For Western
designers, China and its rich culture have long
been an inspiration for Western
creative.
“It's no secret
that China has always been a source
(
来源
) of inspiration for
designers,” says Amanda Hill,
chief
creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media
company and home to some of the biggest fashion
(
时尚
)
shows.
Earlier
this
year,
the
China
Through
A
Looking
Glass
exhibition
in
New
York
exhibited
140
pieces
of
China
-
inspired
fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of
art, with the aim
of exploring the
influence of
Chinese aesthetics
(
美学
) on Western fashion and
how China has fueled the fashionable imagination
for centuries.
2
The exhibition had record attendance,
showing that there is huge interest in Chinese
influences.
“China is
impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese
models are the faces of beauty and fashion
campaigns
that sell dreams to women all
over the world, which means Chinese women are not
just consumers of fashion
---
they
are
central
to
its
movement.”
Of
course,
only
are
today's
top
Western
designers
being
influenced
by
China
-
some of the
best designers of contemporary fashion are
themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang,
Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz,
Marc Jacobs
-
and beating them
hands down in design and sales,” adds
Hill.
For Hill,
it is impossible not to talk about China as the
leading player when discussing fashion. “The most
famous designers are Chinese, so are
the models, and so are the consumers,” she says.
“China is no longer just
another
market; in many senses it has become the market.
If you talk about fashion today, you are talking
about
China
-
its
influences,
its
direction,
its
breathtaking
clothes,
and
how
young
designers
and
models
are
finally
acknowledging that
in many ways.”

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were
sold through annual subscriptions in America,
usually $$8 to $$10 a
year. Today $$8 or
$$10 seems a small amount of money, but at that
time these amounts were forbidding to most
citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were
read almost only by rich people in politics or the
trades. In addition, most
newspapers
had little in them that would appeal to a mass
audience. They were dull and visually forbidding.
But
the revolution that was taking
place in the 1830s would change all
that.
The trend, then, was
toward the “penny paper”
---
a term referring to papers made widely available
to the
public. It meant any inexpensive
newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant
newspapers that could be bought
in
single copies on the street.
This development did not take place
overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to
buy single copies of
newspapers before
1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go
down to the printer’s office to purchase a
copy.
Street
sales
were
almost
unknown.
However,
within
a
few
years,
street
sales
of
newspapers
would
be
commonplace in eastern
cities. At first the price of single copies was
seldom a penny
-
usually two
or three cents
was charged
---
and some of the older
well
-
known papers charged
five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper”
caught the public's fancy, and soon
there would be papers that did indeed sell for
only a penny.
This new trend
of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not
begin well. Some of the early ventures
(
企
业
) were
immediate failures. Publishers already in
business, people who were owners of successful
papers, had
little desire to change the
tradition. It took a few youthful and daring
businessmen to get the ball rolling.
28.
Which of the following
best describes newspapers in America before the
1830s?
4
A.
Academic.
C.
Inexpensive.
B.
Unattractive.
D.

29.
What did street sales
mean to newspapers?
A.
They would be priced
higher.
B.
They
would disappear from cities.
C.
They could have more
readers.
D.
They
could regain public trust.
30.
Who were the newspapers
of the new trend targeted at?
A.
Local
politicians.
C.
Young publishers.
B.
Common
people.
D.
Rich
businessmen.
31.
What can we say about
the birth of the penny paper?
A.
It was a difficult
process.
C.
It was a robbery of the
poor.
B.
It was a
temporary success.
D.
It was a disaster for
printers.
