Ⅰ.阅读理解
Every festival has its own meaning. Labour Day, for example, celebrates the value of hard work. But somehow it now ems that while celebrating all festivals we just care about one thing—shopping. And that can be a big problem.
“In a way, overconsumption (过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems，” Kalle Lasn once told CNN. Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day, a day t up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits, and has now become an international event. It's held on the day, which is known as Black Friday—a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.
You can e the irony (奇异可笑之处) here.
Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up 27 years ago, we em to need it now more than ever. It's just as Lasn said, all the different kinds of dilemmas in our lives today—bad air quality, the reduction of forest area, endangered animal species, and plastic bags found in the ocean—em to be the same cau: overconsumption.
The latest example is the Singles' Day shopping craze of Nov. 11, which saw a new sales record. But as Nie Li, a campaigner at Greenpeace, told Reuters, “Recordtting overconsumption means recordtting waste.” And it was reported that last year the Singles' Day packages left more than 160,000 tons of waste, 酸菜羊肉的做法
including plastic and cardboard. The Collins dictionary has also just named “singleu” its Word of the Year, pointing out the problem that there're too many things we throw away after only using them once.
