A lot of them also like cars, robots and spaceships. But most girls clothing only has pictures of flowers, butterflies or horses.Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars. So her dress has pictures of cars on it.“We havent found this type of dress in the store,” Cathy, Bellas mother, says.The car dress is from a new girls clothing line called Princess Awesome. Rebecca Melsky set up the business. She says its products (产品) for girls have some designs normally found on boys clothes.It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old, who liked robots, trucks and spaceships.“One day when I walked through a girls store. I thought to myself I wish theyd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that. And I thought someone should do that. Maybe I should do that.” Rebecca said.Her friend Eva St. Clair believed she should, and their business was born. The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market. So they decided to expand(扩展）their business online. Their products sold very well there, too.“They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough. We decided it was time to think about a factory,” Rebecca said.So they started to raise money from people over the Internet. The women raised more than $215,000 within days, far more than the $35,000 they expected.“Our biggest challenge (挑战) is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,” Rebecca said.The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.21.Bellas clothing is special because it has pictures of _.A. flowers B. horsesC. cars D. butterflies22.Princess Awesome was started _.A. by Cathy and Rebecca B. because of six-year-old BellaC. with the help of a girls store D. to make unusual clothing for girls23.The dresses made by Rebecca and her friend _.A. sold better online than at the market B. helped them get a job in a factoryC. were popular among girls D. were sold expensively24.What is the most difficult thing Rebecca and her friend will face?A.

But travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy(共鸣) and international understanding, so for those longing to escape the crowds this summer, encounter new worlds and return with a tale, herere a few little-known travel destinations I recommend.1.Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands.This coral island in the Pacific Ocean, site of nuclear weapons tests decades ago, is now brilliantly beautiful and the deserted white-sand beaches are lined with coconut palms and scattered with seashells. The island is a reminder of the redemptive(救赎的) power of time and nature.2.Potosi, Bolivia.No city in Latin America is more beautiful than Potosi, Bolivia, where Europeans discovered a huge silver mountain centuries ago. Tourists can descend(下降) the silver mines to experience extremely hot and dusty tunnels, talk to the miners, get a glimpse of life image for Bolivians there and have new empathy for the miners.3.Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.Maybe our family start at Victoria Falls, which wets you with spray, making Niagara Falls a backyard stream. Then we rent a car and make our way to Hwange National Park, empty of people but crowded with various animals. Zimbabwe has fewer tourists than South Africa, and theres less crime as well.4.Amritsar, India.The Golden Temple, Sikhisms holiest shrine(神殿), is a delightful place to contemplate the draw of faith. A four-century-old temple set in a lake attracts Sikhs(锡克教徒) worldwide. Walking the circuit of the lake, with your head covered, and putting up in temple buildings can be a full experience.25.If you want to experience the hardship of the miners, you should choose to visit .A.
