If you want to add a bit of attitude to your wardrobe(衣柜) this summer, a slogan T-shirt may be just what you are looking for.

Slogan T-shirts, also known as message T-shirts, have long been a means of telling the world what we care about. For instance, in the 1960s and 70s, people protesting against the Vietnam War got their message across with T-shirt slogans such as “Make Love Not War”.

In the 1980s, slogan T-shirts reached the peak of their popularity after British designer Katharine Hamnett’s “Choose Life” T-shirt was worn by pop band Wham in one of their music videos. Celebrities continue to play a role in popularizing the trend today. From Paris Hilton’s “I Love Shoes, Bags and Boys” to Eva Longoria’s “I Want More Privacy”; from Chris Martin’s “Stop Handgun Violence” to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s “Save the Future”, stars have been letting their T-shirts do the talking.

And 2011 has seen the emergence of a number of new T-shirt slogans. Here are some of the most popular ones: Save Japan!

This is a line of slogan T-shirts designed by celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Lady Gaga to support recovery efforts in earthquake-stricken Japan. The T-shirts feature words of encouragement from the celebrities, such as “Through Struggle We Unite and Overcome” from Orlando Bloom.

Public Enemy #1 Is Dead

Hours after Barack Obama announced the killing of Osama bin Laden, excited Americans started celebrating the death of the September 11 mastermind with T-shirt slogans including“Public Enemy #1 Is Dead” and“It Took Obama to Get Osama”, according to the Washington Post.

Thank You for the Day Off

This is a British royal wedding inspired T-shirt slogan, as the wedding day for William and Kate was made a public holiday in Britain. Even if you couldn’t care less about royal weddings, everybody loves a day off work! I heart NY

The “I heart NY” T-shirt is still very popular today, but its origin dates back to the mid 1970s when the New York State tourism department needed a slogan to convince people that New York is a good city to visit. Graphic designer Milton Glaser dreamt up the slogan.

The following symbols have appeared on clothes labels for four decades, each one chosen by international experts for its simplicity and clarity.
Yet for most people, washing instructions might as well be written in Martian.
According to a new poll, nine in ten people are unable to decipher common symbols used on clothes labels. Even those who have mastered the difference between a wool and a synthetics(化学合成物)wash admit being baffled by the confusing array(排列)of boxes, circles and crosses used to give advice about drying and bleaching(漂白).
The findings come from a poll of 2,000 people carried out by YouGov for Morphy Richards. A third of people surveyed said that they recognized none of the several symbols shown, while the only symbol recognized by more than half of people was the iron with a single dot. Around 70 per cent knew it meant "iron on a low heat". Just 10 per cent sign knew the sign for "do not dry clean", while only 12 per cent were familiar with "drip dry only".
Despite the sexual revolution, women are still more knowledgeable than men. Awareness was highest among 18 to 29-year-old women---for whom taking care of clothes is clearly important.
Chris Lever, from Morphy Richards, said: "Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, clearly a language that few people in the UK have taken the time to learn."
"Learning the basics such as which icon represents tumble dry and which represents normal wash would go a long way to getting the best out of clothes."
The Home Laundering Consultative Council said it was not surprised to learn that people were unfamiliar with them.
"It's disappointing that there is a lack of recognition, but it's a story that's repeated time and time again," said a spokesman, Adam Mansell. "We are a small organization and we don't have a big budget."






60. Women know more about these common symbols than men, because _________.
A. women have the gift of recognizing these symbols by nature
B. women pay more attention to taking care of clothes in their daily life
C. women have much time to know about these symbols
D. women take advantage of the sexual revolution
61. Which of the following can be recognized by the majority of people?
                       
A              B                 C              D
62. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A. Washing clothes is damaging them if we don’t know about some symbols used on clothes labels.
B. Washing clothes is also a cultured knowledge.
C. More and more people devote much time to studying these symbols used on clothes labels.
D. Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, which few people spend time to learn.

“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help deal with climate change,” the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport,” he said.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, give off a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than CO2.
Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. “I have a little bit and enjoy it,” said Torode. “Too much for any person is bad. But there’s a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we’d save a huge amount of carbon emissions.”
Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. “Eating less meat would help, there’s no question about that,” Watson said.
However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “Some ideas were contradictory,” he said. “For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.”
【小题1】What is directly related to global warming?

A.Consumption of meat. B.Growth of cattle.
C.Methane from ruminants. D.Processing of meat.
【小题2】Who holds a view opposite to the others’ in the passage?
A.Rajendra Pachauri.B.John Torode. C.Robert Watson. D.Chris Lamb.
【小题3】It is implied in the passage that _____.
A.we should try to keep away from cattleB.ruminants should not be left outdoors
C.the meat industry will soon close downD.we must do our duty to save the earth
【小题4】 Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Less meat, slower global warming
B.More animals, more greenhouse gas
C.Less imported food, better our environment
D.Greater diet change, smaller climate change

Three high students become heroes after their act of saving a baby’s life.
Andrew Willis, 15, his brother Chris, 13, and friend Reece Galea, 14, were walking along Swallow Drive on their way to school on May 23, when Nicholle Price ran out of her house, shouting for help. Her six-month-old son Corey had swallowed (吞下) an earring (耳环) and the young mother couldn’t ring for help because something was wrong with her phone. The three teenagers rushed to the aid of Ms Price, called an ambulance (救护车), calmed her down and waited with her until the ambulance arrived before heading to school.
Ms Price, Corey and his grandmother Joyce Finnie visited the school last Thursday to thank the boys for their kind action. “It’s good to know that there are still some good people who will stop and help,” Ms Price said. “While I was shouting for help, a woman walking her dog went straight past, without stopping. I don’t know what would have happened if these boys had not stopped.”
The teenagers were shocked at the attention they received at school for their heroic act but admitted that the incident was nerve-racking(刺激神经的). “We heard her shouting so we knew something wasn’t right,” Andrew said. “We thought someone had died. It was scary (惊慌的) but we just did what we had to do.”
Just as proud as the boys’ parents is their principal, Tim McCallum.
After two days in hospital, Corey has now fully recovered. “He’s got two new teeth to show,” Ms Price said. “I have to keep a closer eye on him. He’s into everything now and grabs whatever he finds to put it straight into his mouth.”
【小题1】The three high students were _____ when a woman ran out of her house shouting for help.

A.playing near the house
B.on their way to school

【小题2】Ms Price spoke of a woman walking her dog without stopping to show _____.
A.how dangerous the case was
B.how brave the three boys were

A.they didn’t expect they would be given so much praise
B.they felt excited to have become so famous after the incident
C.they were supposed to receive so many prizes for their good deed
