Fast fashion is the mass (大量的) production of clothes at a low cost. They are put in shops and online quickly to create a high need. Companies make billions of clothes every year. This is expected to grow by 60% by 2030. The fast fashion business is having a negative effect on the environment. Many of the clothes end up in the trash and are not recycled. Another effect on the environment is caused by the chemicals used to make clothes. These cause health problems for people working in clothes factories. The way people buying clothes is adding to the reason for clothing waste. Many years ago, people went to stores and tried clothes on. People took more time and thought more carefully before they bought clothes. They also wore them for longer. Today, people order cheap clothes on the Internet and if they don’t like them, they send them back. Some people buy clothes but never even wear them. The German media company Deutsche Welle wrote, “Every year in Europe, four million tons of clothing end up in the trash. Less than 1% of this is recycled.” It seems that the fashion industry is causing a throwaway society. In fact, there are some steps people can take to make the clothes last longer or not end up in the trash. First of all, buy new clothes only as necessary. Secondly, repair broken zippers and missing buttons instead of throwing away the broken clothes. At last, give away what you no longer wear or exchange your clothes with your friends. 26. The underlined word “negative” in this passage means ________. A. great B. bad C. strange D. small 27. According to the passage, ________ is adding to the reason for clothing waste. A. the way factory producing clothes B. the way stores selling clothes C. the way designer making clothes D. the way people buying clothes 28. In Europe, ________ tons of clothes are recycled every year, A. more than forty thousand B. more than four hundred C. less than forty thousand D. less than four hundred 29. Which step can make clothes last longer? A. Buy new clothes as many as possible. B. Throw away broken zippers and broken buttons. C. Give away what you don’t wear any more. D. Make new clothes with your friends together. 30. The best title for this passage can be ________. A. Fast Fashion is Popular Nowadays B. Fast Fashion Changes People’s Life C. Fast Fashion Helps Sell More Clothes D. Fast Fashion is Harming the Environment C 配对阅读。左栏是五位伙伴的旅游需求，右栏是七个旅游方案，请为五位伙伴选择合理的方案，有两项多余。 ___31___ Kitty will have two weeks off and she’d like a tour at a cost of about$2500.

The high voice can help you become more confident. Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. When you are athletic, you’ll be full of confidence. Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day and see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done. Get rid of (消除) fear Fear comes along with failure. But it’s easy to get over if you know that failure is a part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something foolish last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better. Pick up a hobby. If you like singing. Sing as much as you can.

Then I breathed deeply and relaxed myself. You can’t believe how happy I was when I recalled the speech and finished it successfully. My teacher thought highly of my performance and I got much encouragement from my classmates. From then on, I have become more and more confident.
