六、阅读表达。
阅读短文,回答文后的问题。
The clothes you wear tell a lot about your personality. They protect you from the weather and give you a way to express yourself. But when you are tired of your old clothes and want something new, don't throw your old clothes away! Give them to a charity or a second-hand store. One day, they could end up at a recycling company such as Savannah Rags International!
At Savannah Rags,excess(过量的) clothing is gathered and can be dealt with in several stages. First, it is collected from charities, schools and local second-hand stores and brought to the company. There, workers sort it by material—cotton over here, polyester over there, etc. The workers also sort out items that are in bad condition. These are turned into other things, such as cleaning rags. But the rest of the clothing is packaged and shipped to places in Europe and Africa. There, local merchants buy it and resell it in stores and markets. This is a great way to keep old clothes out of landfills. And, most importantly, it helpsimportantly, it helps protect natural resources!
Manufacturing(制作) clothing uses a lot of natural resources. Take blue jeans for example. Jeans are made mostly of cotton, which is a very thirsty crop. It can take over 6,000 liters of water to grow enough cotton to make one pair of jeans.It takes even more water to dye them blue! By recycling, you can help save water. Even if you don't buy from second-hand stores,you can make your wardrobe more eco-friendly.
1.Wash your clothes less often.
Research shows that 60 to 80 percent of a garment's environmental impact comes from how often it is washed. If you can, wear your clothes two to three times before washing them. Then use cold water to save energy!
2.Be a big-picture shopper.
Before you buy something, consider: Will I still want to wear this a year from now If not, leave it for someone who will.
3.Donate!
Companies like Savannah Rags want to give your clothes a second chance. Find out where your local clothing recycling bins are. And keep your clothes out of the trash!
1.How can you deal with your old clothes
2.Where is the rest of the clothing shipped to after it is packaged
