Passage 1
Fashion trends are around us, and can be exciting. A trend used to happen in a 20-year cycle, but the latest development of the Internet and clothing business has increasingly reduced the length of the cycle. Now, it seems there comes a new fashion trend every couple of months, but it still follows the same stages:
• A trend is usually first brought in during a big fashion show. Reporters, writers, and some other important people collect what they have learned in the show and predict a trend in the near future.
• Then the trend is talked about online and followed by famous people to make it better accepted, which leads to the rise of the trend.
• Once the trend becomes popular, it will go to the public soon. Large clothing companies and shops begin following the trend so that everyone can get their hands on it. This is when the trend gets to the highest point.
• After that, the trend usually falls and becomes out of date. However, this is not always the end, as trends happen in broader cycles and most get popular again.
Following trends can be a great way to try something new and test your style. A survey says some people enjoy following trends because they keep fashion exciting and provide fresh ideas. However, others may not think so, especially when a trend doesn't agree with how they feel about themselves. Trends can be fun, but sometimes prove a waste of money because many people simply see trends as brands(品牌). So, should we follow fashion trends?
Clearly, there's no right answer as to whether to follow trends or not, since it depends on how they go with your values, spending, and sense of self. It does not hurt to watch trend reports, but never choose to follow them unless you really think they fit with your personal style.
1. How long does a new fashion trend last now?
2. Which situation means the trend has reached the highest point?
3. Why do some people dislike following trends according to the survey?
4. Do you prefer brands when buying clothes? Why or why not?
