Shopping at Second-Hand Clothing Stores
When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college,shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something
he did一“like changing the tires on his car."He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of
money by shopping for clothes at
thrift shops.
" Even new clothes are fairly disposable（可丢掉的）and worn out after a couple of years , " Barth said.
"In thrift shops,you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."
Since then,Barth,who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida,has found that there are
all kinds of reasons for shopping for second一hand clothing.Some people,like him,shop to save money.Some
shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.
Pat Akins , an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA)（救世军）thrift shop, said that, for her,
shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.
"When my daughter was little,we looked at it as recycling,"Akins said."Also,why pay 30 dollars for
a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"
Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US一“some as big as department stores".All of the
clothes are donated（捐赠）,and when they have a surplus（盈余）,they' ll have "stuff-a-bag" specials,
where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.
Julia Slocum,22,points out,however,that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the
result of American wastefulness.
"I'd say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful,materialistic culture,"said Slocum,who
works for a pro-conservation organization,the Center for a New American Dream."Thrift shops prevent the
waste from going to landfills（垃圾填埋场）;they give clothing a second life , provide cheaper clothing for
those who can' t afford new ones and generate（生成）income for charities. They also provide a way for the
wealthy and middle classes to shed（摆脱）some of the guilt for their level of consumption."

参考答案
参考解析
解析：由文章第三、四两段的内容可知，Pete Barth在“善心”旧货店（thrift shop）工作，而Pat Akins才是“救世军”旧货店的一名会计，故选C。
由文章第一段第二句“He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops”可知，Pete Barth上大学时发现在二手服装店购买衣服可以给 他省下很多的钱，因此他才去旧货店买衣服，由此可知，他这样做的目的是省钱，故选A。
由文章第四段可知，Pat Akins是“救世军”旧货店的一名会计，故选B。
由文章最后一段的倒数一、二句内容可知，旧货店低价处理衣物可以避免那些衣服被 当作垃圾扔到垃圾填埋场；能让衣服重新被使用；给没钱买新衣服的人提供了选择；给慈善机 构带来了收益；除此之外，还能帮助富裕的中产阶级摆脱奢侈浪费的内疚感。但这并不是说， 这种方式能够阻止有钱人浪费，故选D。
one dollar shop的意思是“廉价商店”;thrift的意思为“节约，节俭”，在第一段中，thrift shops也是指“廉价商店”，故thrift可以用one dollar替换。 第三篇 本篇文章主要通过两个研究说明了熬夜并不能带来好的学习成绩，并对此进行了分析。
