2．"Are you listening，Simon？" the teacher asked.It was a very usual question.

3．Traditionally，baby boys are dressed in blue and baby girls are dressed in pink.We are taught this as children.
But as you grow up，this idea doesn't mean much anymore.Take me，for example，I often wear pink or purple shirts.In fact，I'm wearing a pink shirt while I write this story!
While children might make fun of a boy wearing a pink shirt，I believe there really are no rules about what colors a man or woman can wear.That's how it is in Australia and I've found it to be the case in China as well.There are more and more people who are quite happy to wear lots of creative things.Some men in China and Australia pay as much attention to their appearance as women.
But if you think the idea of boys wearing pink is something new，think again.It isn't original at all Kassia St Clair，the writer of The Secret Lives of Color，said it was very different in the 19th century.She explains that pink was a color worn by men in the military （军队）.Blue，she says，was the color for girls.
Somehow，over the following 100 years，this has changed a lot.But whatever the story is today，don't let it stop you from wearing whatever color you want!
（1）Baby boys typically wearclothes.
A．pink
B．purple
C．blue
D．yellow
（2）The writer might be.
A．a woman
B．a man
C．a Chinese person
D．a soldier
（3）The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 means.
A．children can wear clothes in many different colors
B．pink is only for girls
C．boys cannot wear colorful clothes
D．people can wear whatever colors they like
（4）Paragraph 4 explains that.
A．girls used to wear pink clothes
B．boys wore pink clothes in the past
C．popular colors have changed over time
D．boys used to wear blue clothes
（5）What's the writer's opinion？
A．There are no rules for what colors we should wear.
B．It's uncommon for boys to wear pink clothes.
C．Men should act differently from women.
D．The difference between boys and girls is important.组卷：7引用：1难度：0.6 -
4．Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China.One person，man or woman，stands on stage and tells funny stories，or funny people or funny things that happened to jye.aim.The performers will try their best to make people laugh.Stand-up comedy is different from other forms of acting.An actor usually has a script （剧本） to fall back on and a team of other actors to rely on.
Unlike an actor，a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters.A stand-up performer fails or seeds depending on his or her own talent.It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the West，but it is a new art form in China.Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock & Roast（《脱口秀大会》）.All of its three seasons were popular，especially the third season.When the third season came out last summer，it too the Internet by storm and soon became one of the hottest TV shows in China.The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy.More and more young people have begun watching stand-up comedy，and some even start doing it part-time.
