harden have received their own shoe line. 【4】
However, clear boundaries are hard to draw, as there are simply too many different kinds of fans now that the culture has become mainstream.【5】 It is very likely to create an unhealthy atmosphere among their biggest fan club: The youth. And special editions have driven up prices of some common models as well, drawing complaints from ordinary customers. They said that it’s hard to get a pair of normal shoes for an affordable price.
A．This business strategy has become a main part.
B．Every shoe has a story, something that people remember it by.
C．No one knows why it is so sudden that the young are fond of sneakers.
D．However, the prices of sneakers have become a standard to compare with other teens.
E．Over several decades, sneakers have sealed their social standing as a pop-culture currency.
F．The hobby of collecting expensive sneakers has grown from being a subculture to mainstream.
G．This has also led to unimaginable high prices to some of the rare or super-limited shoes.
22、 The British people have just discovered a new country. It’s called the UK! More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays (July-August). After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday”, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy. As a result, the Club 18-30 holiday became popular. Young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialised with other groups of young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In recent years, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a large increase in bookings. That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, for some foreign tourists, the UK is a cheaper place to visit than previously because of changes in the value of the British pound.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.

A.Young people went abroad with their family.

【2】Why do British people prefer domestic holidays now?
A.They are wealthier and more social.
B.The global weather is becoming predictable.
C.The UK is famous for its beautiful scenery.
D.The expense on foreign holidays is unsteady.
【3】How is the text mainly organized?
A.In order of frequency. B.In order of time.
C.In order of space. D.In order of importance.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Holidays and Habits B.Weather and Scenery
C.Travels and Economies D.Package Holiday and Culture
23、Many people believe it is crucial to have gender equality in the workplace. But achieving equality means overturning centuries of social norms. Recent research by Oxford University suggests that sometimes it is women themselves who are limiting their career opportunities.
The study surveyed 3,698 students from 63 schools and colleges across the UK . It found out that female students tend to choose “worthwhile” jobs, while male students often go after jobs that offer big salaries. Researchers noticed that secondary school girls said they were more willing to accept low-income jobs like charity work or museum positions, while boys focused more on getting high-prestige careers, reported The Guardian.
“Compared with boys, girls are more concerned about each aspect of job application. They are more interested in careers that offer job security, in a cause they ‘feel good about’,” Jonathan Black, director of the Oxford University Careers Service, told The Telegraph.
China faces a similar gender gap. This month, a poll by Chongqing Morning Post indicates that female college graduates care more about their working environment. As for male graduates, career prospects are more important. “This has the knock-on effect that girls may be self-limiting their choice of careers, especially because the types of jobs they seek often have informal entry processes, like getting an internship or doing unpaid work,” Black said.
【1】What kind of job do girl graduates tend to look for?
