26、My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”

27、There you are in your favorite clothing store. You don’t really need to buy anything, but everything is so cheap and stylish! Before you know it, you leave the store with bags and bags of new clothes.
On the surface, this doesn’t seem so bad. However, there are a lot of hidden costs behind the cheap price tags put forward by fast fashion brands.
To put it plainly, the fashion industry is terrible for the planet. Not only does it use up a lot of resources, but it 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. “We’ve all become our own waste managers, hoarding fashion waste in our closets,” he noted. It doesn’t just take up space in our closets, though. It also ends up in landfills, too. In fact, three out of every five garments end up either being incinerated (焚毁) or sent to landfills.
But, thankfully, the fashion trend tides are changing.
People are increasingly examining their own consumption and what changes they can make to become sustainable, Jane Fellner, founder and CEO of sustainable fashion retailer Loopster, told the Guardian. In particular, with its typically lower prices and rare fashion finds, shopping secondhand has become an increasingly popular and eco-friendly option.
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 to grow an unbelievable 185 percent in that same amount of time.
Fellner continued: “Secondhand has become more socially acceptable and, for some, cool. Thrifting (节约) is now massive on TikTok.”
The only true sustainable way to shop is to not shop at all, Rachel Kibbe, a brand consultant for ensuring sustainability in fashion, told Insider. Unless you’re buying clothes that already exist.
【1】What does the underlined word “hoarding” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Storing.
B．Avoiding.
C．Sorting.
D．Recycling.
【2】What does Jane Fellner think of secondhand fashion?
A．It is gaining popularity.
B．It is huge among young people.
C．It makes people attractive.
D．It has defeated fast fashion.
【3】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A．To introduce young consumers’ habits.
B．To inform readers of what is sustainable.
C．To predict the new fashion trend in 2021.
D．To show changes in clothing consumption.

29、Credit scores have the power to impact your financial well-being. They can be used to determine which car you drive, which home you buy and even whether or not you get offered the job of your dreams. Here are 5 things you need to know about your credit score.
You have to use credit to have a good score.
Some people avoid using credit and assume they have a good score if there is no negative activity on their credit report. However, scores for those with little or no credit history tend to be lower, says Mike Sullivan, a personal finance consultant.
You should check your score regularly.
Since there is no danger in reducing your credit score by checking it, Bellhorn recommends reviewing it weekly. A dip in a credit score could alert consumers to potential fraud (欺诈) or credit report errors.
Credit applications can drop a score.
There are several factors that contribute to a credit score, including the number of inquiries made for new accounts. Filing too many credit applications can raise red flags for lenders. Bellhorn says that’s something to remember before applying for a store credit card simply to get a discount at checkout.
The principles for calculating scores are similar.
In general, the scores range from 300 to 850 with higher scores indicating a better credit history. A person’s payment history is usually weighed most heavily, but other factors include debt balances, the percentage of credit lines (信贷额度) used and the age of credit accounts. The length of your credit history can make it hard for young adults to have high credit scores.
It’s not hard to build good credit.
Sullivan says it isn’t difficult to increase credit scores. “If you want to have a high credit score, pay all your debts on time,” he says. He cautions(警告) against using credit repair companies that may use dishonest or illegal practices or charge for services you could do yourself. If there is one thing everyone must know about credit scores, it’s that there is no substitute for smart money management that uses debt wisely and pays off balances on time.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Credit scores can decide what job you will do in the future.
B．Young people are likely to have higher credit scores than old people.
C．If you always pay off your debts on time, your credit scores will increase.
D．Applying for credit cards can save money without affecting credit scores.
【2】According to the passage, it is advisable to _________.
A．examine your credit score once a week
B．calculate your credit scores frequently
C．never use credit to produce a positive report
D．apply for as many credit accounts as you can
【3】What’s Sullivan’s attitude about using credit repair companies to build good credit?
A．Uninterested.
B．Neutral.
C．Supportive.
D．Disapproving.
