Women’s fashion is now, some believe, at the turning point of similar magnitude, coinciding with the equally dramatic social transformation of the past several decades. The change has been slow: a century long move away from the padding, corseting, and decoration that made a woman into a kind of ornate bauble(小摆设) and displayed her family’s wealth, and toward the clean, sleek modern lines first introduced with the suffrage movement.
But the shift has accelerated in recent years, thanks to changes in the technology and business of fashion. The use by top designers of "weird, fabulous, unrecognizable synthetics," says Hollander "has ruined the status of certain fabrics, like linen, which has had a leveling effect for the sexes and for' the classes." And the emergence of chains like Club Monaco means that "forward looking style. is disseminated very fast and very cheaply," according to Valerie Steele, a historian and curator of "Shoes: A Lexicon of Style," an exhibition now on view at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. Such stores have succeeded, she believes, because "there’s substantial group of people with a sophisticated eye for design" who are eager for an affordable version of what was once thought to be "dog-whistle fashion," pitched so high that only a few would get it. Against that back-ground, the shoes at FIT look like fashion’s last gasp. The exhibit begins with the most symbolically loaded of women’s shoes: high heels, which Steele calls "a prime symbol of women’s sexual power over men."
That same defiance of feminine expectations is visible throughout the FIT show: in the boot, for instance, with its connotations of machismo and. military power, or the androgynous oxford, made girlisl with a big chunky heel. The show ends, fittingly, with the sneaker. No longer simply a downscale kid wear item, the big, brilliantly colored, high-tech sneaker has become one of the today’s most dramatic fashion statements, asserting street hip and futuristic velocity. Maybe shoes aren’t so indifferent to the changes in modem lives, after all.
The end of men’s lavish attention to fashion marks
A．great political and social changes.
B．aristocracy.
C．social ranks.
D．the great renunciation.

I often hear people say that the lack of women in positions of political leadership is an issue that pales next to world crises-global terrorism, fragile economies, inadequate health care and troubled schools. They see no connection between the frightening situations we're in and the fact that few women sit at the table to determine the solutions.
This fundamental imbalance, with men running the world and women mostly spectators, is not a trivial detail. It is the problem. It is also the one solution we have not tried on and the one most likely to work.
This is not just me talking. Three decades of research in state legislatures, universities, and international public policy centers have proven beyond doubt that women, children, and men all benefit when women are in leadership. Broader social legislation, benefiting everyone, is more likely to pass if women are in office. We know the power of women as peacemakers in the world from scores of stories about their effectiveness at negotiation, from Ireland to Norway to South Africa and beyond.
We can ill afford to use only half our talent, when we know for a fact that today's complicated challenges demand more than one vision. It's time for real and permanent power sharing, for real and permanent change women ruling side by side with men, allowing their voices to rise with different solutions and allowing men to think outside of the masculine box. In this way, we get fresh eyes and fresh solutions from both genders, applied to both old, durable problems and to new, frightening ones.
This is not a call to move power from the fingers of men and turn it all over to women. Together we can create a different world, shifting the burden from male shoulders and allowing the variety of thought and life experience to transform. our actions—perhaps bringing a greater peace, perhaps allowing men to be better fathers, perhaps providing a new pattern for our security.
It's not easy to get there. Those in power rarely let go without a fight, even if they would benefit by doing so. For women to truly gain the leadership roles, we must be insistent and persistent. We must enlist our many male allies. We must let it be known that we are ready to lead, that in fact we demand it as a birthright. If we think creatively, if we use our community resources, if we support women who say they want to lead, if we use our voices and our votes to get there, we will achieve the transformation of power.
What is said about the actuality of the political leadership structure？
A．Men run the world, while the women watch them.
B．Men operate our world, while women help them.
C．There are almost half women political leaders now.
D．Lack of women political leaders is the biggest problem.
Progressives tried to resolve these problems by organizing ideas and actions around three basic themes. First, they sought to end abuses of power. Second, progressives aimed to replace corrupt power with the power of reformed institutions such as schools, charities, medical clinics, and the family. Third, progressives wanted to apply principles of science and efficiency on a nationwide scale to all economic, social, and political institutions, to minimize social and economic disorder and to establish cooperation, especially, between business and government, that would end wasteful competition and labor conflict.
Befitting their name, progressives had strong faith in the ability of humankind to create a better world. More than ever before, Americans looked to government as an agent of the people that could and should intervene in social and economic relations to protect the common good and substitute public interest for self-interest.
The passage is primarily concerned with ______.
A．the reasons for the Progressive Movement
B．the problems that American society faced between the 1890s and the end of World War I
C．the causes and contents of the Progressive reform
D．the belief that Americans possessed in their society
Unlike in the opening ceremony, with its orderly parade of countries and their athletes, the closing ceremony brought flag bearers congregating in the middle, and athletes filing in somewhat haphazardly and many dressed less formally.
Beijing had staked everything on the Games, galvanizing the nation, spending billions to rebuild the ancient capital, erecting fantastic stadiums and producing the kind of opening and closing ceremonies that can only be created in China, with tens of thousands of performers dazzling a global television audience the vibrant displays of color and mass synchronization.
The 29th Olympiad was supposed to be China's coming out party, a show of its rising economic and political power and its reemergence as a global power. And in many ways it was. But the Games also turned into a dramatic show of this country's athletic power, with China hauling in 51 gold medals, enough to top the gold medal tables and unseat the United States, which won 36.
听力原文： A person's social prestige seems to be determined mainly by his or her job. Occupations are valued in terms of the incomes associated with them, although other factors can also be relevant—particular the amount of education a given occupation requires and the degree of control over others it pro vides. The holders of political power also tend to have high prestige.
Unlike power and wealth, which do not seem to be becoming more equally shared, the symbols of prestige have become available to an increasing number of Americans. The main reason is the radical change in the nature of jobs over the course of this century. In 1900 nearly 40 percent of the labor force were farm workers and less than 20 percent held white-collar jobs. At the beginning of the 1980s, however, less than 5 percent of the labor force worked on farms and white-collar workers were the largest single occupation al category. Blue-collar workers, the largest category in the mid-fifties, now constitute less than a third of all workers. The increase in the proportion of high-prestige jobs has allowed a much greater number of Americans to enjoy these statuses and the life-styles that go with them.
