• 2．For those of us who attempt to keep up with the fashion world to ensure our cupboard stays fresh，the real skeletons in our cupboards are those pieces we bought and only wore once or twice - mostly from following each season's new trends.
     With "fast fashion" brands like Forever 21，H&M and Zara' constant output of new trendy clothing at low prices，it's easy to fall into the trap of buying clothes regardless of whether you really need them.But unnecessary purchasing，and the mass production of clothing，isn't just hard on our wallets - it's hard on the environment.
     One of the first steps in getting unwanted clothes out of your cupboard is to sell or consign （寄售） them.But because popular resale shops like Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads don't accept fast fashion brands because they don't profit enough from them，people often turn to throwing their old clothing in the dustbins.
     Many consumers don't realize that clothing and textiles （織物） are recyclable or how to recycle them.According to the Environmental Protection Agency，the United States generated 16.22 million tons of waste textiles in 2017 and recycled only 2.62 million tons.Ten and a half million tons of textiles were finally buried under the ground that year.
     Vetements，a Parisian fashion brand worn by celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna aimed to bring awareness to the problem of fast fashion brands and clothing waste with a recent Window display Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.The window contained a giant pile of clothes.The pile，which grew daily，was made up of old clothes donated by Saks employees and out-of-season items from the store.
     On Aug.10，the clothing from the display was donated to RewearABLE，a Long Island recycling program that collects old clothes and textiles，and prepares them for resale or repurposes the textiles.
  
  （1）What keeps customers coming back to fast fashion chains like Forever 21，H&M and Zara？

  
  A．Good shopping environment.
  B．Discounts and promotional activities.
  C．Warm and thoughtful service of the salesmen.
  D．Low prices and a continuous supply of new looks.
  （2）Where can you find the data that best supports "fast fashion is hard on the environment" ？

  
  A．In Paragraph 2.
  B．In Paragraph 3.
  C．In Paragraph 4.
  D．In paragraph 5.
  （3）What can be learned about the window display created by Vetements？

  
  A．It can help the environment.
  B．It does good to people's health.
  C．It can help change people's lives.
  D．It will take the lead in the latest fashion.
  （4）What is the best title of the text？

  
  A．How to Stop Buying Unnecessary Clothes.
  B．Fast Fashion Brands Spread Around the World.
  C．The Advantages and Disadvantages of Fast Fashion.

• 3．    People are often surprised by my fear of blood and needles.Working in a public health unit，I probably have more daily interaction with syringes （注射器） than the average person.But the truth is，having my blood drawn scares me.
     When I was 9，I had an extremely high temperature.A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my arm causing a sharp pain.I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years.A few months before I turned 30，my doctor ordered a blood test as part of my physical exam.I panicked.Sensing my fear，she gently suggested I see a psychiatrist （精神科醫(yī)生）.

"You're doing well， " Dr.M said.
     I still find it unpleasant getting blood drawn，but thanks to several months of treatment，I'm less scared.I hate to admit it but Dr.M is right—phobias can be treated.Sometimes，we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears.And this can lead to freedom in the end.

     My parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant and carefree for me.I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different.
     It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and became conscious of my social life and self-image that I had carefully developed.My sister，on the other hand，was socially awkward，as she had "Asperger Syndrome".She couldn't look at people in the eye.She would repeat the words she had just said under her breath.She，however，was academically （學(xué)業(yè)） capable，and therefore we attended the same primary school.Despite this，I never admitted in public that she was my sister.However，one incident changed how I viewed her.
     Before graduation，my sister and her classmates had to put on performances，whether in a group or individually.Due to her inability to work with others，my sister was the only one left to perform alone. "I'll sing，" my sister told my parents confidently.Hearing that，I was completely shocked.How could my sister，who terribly feared social activities，sing in front of the school？I knew very well that she would embarrass herself and me as well. "No!" I shouted.My parents shot me a look.That was when I knew my sister was sure to perform and I was going to be part of the audience watching her.
     The day came.I sat in the hall，sweat on my forehead，waiting for the performances to start.The pupils went on and off stage group after group.Finally it was my sister's turn.The curtains parted and there appeared my sister.She blinked her eyes a couple of times before she opened her mouth.It took about a whole minute for her to stammer （結(jié)巴） her name and by that time，murmurs （私語） were heard in the audience.
     "Why is she taking so long？" people around me asked.I felt myself on pins and needles，wishing I were somewhere else.
