9.What is ecofashion?Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment,the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the fashionable terms-‘ecological'and‘ethical'.Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (織物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them;ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion?A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory.Firstly,the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily.Cottonplanting uses pesticides;sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming;syntheticsmaking (人造纖維生產(chǎn)) brings about waste which does harm to our environment.Secondly,every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment.They all use a great deal of energy,and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings.In addition to this,there is a lot of waste produced in the process,especially in the form of polluted water.Thirdly,growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects.We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment,and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then,how to solve the problems?Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials,designing for minimum waste,choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity.The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion.To a large degree,it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future.There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint,from switching to green energy and reducing energy use,through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers,to recycle and minimize waste.On the other hand,as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen.Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate.They relate directly to our personal health.In fact,choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health,though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.

1.The new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito Elementary School,in San Rafael,California.The last three of the school's 22 classrooms switched from seated desks to standing desks."It's now the first all-standing school,"Juliet Starrett told TFK.She started the group Stand Up Kids.Her goal is to have every U.S.public school kid using a standing desk within the next10years.
Starrett's daughters-Georgia,10,and Caroline,7-attend Vallecito.They are thrilled with their desks."You feel happier,you're less tired,and you're more active,"Georgia says.
Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars.The bars let kids move in a way that doesn't disturb the class.Wheels allow the desks to be moved easily.The desks also adjust to different heights.Kids take breaks by sitting on the floor or on stools.
There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe to use.According to Mark Benden,director of the Texas A&M Center,standing workers are more focused and healthier.He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories.In December,researchers in New Zealand,Australia,and the United Kingdom released similar findings.But not everyone is convinced standing is better than sitting.Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful.And standing desks are more expensive.
Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height."Our message should not be‘Sit less,stand more,'"he says,"but‘Sit less,move more.'"

51.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?C
A.Why standing desks are used.
B.Where standing desks are used.
C.How standing desks are used.
D.Who uses standing desks.
52.Mark Benden's research shows that kids using standing desksB.
A.feel more tired
B.a(chǎn)re more focused
C.get better scores
D.tend to eat more
53.Some parents and teachers worry that using standing desks mayC.
A.disturb the kids in class
B.leave the classroom noisy
C.harm the students'health
D.increase the teachers'workload.

19.Although Paris is often considered the city of romance,close to a million adults who call it home are single.Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people.The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as"supermarket dating."At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet,singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list.They can look for someone who has blue eyes,brown hair,and is 1.8 meters tall,or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location,single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m.When they walk through the door,they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love.They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly,and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles.
With purple baskets in hand,shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries.When they are ready to pay,they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating.They know that it is easy to embellish (美化) one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the Internet.The supermarket,on the other hand,is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match.In addition,what one finds in another's grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person's character or intentions.Buying pet food can be a man's way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side.Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living.These days it's possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.

28.What do many single people in Pairs complain about?A
A.The difficulty in meeting people.
B.The idea of supermarket dating.

30.How do love shoppers meet one another?B
A.They schedule their meeting in advance.
B.They go through a special checkout.
C.They pick out their groceries with great care.
D.They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.

A.The supermarket dating is more convenient.
B.The supermarket dating is more casual.
