Shopping at Second-hand Clothing Stores
When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something he did-- "like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops.<br>
"Even new clothes are fairly disposable (可丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of years,"Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."<br>
Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people, like him,shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.<br>
Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军 ) thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.<br>
"When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said. "Also, why pay 30 dollars fora new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"<br>
Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US-- "some as big as department stores." All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), and when they have a surplus (盈余), they&39;ll have "stuff a bag"specials where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.<br>
Julia Slocum,22, points cut, however, that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the us is the result of American wastefulness.<br>
"I&39;d say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization, the Center for a New American Dream.<br>
"Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场 ) ; they give clothing a second life, provide cheaper clothing for those who can&39;t afford new ones and generate (生成) income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed (摆脱) some of the guilt for their level of consumption."
Which statement about Barth is NOT true? 查看材料
A.He is 33 years old now
B.He works at a Goodwill thrift shop
C.He was a college student many years ago
D.He works at a Salvation Army thrift shop

As she moved from one friend's house to another, Carr began working toward a high-school- equivalence diploma, listening to self-help tapes and making cheesecakes. After developing some new methods which she thought were pretty good, she offered her cakes to a restaurant. They sold out in a matter of hours.
The following year, she met a man at a church service and before long, they married. Carr began selling the cheesecakes out of their home. Later she opened a cheesecake company. As business became better and better, Carr didn't forget where she came from.
All the women she hires are mothers or high-school dropouts (退学者)--workers most other employers wouldn't like to hire. Her dozen workers make 100 to 150 cakes a week and Cart owes her success to her employees. She says, "We're going to have a learning center and a day-care center in the company. Part of the workday will be spent studying for high-school-equivalence diplomas."
Recently, a 33-year-old woman with three children to raise was referred to Cart. She hired her at once. "It has been a real blessing," the woman said.

A.was once a school dropout herself
B.had few friends to turn to for help

“Are you crazy?” people around him shouted as Alex Bien, a 33-year-old immigrant(移民), ran toward three cars in a chain accident along the highway in Miami, which were burning down. Alex didn’t think twice.
The article “Against the Flames” reported how he put out the fire on a car and pulled a couple out of another. But when here turned to his own car, steam was coming out from it. It was damaged beyond repair.
Back in his tiny flat, alone and with little money, Alex didn’t know what to do. He was already working, going to college and supporting his wife, Aline, and children back in Haiti. He worried about his wife’s health; doctors thought she had cancer(癌症). Every cent was important to him. And now this.
With in weeks of reading the article, readers sent hundreds of letters offering jobs, money and best wishes. One delivered a car-used, but in fine condition. Others helped Aline come to Miami, where a medical team found out it was not cancer.
Readers also wrote to U.S. government officials to support the immigration of Alex’s family to Miami. Consul General Roger Daley even invited Alex to discuss the matter.
