A popular shopping bag has been seen on the arm of some of the world’s most beautiful women. It sells at an official price of ￡5, but as much as ￡400 online. The bag called “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” is made of cotton. It is so “hot” that now everyone wants to get one. It’s fashionable, and it’s green!
Supporters see the bag as a way to move away from throwaway(一次性的) plastic bags that are given away in large numbers by supermarkets every year.
When the bags were first sold, about 500 people waited in line to buy one. So far, 20,000 of the popular bags have been sold at the second largest supermarket in Great Britain. It is one of the ways to encourage shoppers to use the reusable(可再利用的) bags, rather than the plastic ones.
The bag has also become a must-have for many famous people who want to be fashionable, and at the same time care about the environment.
The designer of the bag has been asked to develop the bag by the “We Are What We Do” group. The group believes that each person in Great Britain uses about 167 plastic bags every year. It says that small lifestyle changes can have a strong effect on reducing waste and the environmental pollution. It also says that everyone should try his best to protect the earth from being polluted.
小題1:We can buy the popular bag at a price of ￡5 __________.
A．on the Internet
B．from the shops all over the world
C．a(chǎn)t the designer’s home
D．a(chǎn)t the 2nd largest supermarket in Britain

A．those who want to do something by themselves

Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”？“Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them.
