If you want to add a bit of attitude to your wardrobe(衣柜) this summer, a slogan T-shirt may be just what you are looking for.
Slogan T-shirts, also known as message T-shirts, have long been a means of telling the world what we care about. For instance, in the 1960s and 70s, people protesting against the Vietnam War got their message across with T-shirt slogans such as “Make Love Not War”.
In the 1980s, slogan T-shirts reached the peak of their popularity after British designer Katharine Hamnett’s “Choose Life” T-shirt was worn by pop band Wham in one of their music videos. Celebrities continue to play a role in popularizing the trend today. From Paris Hilton’s “I Love Shoes, Bags and Boys” to Eva Longoria’s “I Want More Privacy”; from Chris Martin’s “Stop Handgun Violence” to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s “Save the Future”, stars have been letting their T-shirts do the talking.
And 2011 has seen the emergence of a number of new T-shirt slogans. Here are some of the most popular ones: Save Japan!
This is a line of slogan T-shirts designed by celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Lady Gaga to support recovery efforts in earthquake-stricken Japan. The T-shirts feature words of encouragement from the celebrities, such as “Through Struggle We Unite and Overcome” from Orlando Bloom.
Public Enemy #1 Is Dead
Hours after Barack Obama announced the killing of Osama bin Laden, excited Americans started celebrating the death of the September 11 mastermind with T-shirt slogans including“Public Enemy #1 Is Dead” and“It Took Obama to Get Osama”, according to the Washington Post.
Thank You for the Day Off
This is a British royal wedding inspired T-shirt slogan, as the wedding day for William and Kate was made a public holiday in Britain. Even if you couldn’t care less about royal weddings, everybody loves a day off work! I heart NY
The “I heart NY” T-shirt is still very popular today, but its origin dates back to the mid 1970s when the New York State tourism department needed a slogan to convince people that New York is a good city to visit. Graphic designer Milton Glaser dreamt up the slogan.

Chess-playing machines were a common feature at the 19th century carnivals(狂欢节) .They would take on all competitors and usually wan, but they were all frauds(骗局)with human beings concealed inside.
Two centuries later, the “machine” is real.
A computer programmer Deep Fritz held world champion, Vladimir Kramnik, to a 4-4 tie. In doing so, Kramnik felt just short of avenging (复仇)the 1997 defeat of his predecessor Garry Kasparov at the hands of IBM's Deep Blue.
Deep Fritz is a commercially available product produced by Germany's Chessbase Gmbh. In this match it was running on 8,900 Mhz processors and could analyze 3 million positions a second.
Kramnk admitted he found the match exhausting. “ I need some time to recover. ”he said comparing the match with his 2000 defeat of Kasparov. “The pressure is similar but preparing against a computer is much more difficult. It has all the knowledge and you have to be prepared for all openings. With a human, you know that certain openings don't suit his style and won't happen, but not with a computer. ”
“The games themselves were different,” he said, “Against a computer, you have a feeling that if you make one mistake, it's over. So it's like going through a minefield. You're always watching for tactics, even in a quiet position.”
He also said that computers play faster. “The game has a different rhythm and it puts more pressure on you.”
“The main problem, ”he said, “is that you can never understand its logic. In a human sense, it has no logic. With a human opponent, you feel him and you know what path he will take.”
Chess enthusiasts have been arguing for centuries whether it's an art, a science, a sport or something else.
Kramnik doesn't see the emergence of computers making any difference to this argument. “Chess is very wide. It's not merely these things but a small model of the world. ”
Next spring, Kramnik is scheduled to defend his title as Einstein Classical Chess World Champion against Peter Leko of Hungary. While he welcomes a rematch against Fritz, it's not certain when it will take place.
1.The difficulties of competing with the computer doesn't lie in that ________.
[ ]
A.you can never understand its logic
B.the computer plays faster
C.it has all knowledge and you have to prepare for all openings
D.if you make one mistake, it's over
2.The underlined word “exhausing” ( in Para. 5 ) means ________.
[ ]
A.making something interesting
B.making someone excited
C.making someone tired
D.making something endless
3.Put the following events in the right order:
(1) Garry Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue .
(2)Chess-playing machines were not real.
( 3 ) After competing with Deep Fritz, Kramnik felt exhausted .
(4)Kramnik's competition with Peter Leko of Hungary.
[ ]
A.(2)-(4)-(1)-(3)
B.(2)-(1)-(3)-(4)
C.(2)-(3)-(4)-(1)
D.(1)-(A)-(3)-(2)
4.What did Kramnik think of the chess?
[ ]
A.It became more and more difficult after the chess-playing machines were invented.
B.Chess is an art, a science, a sport, etc.
C.It's more and more popular, with the computer developing.
D.Chess is a small world which is wide.
