6．
I find it annoying（惱人的）and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings（裝飾性包裝）in this country．
When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack，I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with．
There is hardly anything we buy that doesn't come in at least two wrappings，
and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag．
Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag．If you
have several big bags with small bags in，they will give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-bags in．
A lot of things we buy wouldn't really need any protective wrappings at all．The skin
of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life，but we aren't satisfied with what nature has given it．We wrap them in plastic（塑料） or put them in a net bag，and then in a paper bag．The orange inside the skin，inside the plastic which is in the bag，must wonder where it is．
A box of biscuits often has waxed paper（蠟紙）next to the biscuits．A cardboard box holds the food with a decorative wrapping around it．
A relative（親戚）of ours bought a new leather sofa recently because of the fine leather．She liked it so much that she didn't want to get dirty，so she bought a cloth cover to put it over．
We may never again see the leather she's protecting．
