Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.

Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生產(chǎn)) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it”. The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1.It is clear from the text that the driving force (動(dòng)力) behind green products is____.

A. public caring for the environment                   B. rapid development of companies

C. new ways of doing business                          D. rapid growth of supermarkets

2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to_________.

A. the selling point                              B. the company’s product

C. a great demand for healthful goods              D. the manufacturing of green products

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Business and people                            B. Shopping Habits Are Changing

C. Business Goes Green                                   D. Supermarkets and Green Products

     I' m glad to learn about that you and your family are coming to

Besides, there are many places for entertainment which you can      
enjoy yourselves in your spare time. As for employ, though         
the job opportunities are not so well in City A, yet I don't think
