7、follow celebritiesBThe clearing of my parents home has made me think about the importance, even centrality of books to the houses life and soul. The house, and our lives in it, would not have been the same without books. The force of the statement comes home to me as I see what happens when shelves

8、arc emptied. The rooms suddenly look uncomfortably bare.I always rather took it for granted that books furnished a room. The only rooms in our house without books were the dining-room and the bathrooms. Otherwise there were books everywhere: in all the bedrooms, in the drawing-room and in the piano

9、room which became my parents comfortable winter study.I couldnt help feeling that books were rather like people: some more formal and boring, others more entertaining; some simply for show, others with unpromising outsides but richinteriors. They had more, in fact, than furnish a room, and they were

10、 companions who will offer insights, good advice.Now the books are being contributed (not all, to be sure, but very many), and I fear for their future, almost as if they were refugees(难民). “Habent sua fata libelli”, goes as the old Latin saying, originally written by Retentions; it meant that the fa

11、te and future of books were determined by the capability of the reader. But the meaning of the phrase has been misunderstood by time and is now associated with the physical fate of particular books, how they have passed from owner to owner. This is how Walter Benjamin read the saying when he wrote h

12、is essay “Unpacking My Library”, which analyses the extraordinarily close relationship between a collector and his or her books.As I deal with the books many are going to charity (慈善) shops and I hope they will find good homesI cant help wondering if my generation is the last that will oversee such

13、a process. Books are disappearing, as more and more are bought in electronic form and exist only as bytes of information on Ebooks or other devices. Does this matter?

16、rentsusedeveryroomoftheirsasastudyCThe Lifecycle of a T-shirtWe all probably have a lot of T-shirts, but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet? Youd probably be surprised to learn whats involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt.There are 5 major stages: materi

17、al, production, shipping, use and disposal The material stage involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning（轧花）. While cotton is a natural fiber (纤维）and not as harmful to the environment as manmade fibers, it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial co

18、tton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pesticides (杀虫剂）is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US.Once the cotton is grown and harv

19、ested, so begins the production stage: spinning, knitting（编织）, bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc.these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater. After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the t

20、ransportation stage. This often involves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments (衣服）are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck，all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that CO2 emissions from

21、 light trucks alone amount to 1.15 pounds per mile.Once the T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times youve washed and dried your favorite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming mor

22、e efficient. However, the average American household does 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers.The final stage of life is disposal. This releases harmful emissions, or involves a l

23、andfill where cotton takes years to break down. Current US records show that an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills.We all need new clothes every once in a while, but lets all try to keep in mind what goes in

24、to the production of clothing. It has a real impact on the planet.There are a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycle clothes. If theyre too worn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textil

25、es. When possible, make an effort to buy organic cotton. Turn down the thermostat(恒温器) on your washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.8. The underlined phrase “takes a toll” probably means “ ”A. wastes water B. takes a lot of time C. uses energy D. has a bad effect9. We can

26、 learn from the passage that in the US, .A. pesticides in cotton farming cost over 4 billion dollars every yearB. C02 emissions of land transport amount to 1.15 pounds per mileC. about 15% of the clothes and shoes are made of materials that are recycledD. about 16, 000 gallons of water is used annua

28、mful of the five stages.11. What is the purpose of this article?A. To encourage people to donate clothes to charity.B. To promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes.C. To persuade people to purchase more organic cotton.D. To introduce the five stages in the lifecycle of clothing.DEudaimonia is

29、an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失）in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.When we nowadays try to clearly express the purp

30、ose of our lives，it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. We tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on t

31、he term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, heavily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is very possible to be fulfilled andat the same timeunder pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的）mood. This is a slight psychologica
