Kelly Trella has found a way to get rid of her 2-year-old son's old clothes; she swaps (交換) them. Trella was clearing her house when she came across a magazine article about ^ThredUP,a children's clothes swapping web- site. She signed up and has been swapping used clothes ever since.
ThredUP now has 15 ,000 members with another 1 ,000 being added each week. Founder and CEO James Reinhart says the company is trying to attract parents who are buying their children clothes for the new term. The existence of ThredUP is surely driven by the economy.
“These days people who once only dropped off clothes arebuyingthemtoo ,”saidJamesReinhart.“Morepeo- ple are more careful of what they spend,M he said. uThey (Mn’t have to worry about it before. They still want their kids to have those really nice things,but they don't have the money to do it. ”
ThredUP worked with a Boston charity to give $ 1 from every swap to the charity to help clothe children and buy them school supplies. The site sends 10 boxes online to each customer. The customers can put their used clothes into the boxes and browse (浏览) the website for what they want. Once a customer finds what he wants,he pays $13 for transportation. The customer who owns the clothes then is informed so he can send the clothes off. There are no photos of the clothes,so decisions are pretty much based on brands and descriptions.
"The first box I got,I paid $ 13 in total and I got 13 shirks. Of course,they have gone through the wash a couple of times,but they are of good quality,” Trella said. “You are giving and you are getting. It's nice to share."
The company relies on customer reviews to get rid of the people who are giving clothes that are in bad condition. There is trust involved for the people who use the site.

In the fall of 1992,when Vickie was ten,she and her father,Jim Just happened to notice an advertisement for a new flight school. Her father suggested to her that since she wanted to be an astronaut,she might want to take a flying lesson Just see if she liked it. She was excited.
Vickie continued with her flying lessons. She was so brave that she impressed her teacher and soon passed ground school with straight As. She would also have passed her pilots exam if she had been old enough. Instead,she’ll have to wait until she is 16 to get her pilot's license.
Vickie made her first record-breaking flight in September 1993,at the age of 11. She flew a small plane across the United States,from Maine to California. Although by law she had to have a licensed pilot at her side,he never touched the controls or helped her in any way. She was the youngest woman pilot to fly across the US and the youngest pilot ever to fly across the US from East to West. That direction is considered the most difficult flight because it means flying against the wind. And in fact she had to fly her way through strong headwinds.
Because she was flying a small plane and FAA (联邦航空局) rules limited her to flying no more than eight hours each day,the trip took several days with eight stops. Her parents followed along on commercial flights,meeting her at each stop.
