For most people，the word"fashion"means"clothes"．But people may ask the question，"What clothes are in fashion？"And they use the adjective （形容詞）"fashionable"in the same way："She was wearing a fashionable color．"

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 goes．If you look at pictures of people or things from the past，you will see that fashions have always changed．An English house of 1750was different from his grandson in 1860．

Today fashions change very quickly．Some of this is natural （自然的）．We hear about things much more quickly than in the past．Newspapers，radios，telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours．

New fashions mean that people will buy new things，so you see there is money in fashion．

Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize（交往） with, and was used to people from the moment he was born.However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.

That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.

When we first brought him home,Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house,he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.

A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new born cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see,.He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other

around and wrestle（摔跤）.They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.

Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity.
