Have you ever seen snow? Many people in the world have not. Some countries never have snow; some have only a little on the tops of very high mountains. In the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England, there is usually little.
When a student from a warm country comes to England in autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first. There are often dark clouds, grey sky and cold rain in England in autumn; and most students from warm countries do not like this.
But snow is different . Though it is cold, it is also beautiful. Perhaps, after several(几个) dark mornings, the student wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks “Is it so late?” and jumps out of bed. But no, it is not very late. He looks out of the window and there is the snow on the ground and on the houses and everywhere. The light of his room comes from clean, beautiful snow.

Charles Dickens, one of the greatest English writers, was born in 1812, in one of the small towns of England.
When Dickens was nine years old, the family moved to London, the capital of England. There were a few younger children in the family. Their life was poor, so Dickens could not go to school.
Only until his father was out of prison(监狱), could Charles go to school.
At that time he was twelve years old. But he did not finish school. Two years later he began to work. He often went to the library to read books. He read a lot. Then Dickens wrote lots of novels(小说) and stories all his life. Dickens died over a hundred years ago, but people are still reading his books with great interest.

For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way: “she was wearing a fashionable colour.”
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs….and in languages.
Fashions change as time passes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always been changing. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson’s in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about new things much more often than in the past. Newspaper, radio, telephone and television send information from one country to another in very short stretches of time(一段时间).
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

12. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

B. Fashions can be found everywhere.
C. New fashions can lead people to buy new things.
D. Today fashions change more quickly than before.
13. Why do fashions change very quickly?
A. Because people read newspaper every day.
B. Because radios send information from one country to another.
