D
Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States)  made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.
McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily.
“So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”
63.Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?
A. He is a famous fashion designer.
B. He is the executive vice president of the HSUS.
C. He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily.
D. He is the head of all animal protection organization.
64.What does “a new chapter” in line two, paragraph one mean?
A. A new unit of a book.                                                 B. The beginning of a new trend.
C. The latest issue of a magazine.                       D. A newly established organization.
65.Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll?
A. Polyester.                       B. Bamboo.                         C. Leather.                 D. Patchwork pieces.
66.What do we learn from this passage?
A. Human beings depend emotionally on animals.
B. Fashion can go hand in hand with compassion for life.
C. Fur is more effective than bamboo/cotton blend for clothing.
D. Fur is more expensive than other materials for fashion designers.

One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could,   4   not intending to pay for it.

They   7   the food and simply crowded together in panic – knowing the policed were   8   the way.

Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn’t have to steal if they were that   9 . “We have food in the back, expired (到期) but still   10   to eat. If you need food, you  11   have some.”

They were told to   12   what they had dropped and put it back, then asked to straighten out the mess. They were doing just that   13   the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer   14  .

This wasn’t what they had   15  . They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they’d done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.

Soon three   16   people walked out with all the   17  their arms could hold. They wee   18   that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.

And then the young man went back to reading until the next customer came in. He would be the   19  person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of – a   20   amount of self – respect and a little bit of hope.
