It’s cool to knit!

True or false? Only old women knit(编织).

Not anymore! Knitting has now become a fashionable hobby with women in their 20s and 30s. Young women can be seen knitting in coffee shops, hairdressers, bookstores, and bus stops, and Hollywood stars like Julia Robers, Cameron Diaz, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow all knit. They are knitting scarves, hats, socks, and sweaters--even wedding dresses!

Knitting is being called the “new yoga”. It is very relaxing and is the perfect hobby for our busy, stressful, 21st-century lives. It slows down your heart and lowers your blood pressure(血压). Lissy Blomster, a 25-year-old buyer from New York, says, “I come home from work mad and stressed almost every day. But after 30 to 45 minutes of knitting, I’m totally relaxed.” Jenny Carter, a 32-year-old advertising manager from Seattle, always knits through her lunch break. “It helps me clear my head and start fresh,” she says.

Even some men are taking up knitting. Dave White, a 33-year-old IT manager from San Francisco, started knitting six months ago, after a female(女性) friend introduced him to it. “I like knitting because I can go into my own little world and forget about my problem,” he says. But he has not told any of his male friends that he knits, and he never knits in public. Brian Duffey, however, a 26-year-old student from Chicago, said, “I knit anywhere, everywhere. I have never had a negative comment(负面评价). In fact, I find it attracts women!”

36. What has changed about knitting?

A. More men than women are knitting.

C. Old women have stopped knitting.

B. More women than men are knitting.

D. Young women have taken up knitting.

37. Why is knitting called the “new yoga”?

A. Because mainly women do it.

C. Because it relaxes your body and mind.

B. Because it comes from India.

D. Because mainly men do it.

38. When does Lissy Blomster knit?

A. In the office.

C. On her way home from work.

B. In the evenings.

D. In the mornings.

39. Why does Jenny Carter knit at lunchtimes?

A. She has no time to do it afterwards.

C. It is part of her job.

B. She can work better afterwards.

D. She is bored.

40. Why hasn’t Dave White told his male friends about his knitting?

A. He is embarrassed(尴尬).

C. He is not good at knitting.

B. His friends are not interested.

D. They are all good at knitting.
