26、World Environment Day: Eco-friendly fashion tips
June 5 will see another World Environment Day, 【1】 rather than something only remembered as a slogan (口号). Saving water, using public transportation and avoiding throw-away plastic products can all help benefit our future generations in the long run.
Your wardrobe could also be more environmentally friendly too, by following these tips:
Buy less
Many people take shopping, or buying things that are not necessary, as a way to reduce pressure. 【2】 Find a better and healthier way to reduce pressure, as unnecessary shopping could become another coming of pressure to both your money and the environment.
Less denim (牛仔布) and fur
If you still can’t change old shopping habits, try to buy less denim and fur products. Making just one pair of denim pants can seriously pollute the water. 【3】
Choose natural and green material
Natural material, such as cotton, is good for not only the environment, but also the mind and body. The feeling of wearing a polyester (涤纶) shirt and an cotton shirt is totally different, especially in the hot summer.
Use natural cleanser (洁肤液)
Washing liquid and powder will pollute the water and harm your clothes. Try a natural cleanser, it can clean your clothes well without doing any harm to either the environment or your skin.
【4】 as dry cleaning will cause a lot of damage to the environment.
【5】
Secondhand clothes can be a smarter choice, especially for those you only wear on special occasions. And there are services for renting clothes, which can also help you save money and protect the environment.

27、Every week, two converted blue buses packed with children’s books carefully drive along the streets of Kabul, avoiding areas where deadly explosions are common. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, delivering a wealth of reading material directly to youngsters who have limited access to books.
“A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Freshta Karim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate who was inspired to start Charmaghz, a non-profit organization, in her home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand what we could do to promote critical thinking in our country.”
While for many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, in some cities public transport is being used as means of getting books to communities that need them most. Afghanistan, for example, has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, with only three in 10 adults able to read, according to UNESCO. The majority of public schools in Kabul do not have libraries and the city’s libraries do not offer many children’s books. For Karim, buses were a cost-effective, efficient way to get books to children.
Charmarghz rents them from a state-owned bus company. “We go to nearby schools,” she says. “We try to stop inside communities rather than on the main streets where explosions often happen.”
The organization is funded by donations from local business and communities, and also rents a third bus that acts as a mobile cinema. Over 600 children visit the buses each day to read, socialise and play games. “They are often very excited,” she says. “Our biggest challenge is that so many children want to come inside the bus, but we can’t have all of them in one day.”
【1】Why does Freshta Karim set up the organization?
A．To raise money for the poor.
B．To recycle abandoned buses.
C．To build libraries for the local schools.
D．To offer the children more reading opportunities.
【2】What is special about Charmarghz?
A．It’s funded by UNESCO.
B．It’s a state-owned organization.
C．It buys buses from a company.
D．It aims to inspire critical thinking.
【3】What is the most pressing problem for Charmarghz?
A．Deadly explosions.
B．Poor public transport system.
C．Shortage of travelling libraries.
D．Lack of support from the government.
【4】Which of the following best describes Freshta Karim?
A．Caring and courageous.
B．Humorous and ambitious.
C．Demanding and enthusiastic.
D．Honest and hardworking.
28、 Clowns (丑角) have been around for a long time. They not only make us laugh at the circus (马戏团) but they used to make the king and his followers laugh in court. The earliest of these fun-makers are called “fools”. In Greek and Roman times these fools dressed up like clowns do today with painted faces and funny costumes (戏服). They danced around the stage and did things to make people laugh as clowns do in circuses today. By medieval times (中世纪) every court had its fools. Fools wore bright colours and had bells (大肚子) on their shoes and their hats.
They were not really meant to be foolish and often they would say wise and sensible things to the king which nobody else was brave enough to say. The king never got cross with the fool as this was his job. He was meant to be both wise and foolish and try to make the situation in court less serious.
Of course people wanted to have their own kind of fool and shows developed in the 1500s in which fools (or Zanies) performed to make the crowd laugh. This kind of entertainment became so popular that it started a special kind of drama in Italy called Commedia dell´arte, which gradually turned into our comedy programmes today. When you watch the antics (滑稽剧) of Charlie Chaplin or Rowan Atkinson, you are watching a kind of comedy that is directly originated from the fools of ancient Rome and Greece.

29、 Party favors are small gifts given to guests who attend an event such as a baby shower, wedding or birthday party.【1】Traditionally, a party favor is given as a way of thanking guests for their gifts and for their presence at the event.
