6 . Follow the tips when buying food and you will start eating better at less cost.

Try your local farmer’s market. I always check out my local farmer’s market for produce, especially for fruits and vegetables that are in season.     1     Not only that but you’ll be helping to stimulate (激发) your local economy by buying from local farmers and you get to interact with them too.

    2     You may not want a full blown home vegetable garden in your backyard but certain spices and vegetables can be grown for relatively cheap and without much daily maintenance. The greatest benefit of growing your own produce is that after the upfront cost of buying the seeds, the rewards are endless as long as you water and take care of the plants.     3     By doing so, you can learn more about the benefits of a home garden and how you can save money.

Join a food co-op (食品合作社). Joining a food co-op can really help you to save money on meat. Buy in large quantities in a food co-op and if you have an extra freezer, freeze the meat and eat it for the next month or two. Check out what kind of co-ops are available in your area and join one.     4    

Rethink your meals. Finally, try coming up with meals that use fresh ingredients but can be prepared in large quantities. That way you can easily reheat and eat again. Also, try cutting out frozen ready-made meals and TV dinners like pizzas and other frozen organic foods.     5     And you want to go organic for the health benefits too, right?

A．It is a practical means of buying food with less money.

B．Grow your own vegetables in your backyard home garden.

C．Choose to buy food that is most important to you.

D．These can cost nearly double the price of regular frozen foods.

10 . Chinese designers are setting themselves apart from the global competition today by turning to China’s rich history for inspiration to create their contemporary clothes.

Long before the invention of the qipao, there was a similar-looking type of clothing that most Chinese wore starting from as early as the 26th century BC. Known as hanfu, these traditional clothes featured loose lapels and long flowing sleeves. While the details changed through the centuries, the style of the hanfu has endured even till today, with a growing number of Chinese designers turning to it for inspiration and infusing (注入) elements of it into their contemporary designs.

“The old style is monotonous and makes people think of patterns featuring dragons and phoenixes. To make it appealing, we need to get rid of the original frame and be innovative,” said Cai Wenqiao, an integrated design undergraduate student.

For her final-year project, Cai designed eight pieces of clothing inspired by the Chinese prose called Peach Blossom Spring by Tao Yuanming. Cai used pink as the main color for all the pieces as it represents the peach blossom. She has also included classic hanfu elements such as embroidery (刺绣) featuring flowers and butterflies. Silk, a common material used to make hanfu, was also the choice material for the project.

“The combination of nostalgia (怀旧) and modern influences should set trends for some time to come. The fashion’s future is far from clear, but what is clear is that Chinese designers’ influence and Chinese heritage infusion are here to stay,” wrote Mike Bastin, senior lecturer at Southampton University.

C．lt is characterized by simplicity and comfort.

D．It dates back hundreds of centuries.

2. What does the underlined word “monotonous” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Inspiring

3. What is Mike’s attitude toward the future of integrating Chinese elements into clothes?

C．Cautious

D．Unclear

4. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．An Eight-year Project of a Chinese Designer
