For most people, the word "fashion (时尚)" means "clothes"
. But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "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. Newspapers, 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.

There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam (蒸汽) come up from under the ground. It is a large island in New Zealand.
Our earth is a ball of very hot rock. It is a good thing for us that the outside part is cold.
The earth's outside part has cracks (裂缝) in it in some places. In New Zealand it seems to have more cracks than in other places on the earth. The people who live in these places make use of the heat (热) that comes from inside the earth. Some of them use the heat to cook. They put food into a basket and place it in the water. Washing clothes is done in much the same way. Many people bring the hot water from below the earth into their homes. In this way they get hot water and steam for cooking and washing, and for
heating their homes.
For most of us, the heat under our feet is too far away to use. The people who get heat from inside the earth are lucky. They need not pay for it.
(1) The inside part of our earth has ________.
[ ]
A. a very high temperature
B. very cold rocks
C. a large island
D. hot water and steam
(2) New Zealand has heat coming from under the ground in ________.
[ ]
(3) In New Zealand the earth's heat
[ ]
A. hurts many people
B. is put to good use
C. is not used at all
D. must be paid
