A

center
is a
large
group
of stores
facing a
huge
central
enclosed

mall
which
may be
covered,
heated and
air-conditioned.
A shopping
center
is also
surrounded
by a
parking area
with
space
for thousands
of cars.
We can
buy all
kinds of
food and
get
anything
we
need
in a shopping
center.
Unlike
a supermarket,
where
groceries are

chiefly
sold,
a shopping
center
provides us
with all
services
besides
food.
We

Passage 2:
Ifyou
are
invited
to someone's
house
in
America
to
dinner,
you
should bring a
gift,
such as a
bunch of flowers or
a box of
chocolates.
If
you
give
a
host
a
wrapped
gift,
he/she
may
open it in
front

of
you.
Opening a
gift
in
front of
you
is
considered
polite.
It
shows
that the host
is
excited about
receiving
the
gift
and
wants
to show
hrs/her
appreciation
to
you
immediately.
Even
if
the host
doesn't like it,

he/she will
tell a
"white
lie"
and say how much
helshe likes
the
gift
to
prevent
the
guest
from
feeling
sad.

What
should
a

Passage 3:
When
pilots
first
started to
fly
above the
clouds
many
years
ago,
the sunlight
was
too
strong
that they could
not
see anything, and even some
of
them
got
sick.
So
in
I920's
a
young

pilot
asked
The
Bausch and Lomb
Company
to
help. B&L
made
green-
coloured
glass
that stopped some of the
sunlight.
Put
into
glasses,
these
immediately
became the
standard dark
glasses
for
pilots. The
company called
them Ray-Bans,
and
pilots
everywhere
wear
them.

In
1937,
Bausch
and Lomb developed a
glass
that
didn't break easily. This
glass
also
reduced
the sun
glare
as well as
its light.
The
new
glasses
were
so
good
that the
US
Air
force
gave
B&L
a contract.
After
that
every

pilot
and
crew
member
during World
War
II
wore Ray-Bans.
1. Who were the first
persons
to
wear
Ray-Bans?
2. Why
did
Bausch
and
Lomb
develop
Ray-Bans?
