One reason for the success of fast fashion is the rise of the social media. A report by the investment research firm Bernstein found that Millennials- people born in the 1980s and 90s wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on social media. As a result, many businesses which offer trendy and low-cost clothes are growing.But the situation is changing now. Maxine, a woman in her early thirties, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. "Other people want the same thing." she says.So Maxine and a business partner, Soraya, started a “slow fashion clothing company called Zady. "Slow fashion, means clothes that last a long time. They often feature classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials.The terms ufast fashion" and "slow fashion" arc related to 44fast food ” and "slow bod: fast food is still popular in the U.S., but many restaurants increasingly offer high- quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them. To answer Millcnnials, demand fbr infbnnation about the products they buy, Ms Maxine's company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process in which the clothes are made. Maxine says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they impact the world.The international business H&M is answering Millennials' demands in another way. It has created a recycling program for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesman says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.”4. About Millennials, which of the following statements is not true?A.

What is out of FashionCI've recently published a book of letters from 32 amazing Australian women about their experiences of new motherhood. Perhaps the most common question I've been asked since publication is why more of the mothers didn't ask fbr help. If those early months were so hard and so exhausting as they were described, then why didn't more of these women simply ask for help?Embedded（把牢牢地嵌入）deep in this enquiry is the assumption that if you ask, you shall receive-and that you shall receive without judgment. And if there is any experience of new motherhood in the 21st century it is the inescapability of judgment. By asking for help new mothers open themselves up to a wave of quietand not-so- quietdisapproval of why on earth they need it.The earliest moments of motherhood are synonymous with soc/执ce（等同于牺牲）. A mother sacrifices her body for not nine but almost ten long months, sharing her shell with a new being. A mother sacrifices her control, and often her mental and physical health, during the painful process of childbirth. A mother, in the weeks and months thatfollow, puts the needs of another before her own, sacrificing her sense of self, her ambition and all too often, her happiness.Wc don't normally use the word sacrifice to describe the newborn period. It's supposed to be sweet and milky and warm but a sacrifice is exactly what it is. And when we sacrifice we should be entitled（使享有权利）to mourn-a privilege new mothers arc expressly prevented from.We have reached the point where being a mother who admits she needs help is like saying your child isn't worth the sacrifice. The suffering has become a badge（徽 章）of honor, worn in service to your family.The role of mothering is not an easy one, nor will it ever be. But it could be made more manageable if we were all to offer help or support.8. What is the author's book probably about?A. The troubles of working women. B. The education of newborn babies.C. The lifestyle of Australian women. D. The suffering of some new mothers. 9. According to Paragraph 2, the public seems to believe that.A. it's wrong to judge new mothersB. new mothers live a very hard lifeC. new mothers shouldn't ask fbr helpD. people are willing to help new mothers10. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A. The newborn period is just sweet and milky.B. New mothers should give up their sense of self.C. The newborn period means privileges for mothers.D. New mothers have to sacrifice a lot for their babies.11. What does the author want to show in the text?A. Women should manage to be a good mother.B. New mother's suffering is a badge of honor.C. It should be made easier for new mothers to get help .D. People should be encouraged to mourn their sacrifices.参考答案:1-3ACD4-7BDAB8-11DCDC
