What is eco-fashion?Eco-fashion is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers two aspects of fashion-‘ecological'and‘ethical'(伦理的).Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues (议题) surrounding them; ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion?Firstly,the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily.Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-making (人造纤维生产) brings about harmful waste.Secondly,every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment.They all use a great deal of energy,and some also involve harmful chemicals.In addition to this,there is a lot of waste produced in the process,especially in the form of polluted water.Thirdly,growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects.We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment,and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then,how to solve the problems?To a large degree,it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future.There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint,from switching to green energy and reducing energy use,through selecting sustainable (可持续使用的) materials and choosing local suppliers,to recycle and minimize waste.On the other hand,as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate.They relate directly to our personal health.In fact,choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health,though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.

16.Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night.And on the Internet,the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).A half century ago in the United states,most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work,school time and summer time,Today the boundaries still exist,but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most,it no longer does,It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer,in most,it still does.And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits,or whether it should become more"flexible"is often debated,How should we,as a society,organize our time?Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask.Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face.We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours,a certain number of days,a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (学监),we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents'demand rather than to the law.As adults we are familiar with"extra pay for overtime working."but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成)"overtime"is a matter of legal definition.,When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time,have we ever thought to ourselves;"Here is the law in action"?As we shall see,there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time:compulsory education law,overtime law,and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing,holidays,being late to work,time zones,and so on.Once we begin to look for it,we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

A.work time is equal to rest time

67.The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2to introduce the fact that peopleC.
A.fail to make full use of their time

68.According to the passage,most children tend to believe that they go to school because theyB.

Hi Tom,
Nice to read your e-mail today.I notice you've begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly.
However,I'm afraid there is one mistake I'd like to point out.It is"无所不为".This idiom means"do all kinds of bad things".Are you dong all kinds of bad things at home?I guess what you were really trying to say is that you've got nothing to do these days.In that case,you should use"无所事事".We usually use"无所不为"to express the idea that people dare to do anything bad,and"无所事事"to describe the situation in which people have got nothing meaningful to do.Have I made myself clear?
Anyway,I'm amazed at the progress you've made.
Hope you'll find a job soon.
Huahua.
