“Fast fashion” means clothes which are inexpensive but look like (26)______

(late) designs from top fashion houses. One reason for the success of the fast

fashion is the rise of the social media. A report found that Millennials (千禧一代)

want to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they post on social media. As a

result, many businesses which offer trendy and low-cost clothes grow quickly.

However, some Millennials are not happy with the rise of fast fashion.

Maxine was tired of always shopping for (27)______ was in style. Instead, she

clothes, (28)______ invites people to bring clothes they no longer want to H&M

stores. Shoppers who donate old clothes can receive (29)______ discount on new

things they buy. After that, H&M does several things with shoppers‟ old clothes.

Some of them are sold again. Some are turned into other useful items. And the

rest (30)______(reduce) to fiber (纤维制品) that can be reused as building

materials.

Here (31)______(come) stylish but sustainable fashion. Are you ready to

move over fast fashion?

(B)

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. (32)

______(Expect) a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the

newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.

“This will be (33)______ a walk in the park,” he‟d told his wife. “I‟ll look after

the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”

Things started well, but just after eight o‟clock, his three little “good

kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and

shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,

Randy began using his spoon on Alex‟s head (34) ______ ______ it were a drum.

Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike chanted “Where‟s my toast,

where‟s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to

wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy‟s underwear on his

head. Randy locked (35) ______ in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again

because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, (36)

______ they were before their very eyes. Someone (37) ______(name) “Not Me”

had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad

knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o‟clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish

in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by

decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared

showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad

realized that the talk show was over and (39)______(read) would be impossible.

work and my wife‟s away. (40)______ I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”

The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

Researchers studying fossils (化石) of the early ancestors of dogs that lived

up to 40 million years ago believe the predators (捕食性动物) evolved as a direct

consequence of climate change. The study claims the (41)______ transformed

man‟s best friend from a creature that behaved more like a cat, into the canine (犬)

we know and love today.

Ancestors of dogs living in North America 40 million years ago were ambush

(伏击式) predators—in a(n) (42)______ way to cats‟. But a million years later,

the thick forest that once covered the continent began to give way to grasslands.

This led to a(n) (43)______ in the body shape and hunting behavior of dogs,
