    For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way: 
    “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color.”
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. Newspaper, 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.

A、clothes B、many things C、most of the popular things D、everything

 B. 阅读下面短文, 根据括号内所给汉语注释写出单词的正确形式(每空一词)。

 Do you know Roma people? They were {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(普遍) known as Gypsies because they came from Egypt. For a long {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(时期) of time, they travered from place to place.

 Today, the Roma are living all over the world. They have kept their language and many {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(风俗). For example, it's important for Roma to marry other Roma and the parents usually {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(选择) the person their children will marry.

 Romany is the language Roma people used in their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(日常的) lives. However, because the Roma have moved a lot, their language has developed in many different ways. So, it is without {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (疑问) that Roma in one part of the world can hardly understand Roma from another part.

 Roma music is famous around the world, as many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has a great {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(影响) on many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.

 Roma don't usually assimilate(同化) into host countries, as governments {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(阻止) them from marrying the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(当地) people. They even can't travel or wear their traditional clothes. They have been {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(对待) as slaves(奴隶) and forced to change their names.

 But today, the Roma are finding ways to live peacefully with others while keeping their own culture."There is a will within us to continue to live as a people," says George Kaslov, "All the other ethnic (种族) groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going, but not the Roma. We hold out."
