For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no — that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat. One answer is, fashion stylist.
As more brands open stores in China to expand their reach, the increase in outdoor advertising might light a stylist spark in a girl's heart. Fashion magazine offices are crowded with interns (實習生), and fashionable brand HR managers get thousands of resumes of people looking for a stylist position.
"It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai. "There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive."
The attractiveness of this line of work is not only in the fabulous clothes. And it's not like it used to be: an insider's job with little recognition and even less money. Now it's a career with a profile, prospects and pay packet.
Girls can find it hard to ignore this tempt and the field is opening up to normal girls, not only style or fashion design majors. "A fashion designer knows how to make a dress pretty, but a stylist knows how to make a person beautiful, from head to toe," explained He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.
"You have to be 'all-round': from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories(配飾) to the event," said He. "You have to know everything, and handle several things at the same time. It's challenging. That's why I love it."
It's not, however, without its downside, no matter how great you may think it is, "It's incredibly hard work," said Chen Qianzhu, a stylist at the Chinese version of Elle magazine. "You need to build good relations with various people — stars, photographers, PR managers, other media, even airlines."
You need to take care of clothes in the workplace and pay for even a tiny spot you get on them, Chen said. "The worst thing is that you might work extremely hard for a week on some serious photos, but if the chief's not satisfied, you do them all over again."
1. A fashion stylist has to do the following EXCEPT _______.
A. make every effort to dress up models
B. make a model attractive, from hair to feet
C. pay for a tiny stain happening to the clothes
D. not to eat and keep a thin figure like a pencil
2. Xue Rui, He Qing and Chen Qianzhu are mentioned in the passage in order to ______.
A. show the strengths and weaknesses of the new type of career
B. compare the different changes about the occupation
C. make the article interesting and convincing
D. support an idea by giving enough evidence
3. The underlined world 'all-round' in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ______.
A. all-star B. all-out C. all-powerful D. all-purpose
4. Where can the passage be found?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a magazine.
C. In an advertisement. D. In an essay written by a graduate.

I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her.
When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie.
“But she will get dark,” they said.
“That’s what she wants,” I told them. “We think darker skin (膚色) is beautiful.”
They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon.
For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (曬黑) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round.
What in the world is going on?
The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their culture’s standard (標準) of beauty.
In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth.
In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn’t have to work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妝容). The tradition survives to this day.
So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard.
But now I am noticing that a new business – the tanning booth (美黑店) – started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define（給…下定義）their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their grandmothers would have to say to them about it!
The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because ______.
A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit
B. the writer’s daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun
C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone
D. with the powerful sunlight the writer’s daughter would have got a suntan
According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty?
A. Women with blond hair. B. Women with a slim figure.
C. Women with tanned skin. D. Women with pale skin.
In the US a winter tan usually means the person _____.
A. is hard-working B. doesn’t have to work
C. has a lot of money and spare time D. is from a very poor family
The writer ______ the tanning booth started up in China.
A. is not interested in B. doesn’t understand
C. doesn’t like D. has mixed feelings about
