It means that people no longer blindly buy very expensive things, but pay more attention to the cost performance(性价比). As a result, they are more willing to buy what they really need and compare the prices before buying them. Reverse Consumption actually encourages people not to waste. Compared with traditional consumption habits, it refuses to keep buying new goods, and pays more attention to the quality of them. This idea has already become popular among the young.  ★   News such as “young people are not crazy about changing their mobile phones any more”,“challenging 5-day within 27 yuan” and others have been on the front pages of newspapers. Why are young people changing their ideas and spending less on buying? One of the reasons is that people have a different understanding of quality life. They come to realize that money and goods do not bring true happiness. They start to care more about personal growth, spirit and the building of social relationships. As a result, they begin to focus more on their inner needs, which helps to achieve a more meaningful life. Young people are also caring more about the environment. Blind consumption may cause not only waste but also environmental pollution. So, they begin to play a part in protecting the environment through this new way of consumption. Instead of buying new things from traditional stores, many young people are turning to second-hand markets to find goods that can be reused or recycled. Reverse Consumption influences(影响) the market and sellers in turn. The companies have to improve the quality of their goods and offer better services as well. One thing is for sure: Goods with higher quality and lower prices win. 31.Which of the following is Reverse Consumption? A. Buying shoes more than you need. B. Buying bags you really need. C. Changing smart phones often. D. Choosing cheap bags only. 32.Which of the following can be put in“  ★  ” ? A. And it has made a difference to their buying decisions. B. Because they can't afford new goods. C. So they are on the way of blind consumption. D. Then they stop to live a hard life. 33.What leads to Reverse Consumption? A. Being tired of shopping. B. Being afraid to try new things. C. Believing in expensive things. D. Seeing the inner needs. 34.To win young people's hearts, a company should ____. A. take environmental problems less seriously B. sell environmentally friendly goods C. offer beautiful goods in poor quality D. put more ads on TV 35.What's the writer's attitude towards Reverse Consumption? A. He can't understand it. B. He says yes to it. C. He is unsure about it. D. He is against it. 四、阅读七选五 Studies show that people now have more free time than ever before. Then why doesn't it feel that way? These days, many of us spend lots of free time playing with our phones.    （1）    That's the reason why we don't feel fully relaxed. To help you feel relaxed and energetic, it is important to use your free time wisely. Here is how to do it. Set your goals. Instead of aimlessly drifting(漫无目的地度过)through your free time, think about what you truly want to achieve.    （2）   Don't worry about what you should do. Just think about what will bring you satisfaction. Get creative. When we watch TV or read, we are only taking things in. Try to be a producer for a change. Build a model ship, paint a landscape, or write a blog about your travels. You will use different parts of your brain and feel more energetic as a result.    （3）    Everyone has different interests, so don't expect your friends to be into the same things as you. You can join a club and get to know people with the same interests as you. Guard your time.    （4）    Don't check your mobile phone for messages and turn it off. Otherwise(否则), the line between your free time and everyday life will be unclear, and you won't feel relaxed. Once you're fully relaxed, you can think about what you'd like to improve in your life. Want to be stronger? Learn a skill? There are many groups and clubs that you can join to help you start a new life.    （5）    By making the most of your free time, you can lead a more balanced, fulfilling, and enjoyable life. A. Meet like-minded people. B. So just get out there and enjoy yourself! C. Don't let anything else take up your free time. D. People aren't allowed to spend a lot of time relaxing. E. Pictures and information keep getting into our minds. F. Reading is a good way to stay in touch with the world. G.
