Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers
to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic
fabrics in their lines.
The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with
Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials
can still be tough to finD．"Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren"t comparable fabrics
that can just replace what you"re doing and what your customers are used to," he says. For example,
organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some
popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.
Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade
show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs (企业
家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to
designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers,
up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative
aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional (过渡型的) cotton at higher prices,
thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. "Mainstream is about to occur," says
Hahn.
Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists,
up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted
consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: "Not that I"m aware of."
Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she"s on the hunt for "cute
stuff that isn"t too expensive." By her own admission, green just isn"t yet on her minD．But-thanks

C．It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organizeD．
D．It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.

Many cities in the world are benefiting from the night activities of a group of people who call
themselves guerrilla (游击队) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades and a van full of flowers
and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of color. In city centre
locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to
find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.
In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the effort of the gardeners,
whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing
but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood
transformed in such a striking fashion.
Not only do the guerrilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to
water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants
they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesn"t look depressing in the winter months.
The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising
agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he
moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty
concrete pots, placed by the local governments to contain plants but never used. He went out after
midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the
entrance to the block.
He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash
donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within
six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice
to restore neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized
groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is also a website where would-be
urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.
B. nearby their house
C. often in return for others" help
D. out of their own free will
B. beautify the neighborhood
C. attract attention for his ad agency
D. make the plants a feast for his eyes
B. enjoying these beautiful flowers
C. helping plants live through winter months
D. changing the varieties of the plants
B. will later get well paid
C. are still not accepted by the local government
D. become more and more organized

fork,but that"s only superficial. Besides,in decent restaurants,you can always ask for a pair of knife
and fork,if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West,you
have your own plate of food,while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.
If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you"re in the country for
the first time,he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes,to be followed by the main courses
of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to
be followed by staple food ranging from rice,noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to
go with other dishes,you should say so in good time,for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple
food at last or have none of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts
like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners,there are always "public" chopsticks
and spoons for this purpose,but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine
friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it,just leave the food in
the plate.
People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.
When you have had enough,just say so. Or you will always overeat!
B. On Chinese dinner table,chopsticks replace knife and fork.
C. You"re treated to a formal dinner for the first time.

C.People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.
D. Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.

D. you should say so kindly.

confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk.
Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to
be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you
should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.
Don"t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at
all. What"s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not
have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what
he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just
bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when
my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches.
(The course I"m teaching here is Public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it
won"t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate
program.
B. be polite and friendly
C. have more discussions with them
D. understand what they think about
B. tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C. shows no interest in the course
D. is considered to have no opinion of his own
B. the students bargain with him
C. he pretends to know what he doesn"t
D. he has to give a speech
B. modesty doesn"t help you much in America
C. Americans also like modest people
D. modesty can help you through an American graduate program
B. The writer teaches in Europe for a living.
C. Students are encouraged to present simple questions.
D. One"s ignorance will give away in time.
widely accepted as social duty and responsibility. Because gift-giving is such an important social
aspect of Japanese life. It"s important to be aware of some key factors.
Devalue the gifts you give. The important thing is to act and seem modest. You don"t
want the receiver to think that you are arrogant or proud. Denigrate(贬低) your gift as much as
possible. It doesn"t matter if the label on the box bears the symbol for a famous brand. The
Japanese value the appearance of a modest gift-giver who tries to stay away from praise.
Praise the gift you receive. Although praising may seem obvious, overpraising the gift is
the key. It"s also important to praise the fine taste of the gift-giver in making that particular choice
for you. And don"t forget to give a thousand and one thanks.
Unless you are urged to do so. And when you do, you must take the utmost care in
unwrapping it. Don"t look eager, and be careful that you don"t tear the paper or cut the ribbon.
After observing, praising, and thanking, be sure to rewrap the gift as if it had never been opened.
Try to appear as if you take great pride in the value of the gift.
Choose gifts with practical value. In general, don"t buy things such as ornaments, vases,
and kitchenware; it"s already assumed that everyone has these things. To do so may suggest that
you don"t approve of the other person"s taste. Also, most Japanese houses are very small and
don"t have extra space for useless junk.
2. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words. (no more than 6 words)
3. List three kinds of things you"d better not buy for a Japanese friend.
①
②
③
4. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
5. What do the Japanese usually do when they receive a gift? (no more than l0 words)
