Today, whether or not you follow the latest trends, one’s fashion and choice of dress is a reflection of one’s individual style and tastes. Can you still remember how you dressed at the start of China’s opening-up? Today’s program is one of a special series commemorating (纪念) the 30th anniversary of reform and opening-up in China. In these two episodes we focused on fashion and style and were honored to invite two special guests to join us in studio—Ms. Zhang Ling from Raffles-BICT Inter-national College and Alex from Esquire magazine.
When we talk about fashion, color is absolutely crucial. A color can reflect the mood of an individual person or the spiritual temperament(性情) of entire society or age. Mrs. Zhang and Alex talked about the colors which have left the greatest impression on them. In the 1960s and 70s, blue and grey were the dominant colors at the time and people had limited choices to dress up. But fast forward to the present, you will find no difficulty in choosing from array(大批) of vivid colors in the market.
We also gave our guests a list of keywords—traditional brands, jeans, DIY, international brands, personal dress for them to choose from in order to represent the fashion of their generation. We find out that for every keyword our guest chose, there was a special story behind it. Some of the stories brought us back to old times—we even brought some vintage(古老的) clothing from the 60s and 70s up on stage and invited some audience members to try them on.
When we mention fashion, we must mention brand. With increasing disposable(可自由使用的) income and purchasing power of the Chinese, many luxury brands have flocked into China. However, you could imagine in 1980s, when the first inter-national brand came to China, it unveiled(展示) a fashion storm among the Chinese.
1. China’s opening-up dates back to _______.
A.the 1960s | B.the 1970s | C.the 1980s | D.the 1990s |
2. All of the following EXCEPT _______ are keywords in representing the fashion of our generation.
A.traditional brands | B.international brands |
C.personal dress | D.special stories |
3. The fact that many luxury brands have flocked into China shows that _______.
A.China has given up its own culture |
B.Chinese have been tired of array of vivid colors in the markets |
C.Chinese have increased their disposable income and purchasing power |
D.China has grown tired of its traditional brands |

To be bold. Let’s face it; you can’t please everyone. 3.In fact, explore and experiment with different styles that may be completely non-conventional(非常规的) to find something that you prefer.
Keep track of recent trends. 4.Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experience in life. Keeping up with the latest trends will help you reshape your style.
5.You can wear a dress exactly how you want it, however, your attitude can make a significant difference on how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if you can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you. So trust yourself and wear it confidently.

B. You should discover your true feeling.
C. You can and should have your own style.

Whether in your life or work, the following things are not the reasons for you to feel embarrassed. It's OK and just move on.
1. Mistakes while learning
There will be times when you have people above you(a boss) or even next to you(a coworker) that will get really annoyed with you for“ruining" something "important". 1. Even if you make mistakes and get a punishment, persevere and push on. You do not need to be embarrassed for learning from your mistakes.
2.Food choices
People are different and have different taste buds(味蕾).Whether it is healthy or not, food is a choice and it is part of life. 2. You do not need to be embarrassed for food you do or do not like. Tell them, "It is a personal choice I have made, and I am committed to it.”
3.Your past
Allowing positive experiences to define, limit, improve, and outshine(凸显)you may cause you to be caught up in the past and unable to truly live in the present. Whether your history is positive, negative, or somewhere in between, don't hold on to the negative experiences and let it reflect your current behavior, 3.
4. The clean lines of your car/home/workspace
When everyone gets in the car, you realize your Starbuck bags are still on the floor. So what? Think about it this way: everyone has a"messy" aspect of their life. Maybe their home is completely clean, but the relationship with their spouse(配偶)is messy. Someone's car gets washed once a week, but his/her work life could use some help. 4. We don't apologize to others about our personal limitations. By being outwardly embarrassed, it only brings more attention to the fact!
5. Putting yourself first

A. It is simply a personal choice that people make for their own reasons.
B. It is okay to be selfish from time to time.
