As China's economic power grows, its culture also develops. Away from the high street and Western luxury brands (奢侈品牌), there is a growing number of brands in China. Chinese designers are bringing their brands to the world, showing China's soft power.

Wang Peiyi is an independent Chinese fashion designer. He showed his works at Milan Fashion Week this year. He is the first mainland designer to hold a show at the event. The collection, influenced (影响) by the northern lights, was an important success.

Meanwhile, Italian V ogue (时尚) has a photo spread of Wang's collection on its official website. His work has been seen like film stars Gong Li and Fan Bingbing. He has been a model for many other young designers in China.

We have about 100,000 hairs on our heads. Each hair has three layers. The outside layer is to protect the two inside layers.

Bright hair is a sign of health because the outside layer lies flat and looks shiny. When the scales (鳞片) of the outside layer lie flat, the inside layers are well protected from heat, sun, and all the other things from our environment.

When hair is damaged, the scales may not connect well and hair can become dry. Because the scales on dry hair don't protect the two inside layers so well, hair can break and doesn't look bright.

The type of hair a person has - whether it's straight or curly - can also influence how bright it is. Sebum (皮脂) is the natural oil on the hair. It covers straight hair better than curly hair. This is why straight hair can appear brighter.

Depending how long a person's hair is or how fast it grows, the end of each hair can be a couple of years old. So the hair could have lived a few summers of hot sun and salt water and winters of cold and dry air. How well you care for your hair plays a role in how healthy it looks.

“Dad! Dad! What's that in the lake?” shouted Jim Ayton surprisingly. It was a summer evening in 1963. Jim was working on his father's farm by Loch Ness, a lake in Scotland, when he looked up to see a strange creature moving slowly down the lake. It was huge! Jim had never seen anything like it before.

Two men nearby heard Jim's shout and rushed to join him and his father. They were all excited and wanted to take a closer look. They ran to the lake, climbed into a boat and headed straight towards the creature.

The creature's head looked a bit like a horse’s head, only bigger. Its neck was nearly 2 metres, as tall as a fully grown man. Its body was as long as a bus. It had four flippers (鳍足) and a long, powerful tail. Could it be the Loch Ness monster that people had talked about for years?

Suddenly, the creature rose out of the water. Then it dived into water again. A huge wave hit the small boat. It rocked and turned around. Had the creature seen the men? Was it coming over?

A few seconds later, the creature slowly went away. The monster seemed more scared than angry! Then it was gone. The men searched and searched for it but they never saw it again.

Lots of kids want to change their hair. Often, girls are most concerned, but boys may be interested in how their hair looks, too.

Maybe it used to be lighter and now it's darker. Or maybe it's more oily than it used to be and now you need to wash it more. It's also normal, as you're getting older, to notice your appearance more. You might suddenly decide you want a hairstyle like other kids at school have.

But some styles and looks need chemical treatments (处理) and long hours in the chair at the hair salon. Some people make their hair a different color, get a braid, or make their hair straight when it's curly.
