问题     How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more
    when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any time in our life.  【M1】______
    Few of us are discontent to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave 【M2】______
    enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
    Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us
    that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If w    e do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence
    and deal with every situation confidently ,and with embarrassment.        【M3】______
    Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just in dress. A barber       【M4】______
    today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and
    girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grand-
    mothers do. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles         【M5】______
    and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case
    our friends will think we are odd or dull.                                【M6】______
    What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience
    or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can
    establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early
    buildings were cold outside, so people wore hats indoors as well as       【M7】______
    outside. In recent time, the late President Kennedy caused a              【M8】______
    depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more
    American men followed his example.
    Today, society is more freer and easier than it used to be.               【M9】______
    It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason,
    you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of
    the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans
    and the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasing       【M10】______
    expensive fashions of the top fashion houses.  
【M2】
