主题六　 自然与环境 一、阅读理解。 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。 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 in blind boxes. On May 3rd, 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. In fact, the sale of blind box pets is nothing new. On Taobao and Pinduoduo, some live animals are being sold for prices as low as 9.9 yuan. Lots of animals on sale die on their way to their buyers. 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. People are calling for an end to the crazy sale of blind box pets. State media(媒体) also asks buyers and sellers of such blind boxes to have “more kind- ness and more respect for life” . ( 　 　 )1.
