I can buy sugar-free,fat-free,African food,Asian food,yet if I want to buy plastic-free it is impossible for me to do so.”Eckersley says,“After Willow,my daughter,was born,it made me think about what future lies ahead for her.I wanted to say that I at least tried,and I wanted to make a difference.”4.What has happened to Richard Eckersley’s business?A.It has spread worldwide.B.It is attracting large numbers of customers.C.It has received many complaints about its goods.D.It is facing fierce competition from other similar stores.5.What do we know about Ingrid Caldironi?A.She lost money on her business.B.She built a plastic-free store in Devon.C.She had little interest in waste reduction.D.She took part in an anti-plastic movement.6.How have big supermarkets reacted to the plastic-free idea?A.They are giving up their original ideas.B.They are offering more choice.C.They show little concern for it.D.They support it.7.What led to the campaign A Plastic Planet?A.Customers’ need for plastic-free goods.B.Plastic coverings in supermarkets.C.The Blue Planet television series.D.Richard Eckersley’s store.二、七选五From the time my kids were little I was determined to teach them the value of a dollar.1If they didn’t do their chores,they didn’t get their allowance (零花钱).And if they didn’t have money,they couldn’t buy anything.It’s kind of like real life.There was only one problem — me.2And then,when they occasionally would want to buy something that they couldn’t quite afford,I would sometimes let them borrow from the next week’s allowance.But then I’d forget how much they’d borrowed and we’d end up arguing about just how much I owed them.3Obviously I’m not alone — both in wanting to teach my kids financial responsibility and in needing help.4Gregg Murset,a financial planner who has six kids of his own,created MyjobChart — a website that helps you keep track of the jobs your kids are doing and determine how much they’re owed.5 My 22-year-old daughter recently explained how her emergency fund,built up by saving financial gifts and working during school,allowed her to live independently while continuing her education.So perhaps the thing to remember is that kids learn about handling money from theirparents.Save,spend responsibly and try to explain why and they might just end up getting the message.A.In short,I was an unsuccessful banker.B.It is helpful in teaching my kids about money.C.I’d forget to check whether they’d completed their chores.D.So I set up the reward system and record their required chores.E.The kids can sign in and record when they’ve completed their work.F.So I gave them chores and an allowance when they were relatively young.G.Now some parents working on technologies have come up with ways to solve this problem.三、语法填空Climate scientists from the University of Sydney in Australia say tourism causes over 8% of greenhouse gases.Their study looked at the carbon footprints of many 1.
