Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.
For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?
Experts say it’s because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.
Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I’d rather spend the extra money to get something I know I’ll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It’s fake (假的) happiness.”
People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren’t any better. “It’s wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You’ll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”
28. The example of Jim’s report wants to tell us _____.
A. popular brands make people comfortable
B. Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats
C. the hottest brands are of the highest quality
D. less-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands
29. Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?
A. Alexandra & Daniel. B. Emmy & Edmund.
C. Emmy & Alexandra. D. Daniel & Emmy.
30. What does Edmund think of expensive brands?
A. They are not worth the price.
B. They make him feel confident.
- 9 -
C. They need to improve their quality.
D. They pay too much attention to personal likes.
31. The text is mainly about _____.
A. how to buy things reasonably
B. the competition between brands
C. the different values of teenagers
D. whether expensive brands are worth high prices
D

Dear Michael,
Hi! I just came back from Britain last week. I was so lucky that I had the chance to be one of the 25 students from many different countries to visit the UK from October 22 to 30. We visited many places, such as London, Oxford and the Lake District. It was because I learned a lot about British culture and history that London became one of my favourites. I liked Oxford as well, where I saw many old libraries. In addition, the Lake District was beautiful; however, it was a pity that it rained heavily when we were there. What excited me most in Britain was that I made a great number of friends there.
Well, I’d better get back to my homework now. Bye.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ping
