2024年中考一轮复习英语热点话题梳理题型专练(通用版) 05.盲盒引发的思考 一、阅读理解 1 Blind Box Pets Craze(盲盒宠物潮) Blind box toys have become very popular recently in China. For many young people, they don’t know what is inside the box until they open it. This adds more surprise and fun to their buying experience. More and more companies start selling their goods(商品) in blind boxes. On May 3, 160 little dogs and cats were found inside a van(厢式货车) at a delivery station(快递站点) in Chengdu. Like other goods, they were packed in boxes to be sent to different places through the post. According to the Chengdu Aizhijia Animal Rescue Center, when volunteers found those animals, four of them were dead and many were sick. All of them were under three months old.

As a rule set by those pet shops, buyers cannot return whatever they get because that is how blind boxes work. So if the buyer gets a dead cat in the post, that’s bad luck! The delivery company, ZTO(中通快递), has said sorry on Weibo for collecting live animals from sellers for delivery, yet public anger is not cooling down.
