23、Consumerism is a phenomenon which lies in the tendency of production and buying ever-greater amounts of different goods and services. It not only has an impact on the lifestyle of individuals, but also determines technological and financial progress of the whole states.
Firstly, consumerism enables people to improve the quality of their lives. As Llewellyn Harrison Rockwell states in his article “In Defense of Consumerism”, in 1900 the average life length of women was about 48 years, and of men — 46, but today these indexes are 80 and 77 respectively. This has happened due to the influence of many factors, among which are possibilities to get twenty-four-hour hospital-and home-based medical care, buy high-quality goods, medicines, and to use more safe devises in the working processes. Without the consumerism all this would be impossible as economically unprofitable.
Secondly, consumerism is an effective way of motivation. The temptation to buy a new device, better clothes and tastier food encourages people to earn more money. But for this they should work harder, develop their professional skills and widen their outlook. Moreover, a new purchase itself can become a reason for a person to get some new experience.
Thirdly, the economies of almost all developed countries are based on production of new goods and services. You may not realize it, but the more people buy, the more income the state gets, and the more money can be donated to the social spheres, such as health care, education and culture. So the countries possessing more financial resources provide their citizens with better life conditions.
On the other hand, there is an opinion that consumerism is a kind of a harmful circle, which will not make people’s lives better, but will only contribute to an endless competition between all of them. Juliet Bschor, for example, thinks that the rising number of different goods and services available nowadays makes people neither happier nor wealthier. It only makes them work harder in order to earn money for just another nice thing, spending less time with their families and friends, and trying to compensate it with buying new goods. The satisfaction usually does not last long, only till the moment one sees someone else possessing a better or more fashionable thing. But in fact, the issue of social happiness does not depend on services of products that can be bought. It is just a matter of a person’s character.
So consumerism can influence society both positively and negatively depending on many factors. But, in general, it has more advantages, because it serves as a basis for development on individual, social and state levels.
【1】According to the passage, the temptation to buy things can ________.
A．force people to work harder
B．lead people to earn more money
C．provide people with more holidays
D．forbid people to be more professional
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards consumerism?
A．Favorable.
B．Objective.
C．Negative.
D．Doubtful.
【3】What’s the purpose of the 5th paragraph?
A．To present one opinion.
B．To show changes of people’s lives.
C．To tell what social happiness depends on.
D．To convey a study result about life satisfaction.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The qualities of people’s lives.
B．The evaluation of life satisfaction.
C．The influences of consumerism.
D．The tendency of economic development.
24、Every Sunday at 2 p.m., Marisela Godinez, the owner of El Mesón Tequilería, a Mexican restaurant in Austin, Texas, used to fill a 12-gallon bucket, plus another half-bucket, with leftover food from the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. “We threw out a lot of food,” she said.
But a few months ago Ms. Godinez signed up to use an app called Too Good To Go. Now, 10 customers pick up “surprise bags” of her leftovers for $ 5. 99 each, and she sends far fewer leftovers to the landfill.
Around the country, apps that connect customers to businesses with leftover food have begun to spread. The concept is simple: Restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of food every day. Rather than trash it, apps like Too Good To Go and Flashfood help businesses sell it at a reduced price. They claim that the businesses and buyers are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big contributor to climate change.
Food production itself is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for between a quarter and a third of global emissions. Each step of the process-growing, harvesting, moving, processing, packaging, storing and preparing food-releases carbon dioxide,methane and other planet-warming gases. When the food is wasted, so are all those emissions. In addition, once unused food reaches landfills, it breaks down and releases more methane.
Too Good To Go has tried to gamify (游戏化) buying leftover food. In the United States, customers in 12 cities can browse restaurants and stores, then reserve “surprise bags” that typically cost about $4 to $ 6 and contain food that would have been originally priced at roughly three times that amount. The bags can be picked up at a certain time window.
According to interviews with several companies selling on Too Good To Go, at least a few items for sale there aren’t necessarily what buyers might think of as “food waste”. A beverage company owner said he used the app to sell discontinued products and he also wanted to try selling new flavors there in hopes of attracting new customers.
【1】How does Marisela Godinez deal with leftovers now?
A．By throwing them into buckets.
B．By sending them to the landfill.
C．By selling them on the special app.
D．By offering them to customers for free.
【2】What does Paragraph 4 really want to say?
A．The complex process of food production.
B．The best way to reduce gas emission.
C．The popularity of Too Good To Go.
D．The negative effect of food waste.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Different kinds of games can be played on the app.
B．The goal of the app is to help people find food easily.
C．Discontinued products are sold on Too Good To Go.
D．New food products might be bought on Too Good To Go.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Too Good To Go helps cut a significant amount of food waste.
B．Too Good To Go inspires everyone to fight against gas emission.
C．Too Good To Go saves a number of people from being hungry.
D．Too Good To Go contributes to the increase of the business well.
