When nt in use, the hinges allwed the tw pieces f wd t fld back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets. Jeanie called her inventin the “Kiddie Stl”.

Several days ag Spanish fashin brand Zara sparked a fierce debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese mdel with freckles (雀斑). Actually, there are sme different beauty standards between the East and the West.
In East Asia, freckles might be cnsidered a “destructive weakness” fr celebrities, especially actrs r singers. Althugh nrmal peple dn’t care that much, subcnsciusly they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are mre likely t appear if peple are ut in the sun frequently, and mst East Asian wmen avid the sun as best they can.
Having freckles, instead, is a trademark fr uncnventinal beauty in the Western wrld, and sme call freckles “angel kisses”. Fr mst westerners, having freckles is n lnger just smething yu have t live with; instead, it is smething t be desired. After all, nt everyne is lucky enugh t have freckles.
When it cmes t eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards dn’t see eye-t-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the mst beautiful. If their eyes have a duble-fld eyelid, that is cnsidered perfect. Hwever, mst freigners seem t prefer Chinese girls with slanted (斜的) and narrw eyes and eyebrws.

The three yung celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: wmen with cute, girly features. Mst wmen in Asia try their best t stay yung accrdingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a mre mature lk shws independence and uniqueness. The superher Wnder Wman is an ideal type fr mst.
As ties cntinue t grw between China and the West, it is unavidable that these beauty standards develp. But ne thing’s fr sure-n matter hw yu lk, yu are wh yu are, and that shuld be satisfactin enugh.
12. What d mst western peple think f having freckles?
A. It is smething unbearable.B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is smething t wish fr.D. It is a symbl f traditinal beauty.
13. What d the underlined wrds “see eye-t-eye” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Have the same pinin.B. Recgnize their strengths.
C. Misunderstand each ther.D. Argue against ne anther.
14. Why d western girls prefer t appear mature?
A. They think this beauty standard is better.B. They want t lk independent and unique.
C. They hpe t have high ppularity in Asia.D. They admire Wnder Wman very much.
15. What des the text mainly talk abut?

Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a mre mature lk shws independence and uniqueness. The superher Wnder Wman is an ideal type fr mst.
As ties cntinue t grw between China and the West, it is unavidable that these beauty standards develp. But ne thing’s fr sure-n matter hw yu lk, yu are wh yu are, and that shuld be satisfactin enugh.
