Shopping at Second-Hand Clothing Stores
When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college,shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something
he did一“like changing the tires on his car."He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of
money by shopping for clothes at
thrift
shops.
" Even new clothes are fairly disposable(可丢掉的)and worn out after a couple of years , " Barth said.
"In thrift shops,you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."
Since then,Barth,who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida,has found that there are
all kinds of reasons for shopping for second一hand clothing.Some people,like him,shop to save money.Some
shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.
Pat Akins , an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA)(救世军)thrift shop, said that, for her,
shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.
"When my daughter was little,we looked at it as recycling,"Akins said."Also,why pay 30 dollars for
a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"
Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US一“some as big as department stores".All of the
clothes are donated(捐赠),and when they have a surplus(盈余),they' ll have "stuff-a-bag" specials,
where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.
Julia Slocum,22,points out,however,that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the
result of American wastefulness.
"I'd say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful,materialistic culture,"said Slocum,who
works for a pro-conservation organization,the Center for a New American Dream."Thrift shops prevent the
waste from going to landfills(垃圾填埋场);they give clothing a second life , provide cheaper clothing for
those who can' t afford new ones and generate(生成)income for charities. They also provide a way for the
wealthy and middle classes to shed(摆脱)some of the guilt for their level of consumption."
选项
Which statement about Barth is NOT true?A:He is 33 years old now.B:He works at a Goodwill thrift shop.C:He works at a Salvation Army thrift shop.D:He was a college student many years ago.
答案
C
解析
由文章第三、四两段的内容可知,Pete Barth在“善心”旧货店(thrift shop)工作,而Pat Akins才是“救世军”旧货店的一名会计,故选C。 由文章第一段第二句“He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops”可知,Pete Barth上大学时发现在二手服装店购买衣服可以给 他省下很多的钱,因此他才去旧货店买衣服,由此可知,他这样做的目的是省钱,故选A。 由文章第四段可知,Pat Akins是“救世军”旧货店的一名会计,故选B。 由文章最后一段的倒数一、二句内容可知,旧货店低价处理衣物可以避免那些衣服被 当作垃圾扔到垃圾填埋场;能让衣服重新被使用;给没钱买新衣服的人提供了选择;给慈善机 构带来了收益;除此之外,还能帮助富裕的中产阶级摆脱奢侈浪费的内疚感。但这并不是说, 这种方式能够阻止有钱人浪费,故选D。 one dollar shop的意思是“廉价商店”;thrift的意思为“节约,节俭”,在第一段中,thrift shops也是指“廉价商店”,故thrift可以用one dollar替换。 第三篇 本篇文章主要通过两个研究说明了熬夜并不能带来好的学习成绩,并对此进行了分析。
