Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney.
She is the youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does
the same job as their mother used to do – she works as a photographer. Stella's
brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when
she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes
were modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known
models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news around the
world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent
time working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella
went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house
had given her the job because of her surname and her famous parents but Stella
soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to wear
herself, although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors choose to
wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened
stores around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney
does not use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other
animal-derived fabrics.

spends at home with her children has declined since the early 1900s, as more and
more women enter the workforce, there has been a decrease in the number of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Let's see if you can correctly answer the following question: At what age are
Latter-day Saint youth allowed to date? Of course, you probably immediately said,
"16". OK, then, how about this one: At what age are you allowed to have a
boyfriend or girlfriend? You may be thinking, "Um, 16. Didn't I just answer that?"
Well, if that was your answer, then, even though you aced the first question, you
missed the second one. Just because you can date when you turn 16 doesn't mean
you should immediately start looking for a steady boyfriend or girlfriend.
For decades, prophets have preached that youth who are in no position to marry
should not pair off exclusively. For instance, President Hinckley (1910-2008) said,
"When you are young, do not get involved in steady dating. When you reach an
age where you think of marriage, then is the time to become so involved. But you
boys who are in high school don't need this, and neither do the girls". So what does
this counsel really mean, and what are the reasons for it?
To begin with, there are two different types of dating: casual dating and steady (or
serious) dating. The distinction between the two has to do with exclusivity. With
casual dating, there is no exclusivity. The two people aren't "a couple" or "an
item", and they don't refer to each other as a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". They don't
pair off. People who are casually dating are simply friends. This is the kind of
dating the Church encourages you to do after you turn 16. You should put aside a
need to find a "one and only". If you're dating casually, you don't expect a
relationship to become a romance. You have fun; you do a variety of things with a
variety of people. On the other hand, steady dating means the couple is exclusive
with one another. They expect each other not to date anyone else or to be
emotionally or physically close with other people. Couples who date seriously
consider the future, because there is a real possibility they could stay together. This
is the kind of dating the Church encourages young adults (generally, people in their
20s) to progress toward because that's the age when they should be thinking of
marrying.

You should avoid becoming exclusive as teenagers because an exclusive

relationship requires a high level of commitment from both partners, and you're not
in a position to make that kind of commitment as teens – neither emotionally,
physically, nor in terms of your future plans. As President Boyd K. Packer,
President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, has said to the youth, "Avoid
steady dating. Steady dating is courtship, and surely the beginning of courtship
ought to be delayed until you have emerged from your teens".

31. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ____.
