内容正文:
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I didn’t see the thin plastic tape running across the bread bag when I put the bread in my shopping cart or when I checked out. It wasn’t until I unpacked the bread at home that I realized that I’d broken the rules again.
That stupid plastic tape joined the long list of mistakes I made in just one week of trying to eat plastic-free. Last month, I challenged myself to purchase a week’s worth of food without bringing home any plastic. That meant no yogurt containers or plastic packages.
I chose a budget of $115 (roughly half-way between the average weekly grocery bill for a family of two in Massachusetts). On Saturday afternoon, I pulled into the parking lot of a well-known zero-waste shopping center.
I started in the produce section, where I typically got a plastic bag of organic baby carrots. This time, I could not go there because every vegetable in the organic section was packed in plastic containers. But I found some beautiful carrots among the non-organic produce. Then I saw the plastic price labels hanging off their rubber bands. I rolled my cart past the green beans and grapes, all inside the plastic. I weighed loose apples, onions and sweet potatoes. My anxiety kicked in — a feeling that I wouldn’t have enough. So, I bought a head of cabbage.
I tapped prices into the calculator on my phone. Leaving the produce section, I was in good shape, at $32. It was time to search for protein.
I headed to the meat counter. Again, everything was prepackaged in plastic. But the man behind the glass kindly agreed to put some chicken and meat, separately, in paper bags. Together they were $21.
Tofu, cheese, yogurt and pretty much everything in the dairy section were prepackaged in plastic. Even the bottled milk had a plastic cap. But there were lots of eggs in those paper bags.

段落构思
第一段:At checkout, I still had 62 left but I could not find anything else without plastic.
→①narrator看着购物车,看着剩余预算,内心满是挫败→②她结账时,收银员扫过商品,她默默算着未花的钱→③她拿起那袋破了塑料胶带的面包,苦笑自己连开始都没做好;
英文:At checkout,I still had62 left but I could not find anything else without plastic. My fingers tapped the phone, staring at the $62 on the calculator—half the budget unused, but no plastic-free snacks or grains in sight. The cashier scanned the apples and chicken, and I sighed, holding the bread with the broken tape. "Guess even the start is messy," I mumbled, pushing the cart out.
第二段:At the moment, I realized that perhaps I shouldn’t have aimed too high.
→④narrator 放下对 “完全无塑料” 的执念,开始想更实际的办法→⑤她决定从减少塑料开始,而非彻底杜绝→⑥回家整理食材时,虽有塑料痕迹,却为尝试感到踏实;
英文:At the moment, I realized that perhaps I shouldn’t have aimed too high. Instead of chasing "perfect zero plastic", maybe I could start with "less plastic". I took out the eggs in paper bags and the chicken wrapped in paper—they were better than all plastic. That night, as I stored the food, I smiled: it wasn’t perfect, but it was a start.
