22、   Clothing rental (租赁) is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying their best to attract shoppers. This past summer alone, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and American Eagle have all announced rental subscription services — a sure sign of changing times.

But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in an article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as green as it seems.

Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest footprint of our fashion habit after producing.

She writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. However, the carbon effect of a pair of jeans bought in a store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study.”

Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry-cleaning is a high-effect and polluting process, which can produce dangerous waste and air pollution if not dealt with correctly.

Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our, desire for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easy to get. There’s something called ‘share-washing’ that leads to more wasteful behaviors mainly because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as “a way to share rides and limit car ownership,” and yet “it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.”

Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the waste after a few wears, but we shouldn’t let the convenience of these services make us satisfied. There’s an even better step—and that’s wearing what is already in the closet (衣柜).

【1】How much carbon will be produced when an item is normally ordered online and then returned?

A.10 kilograms. B.20 kilograms.

C.40 kilograms. D.50 kilograms.

【2】What does Elizabeth Cline think of clothing rental?

A.It is considered fashioned.

B.It is popular to young people.

C.It can reduce transport burden.

D.It can leave large carbon footprint.

【3】The example of Uber is used to show the rental services ________.

A.cause more wasteful behaviors

B.satisfy our desire for fashion

C.help protect the environment

D.replace the public transport

【4】What does the author actually want to express in the last paragraph?

A.The request for throwing cheap clothes.

B.The advice on wearing what we own.

C.The disadvantage of clothing rental.

D.The call for renting clothes.

23、Apps that could save your life

What3words

This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death. What3words divides the world into 3×3 metre squares, giving each one a unique combination of three words. This allows emergency services-or anyone else you give the location to—to reach you. It is used by the vast majority of emergency services in the UK, not to mention other control centres around the world, and has been credited with saving thousands of lives.

WhatsApp

Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but did you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your location in case you' re in danger? You simply press the+key in a chat, select "Location" and then press "Share Live Location", which enable any participants in the chat to see your location for the period of time you choose.

Skin Vision

You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, either on an ad hospital out-call or subscription basis, but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed during lockdown it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any suspicious spot or mole with your phone and you'll then receive a risk indication from SkinVision's clinically validated (经过验证的)technology within 30 seconds. This might include a recommendation to see a doctor. But don't rely on an app to reassure you—if you're worried about a skin blemish, go to your GP.

24、   I have beard that it takes many more muscles to frown（皱眉头）than to smile. Is it true，and does that mean that smiling is easier?

Phil Discarson, Preston, England

I read on a website (www.straightdope.com) that the opposite is true. According to someone called Doctor Song, a plastic surgeon, you use 12 main muscles for a genuine smile, but only 11 for a frown. But he says that even though we use more muscles to smile, ifs actually easier because, since we smile more often than we frown, our smiling muscles are in better condition.

Carl Preston, San Francisco, USA

It depends what you mean by smiling. Remember that line from Shakespeare, “a man may smile and smile and be a villain' —I think it^ from his play Hamlet. Anyone can look as if they are smiling by using the zygomaticus major and minor (they pull up the comers of the mouth), the levator labii super ions (which pull up the mouth and the comers of the nose) and the risorius (which pulls the comer of the mouth to one side). But that's not a real smile. A real smile uses the orbicularis oculi, which encircle each eye, and so when you smile like this, these muscles tighten the skin round the eye to give that ‘crinkling’ effect which creates ‘laughter’ lines. That’s a REAL smile!

Sarah Green (Dr), Birmingham, UK

Counting the muscles，it takes to smile and frown isn’t the issue，for me. I am more interested in the fact that you can find examples of the saying that ‘it takes less effort to smile than to frown’ as far back as the 19th century. That’s because it’s a piece of advice, not a scientific fact. ‘Smile, and the world smiles with you? is another saying like that. Others say that if you smile, you will almost always feel happier. So which comes first, the smile or the happiness?

Well I just read some research, which said that when we smile (or frown), our bodies get the message, even if we are only pretending. Apparently, they got some people to pretend to be angry, sad, sick, etc., and use the appropriate facial expressions, and measured what happened to their bodies. And the unbelievable thing was that even though the test subjects knew they were acting, their bodies didn't. Their heart rates increased, their skin temperature got hotter and there were signs of sweating—all physical signals of real anger, etc.

Felicity Poole, Amsterdam, Holland

【1】What can be concluded from the three replies to Phil Discarson’s question?

A.It is self-evident that frowning needs more muscles than smiling.

B.More research has been carried out about smiling than frowning.

C.There is no agreement as to whether frowning or smiling is easier.

D.Adequate evidence has been found that smiling is better than frowning.

【2】According to Sarah Green, a real smile uses muscles that will have effect on______________.

A.the comers of the mouth B.the comers of the nose

C.the eyes D.the lines on the cheeks

【3】According to Felicity Poole, which of the following statements is true?

A.Forced smiles cause harm to our bodies.

B.Our bodies will mistake a false smile to be a real one.

C.Pretending to smile will serve the opposite purpose.

D.Smiles usually come later than happiness.

25、Many years ago, when I was a little child, my parents always moved from one place to another. Before I could even get _______ with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very _______ because of this.

But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair _______ me. Her best characteristics are her openness and _______. She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. Without _______, I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a _______ girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone _______ to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt _______ and helpless and I was afraid that I would _______ her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so ________ to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great ________ she was to me at that time.

However, it turned out that my ________ were well-founded. I felt that the ________ between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.

I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I ________ her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her ________ with the boy, but I got no more message from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not ________. I had almost given up hope ________ she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked ________ but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said, “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ________ the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.

Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t ________ you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.
