just clothing and hairstyles that are in style one year and,out of date,the next;its a whole way of living.,One year,people wear hats and blue jeans;they drink white wine and eat at Japanese restaurants:for exercise they run several miles a day.The next year,however,everything has changed:women wear long skirts;people drink expensive water from France,and eat at Italian restaurants:everyone seems to be exercising at health clubs.,Para.1-2,Chinese,Our Changing Lifestyle:,Trends,and Fads,Text A,Almost nothing in modern life gets away from the influence of fashion:food,music,exercise,books,language,movies,furniture,and even names go,in and out of fashion,.The interests that people follow can change very quickly.,Para.3,Chinese,Text A,In the United States,even people can be“in”or“out”.Americans enjoy following the lives of famous people:actors,sports heroes,well-known artists,politicians,and the like,.But Americans also,pay a lot of attention to,people who have no special ability at all.In 1981,for example,an unknown elderly woman,appeared,in a TV,advertisement,in which she looked at a very small hamburger and,complained,loudly,“Wheres the beef?”These three words made her famous.Suddenly she appeared in magazines and newspapers,and on TV shows.She was immediately popular.She was“in”.However,this kind of,fame,does not last long.Such

money,this,desire,for money doesnt explain fads in other,areas,such as language.For example,why have teenagers in the past twenty-five years usedat different timesthe words groovy or awesome in conversation instead of simply saying wonderful?According to an expert in popular culture,people who follow fads are not foolish or vain;they simply want to be part of something new and,creative,.,Para.5,Chinese,Text A,Fads are not limited to the United States,however.Fads are common in any,country that,has a strong,economy,(e.g.Britain,Japan,and Germany).However,in,the United,States,there is an,additional,reason for fads:,most Americans seem to,feel that,something is wrong if there isnt,frequent,change in their lives.,Para.6,Chinese,Text A,Its sometimes difficult to see the difference between a fad and a trend.A fad lasts a very short time and is not very important.A social trend,however,survives,a long time and becomes a true part of modern culture.The use of personal computers,for example,is a trend;a fad,on the other hand,could be the use of certain types of computer games.,Who knows what changes in lifestyle will happen next?,Para.7&8,Chinese,Text
