16、borhood. I knew that if I were hired there, I would learn how to use a cash register, prepare sandwiches, and take cake orders. I imagined that my biggest struggle would be serving demanding New Yorkers, but I never thought that the act of tying a box would become both my biggest challenge and great
17、est teacher. On my first day of work in late August, one of the employees quickly explained the process. It seemed simple: wrap the string (绳子) around your hand, then wrap it three times around the box both ways, and fasten it. I repeated the message in my head, “Three times, turn it. Three times, t
18、ie it.” until it became my prayer. After observing several employees, it was clear that anyone tying the box could complete it in a matter of seconds. For weeks, I failed endllessly, only to watch the strong and small pieces of my pride unravel (散开) each time I tried. As I rushed to push half-tied c
19、ake boxes into plastic bags with embarrassment, I could not help but wonder what was wrong with me. As the weeks progressed, my skills slowly began to improve.

20、anted, but comments like “Oh, you must be new” from impatient customers made me angry and I determined to try even harder. Slowly I began to realize that I should not be ashamed if it takes me longer to learn. I kept on, and I continued to tie boxes every weekend at work. Even though I sometimes fel

You dont really need to buy anything, but everything is so cheap and stylish. Before you know it, you leave th
25、e store with bags and bags of new clothes. On the surface, this doesnt seem so bad. However, there are a lot of hidden costs behind the cheap price put forward by fast fashion brands. To put it simply, the fashion industry is terrible for the planet. Not only does it use up a lot of resources, but i
26、t also heavily pollutes the environment with chemicals, microplastics and unwanted waste. Fashion is one of the least sustainable(可持续发展的) industries on the planet, commented Michael Stanley-Jones, a program management officer with the United Nations Environment Program. “Weve all become our own wast
27、e managers, hoarding fashion waste in our closets,” he noted. It doesnt just take up space in our closets, though. It also ends up in wasteyard, too. In fact, three out of every five garments end up either being burned or sent to wasteyards. But, thankfully, the fashion trend(趋势) tides are changing.
28、 “People are increasingly examining their own consumption(消费) and what changes they can make to become sustainable,” Jane Fellner, founder and CEO of sustainable fashion retailer Loopster, old the Guardian. In particular, with its typically lower prices and rare fashion finds, shopping secondhand ha
29、s become an increasingly popular and eco-friendly choice. According to online reseller ThredUp, the secondhand market is predicted to reach $80 billion about 518 billion yuan by 2029. And, although fast fashion will continue to grow 20 percent over the next 10 years, secondhand fashion is expected t

33、. D 11. CDIf youre one of those people who have trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime. To understand why, you first need to understand the relationship between core body temperature a
34、nd sleep. During daylight hours, the human body keeps at an average temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. But at night, your core body temperature reduces as much as 1.2 degrees Celsius over the course of six or seven hours of sleep. It turns out that this gradual decrease in core body temperature is a
35、 key part of the complex neurobiological dance (神经生物学行为) of falling asleep and staying asleep. And the faster you can lower the core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep. One of the ways your body regulates (调节) its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in your skin. If the brain de
36、cides the body is too hot, it will widen blood vessels, guiding warmer blood from the bodys core to the rest of the body to cool it down. If the body is too cold, the brain signals the opposite reaction, limiting the flow of blood to the surface. According to researchers, warming the feet before goi
37、ng to sleep promotes vasodilation (血管舒张) by using a warm foot bath or wearing socks, which in turn lowers the bodys core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet. Scientists think socked feet may have a neurological effect as well. Inside the PO/AH of the brain is a type of a warm
38、-sensitive neuron (热敏神经元), helping us fall asleep and stay asleep. And if thats the case, warming up the feet before bedtime gives warm-sensitive neurons an extra power. In a study, Korean researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleeping socks” not only quickened sleep, but lengthened over
39、all sleep time by an average of 30 minutes and cut nighttime waking period in half.12. Whats the relationship between core body temperature and sleep?A. Once you control your core body temperature, youll fall asleep quickly.B. The faster your core body temperature drops, the faster youll fall asleep
40、.C. The core body temperature doesnt have anything to do with sleep.D. The decrease of the core body temperature stops fast sleep.13. Which of the following is the benefit of sleeping with a pair of socks?A. Lowering the bodys temperature greatly.B. Reducing overall sleep time.C. Increasing nighttim
41、e waking period.D. Speeding up your sleep.14. What can you infer from the passage?A Peoples body temperature goes up at night.B. It must be uncomfortable to wear socks in bed.C. A warm foot bath might be helpful before sleeping.D. Warm-sensitive neurons have no effect on sleep.15. How is the passage
42、 mainly developed?A. By listing numbers.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparison.D. By giving explanations.【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15.
