How a young designer brought back a fashion house?
Sharon Tal。a graduate of Engineering and Design in Israel,began her career in Paris and moved her way up to head designer in London. But the 33-year-old designer felt a strong desire to return to her native Israel.
Back at home, she began to think about the famous fashion house Maskit, founded in 1953 by Ruth Dayan,a legend in Israel's design world. The brand had everything Tel stood for as a designer. But there was one problem: Maskit had been closed for more than 20 years.
Maskit was founded by Dayan when she visited artists and craftsmen skilled in decorative arts. They were living in small Israeli towns. and she wanted to help them earn a living wage.
From 1960 to 1980. the Maskit Fashion House created more than 2,000 jobs for such craftsmen and ran 10 stores in Israel and one in New York. But by 1994 the industry had changed, and the company shut down. Dayan moved on to focus her time on social causes.
Tal contacted Dayan, and the two arranged a meeting. The rest, as they say, is history. The meeting led to a cooperation to bring back the Maskit brand to life two decades after it closed.
Tal said she wanted to create something that would be hers, but also make a bigger impact. “Our vision is to become a leading international fashion house inspired from Israel,”Tal said.
Reviving such a fashion brand would take time and careful preparations. Tal and Dayan spent a year getting in touch with former employees and collecting Maskit items.

Wings of Rescue, a nonprofit group founded by Yehuda Netanel, hopes to make its 2015 Thanksgiving holiday airlift its biggest event to date with 25 planes carrying more than 1,000 dogs and 100 cats to new homes around the United States.

Then lie said there were more than 1,000 dogs that need homes.”
The airlift will use a variety of aircraft. While most pilots involved are seasoned Wings of Rescue volunteers, there will be a couple of pilots making their first rescue flight.“we’re always looking for new pilots that are willing to join the team,”added Browde。

500 dog owners played the same games at hone that researchers use in the laboratory and contributed data to a study of what goes on inside the minds of their dogs.
In one of the game-like tests, the dogs watched as their owner hid food under one of two cups. Then while the dog'。eves were covered, the owner switched the food to the other cup. And the owners found that most dogs went to where they last saw the food.
The result has been repeated in seven different research groups and more than a dozen different studies. "Most people think dogs use their sense of smell for everything," a researcher said.“But actually dogs use a whole range of senses when solving problems.”
The data were collected through a website called Dognilion. com that was developed by Brian Hare, an associate professor who studies dog cognition(认知).
Analysis of the unusually large data set created by Dognition has also found that all dogs have a unique set of cognitive(认知的)skills that they use to deal with the world around them. Some dogs were found to be good communicators, some had better memories and others were better at taking their owners' perspective.
“Most people think of intelligence as a glass that is more or less full,”Hare said.“ But intelligence is more like ice cream. Everybody has different flavors. Being good at one thing doesn’t mean you will be good at everything else.”
Hare said these kinds of findings were only possible with the big data sets that citizen scientists were able to offer.
“So much is possible when you have this much data,”Hare said. " I’m looking forward to dog owners answering all the big questions that have puzzled scientists for decades.”
32. What did most dogs use to find the hidden food in the test?
A. Memory. B. Feeling. C. Ears. D. Nose.
33. Dog owners actively participated in the research_.
A. to entertain themselves
B. to test the IQ of their dogs
C. to train their dogs to be more intelligent
D. to help find out dogs` problem solving skills'
34. What can we infer from what Hare said?
A. Intelligence is unique to man and dogs.
B. Dogs use the same cognitive skill to handle problems.
C. There is still something about dogs puzzling scientists.
D. Dogs use a whole range of senses when soling problems.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Dogs are not as clever as expected.
B. Citizens contribute a lot to dog research.
C. At-home tests produce findings different from laboratories.
D. Problems puzzled scientists for decades have been solved.
