______Bree is a middle-aged lady. She doesn’t like the contemporary styles but prefers clothes of older fashion.

______ Margaret is an office clerk and doesn’t earn a high salary. She wants to buy some ordinary but up-to-date clothes at an acceptable price.

______ . Alice, a young housewife, is now planning a family party. She would like to buy something in preparation for the dinner.

_____ Peter is a sales manager in an international company. He is a fan of fashion and favors French designs.

______ . Richard is a young engineer working at a hi-tech company. He would like to visit some places specializing in men’s clothes.

Abraham & Strauss, more familiarly known as A & S, is a busy store which carries reasonably — priced ready — to make adults and children wear fashions. It is the centerpiece of the largest mall in Manhattan.

Barney’s New York is a favorite among the young professional New Yorkers. It specializes in excellent, but expensive designer clothes. A branch for men is located in the glittering World Financial Center.

Berdorf Goodman is luxurious, very elegant. It carries top-quality contemporary fashions at high prices, specializing in European designers.

Lord & Taylor is famous for its classic and much more conservative fashions for men and women. The store places an emphasis on US designers. You need a strong pair of legs, comfortable shoes and lots of spare time to wander around.

John Lewis has a gorgeous selection of fabrics and haberdashery(男子服饰). Its china, glass and household items make John Lewis, and its well-known partner, Peter Johns, equally popular with Londoners.

The king of London department stores, by tradition, is Harrods. The spectacular food hall has splendid displays of fish, cheese, fruit and vegetables; other specialties include fashions for all ages, china and glass, and household items.

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier---the shark(鲨鱼).

Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.

Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.

If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.

Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.

She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.

Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks(黑边鳍真鲨) off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.

Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”

“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”

It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.

At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.

In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.

She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.

Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even 1. New Zealand has quite free rules about 2. children, names beginning with a 3.  are not allowed. They decided to call him Superman 4. .

In many countries around the world, 5. names for children are becoming more popular. In Britain, you can call a child almost   6.  you like. The only restrictions on parents   7. to offensive(冒犯的) words such as swear words.

 8. parents choose names which come from 9. culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf   10. the character in the Lord of the Rings(指环王) novels and films. 11. , names related to sport are fairly common – 12. 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal(阿森纳) after the football team. Other parents like to 13. names, or combine names to make their own 14. names, a method demonstrated (证实的) by Jordan, the British model, 15. recently invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter by 16. names     Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).

Some names which were previously 17. as old-fashioned have 18. popular again, but the most popular names are not the strange 19. . The top names are fairly   20. , for example, Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.
