16.Many little girls like flowers,watching butterflies and riding small horses.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 haven't found this type of dress in the store,"Cathy,Bella's mother,says.
The car dress is from a new girl's clothing line called Princess Awesome.Rebecca Melsky set up the business.She says its products 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 they'd 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 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 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.

A.by Cathy and Rebecca

6.While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged,loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face.Of all the reasons (32)that explain their loneliness,a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one.This phenomenon is commonly known as"Empty Nest Syndrome"(空巢綜合癥).
In order to seek (33)better(good) chances outside their countries,many young people have gone abroad,(34)leaving(leave) their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home.Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights,taking care of themselves,in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them.The fact (35)that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty (36)as they would have if they had not left their countries.Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match (37)what they actually do.This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing timely response (38)for the needs of their aged parents.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents (39)has been described (describe) as"distant parent phenomenon",(40)which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries.Our society has not yet been well prepared for"Empty Nest Syndrome".
The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries.Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do.
