Jack Baines is a self-made millionaire, but his beginnings were very lowly. He was the youngest of eight children. His father had a 16 in a cotton mill (纱厂), but he was often 17__ to work because of poor health. The family couldn’t afford to pay the rent or bills, and the children often went hungry. After leaving school at the age of 14, Jack was   18   what to do when Mr. Walker, his old teacher, offered to lend him ￡100 to start his own __19__ .
It was just after the war. Raw materials were not enough, and Jack saw a 20   in scrap metal(废弃金属). He bought bits of metal and stored it in an old garage. When he had built up a large amount, he sold it and 21    plenty of money.
Jack 22     working hard. After one year he succeeded in repaying the ￡100.
By the time Jack was 30 years old he had 23      his first million, and he wanted to 24 this achievement by doing something “grand”. 25 _  all his money it was possible to build a beautiful home for himself and his parents. In 1959, “Baines Castle” was built in the heart of the Lancashire countryside. It was one of the finest buildings in the country.
Jack has recently sold “Baines Castle” for ￡500 million, 26     Jack still can’t get used to 27 the good life. He can often _28_ drinking with the locals at the local pub.
“I remember being very 29 as a child, but never 30 as a child,” says Jack, “and I will never forget where I came from and who I am.”

My topic is fashion(时装). Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over ＄600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.
However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.
We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.
