Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making clothes like these.
Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jumpsuits(连体裤), jackets, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles.
“Every year, people throw millions of water bottles into landfills(垃圾填埋场) or oceans. It takes hundreds of years to decompose(分解) these bottles. We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company's design director.
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, wash the plastic bottles and cut them into small pieces. Next, heat and melt(熔化) them into small balls. Then, melt the balls again to form thread(线). Finally, people can use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.
“Four bottles can make one pillowcase(枕套). Five can make a shirt, ten a dress, and twenty a short coat,” Juma said.
According to Causeartist, a website that focuses on new ideas, clothes made from plastic bottles could be even better than nylon and polyester(聚酯纤维) ones. Plastic thread can be made into different things, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this way may lead to a greener future of fashion.
( )26.Why did JUMA make clothes out of plastic bottles
A.To create a new kind of fashion way.
B.To have a competition with other companies.
C.To meet the needs of their new designs.
D.To save the environment.
( )27.Which step shows the right way to turn plastic bottles into clothing
A.①→②→③→④ B.③→①→④→②
C.②→①→④→③ D.③→②→①→④
( )28.How many bottles do we need to make two dresses
A.Five. B.Eight. C.Ten. D.Twenty.
( )29.According to Causeartist, clothes made from plastic bottles ________.
A.are strange to wear
B.will cause lots of doubts
C.are of good quality
D.need to be more creative
( )30.What does the last sentence suggest
A.More companies might make clothes from plastic bottles.

C.Being creative might become a fashion way itself.
D.Green might be the most common colour in fashion.
