The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come.Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time.Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines. The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges.Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find.“Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says.For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once put into a dress.But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents. Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support.Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable.It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago.This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material.“Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn. Some analysts are less sure.Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago.Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer.When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind.But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be. 1.What is said about FutureFashion? A.It inspired many leading designers to start going green. B.It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far. C.It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized. D.It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable. 2.According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that . A.much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials B.they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials C.customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials D.quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available 3.What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion? A.She is doubtful of its practical value. B.She doesn’t think it is sustainable. C.She doesn’t seem to care about it. D.She is very much opposed to the idea. 4.What does the author think of green fashion? A.Green products will soon go mainstream. B.It has a very promising future. C.Consumers have the final say. D.It will appeal more to young people.

Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user.By using Everyclick, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny. Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity — 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity.This age group is often the least likely to have their own income.19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000.With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible. Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students.“When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth.“Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.” Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so.Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. Everyclick works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks.Everyclick then makes monthly payments to every registered charity.Launched in June 2005, Everyclick is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK. 1.According to the passage, “wugging” is actually ______. A.a website B.a charity-related action C.a school organization D.a student movement 2.In the case of charity, Everyclick ______. A.frees students from the financial worries B.receives much money from students C.offers valuable information to students D.praises students for their money-raising 3.What does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement? A.It makes Everyclick popular in the UK. B.It becomes easy to do charity because of it. C.It results in students’ more social awareness. D.It helps students to save money. 4.What would be the best title for this passage? A.“Wugging”, a new popular term on the Internet. B.British people show strong interest in charity. C.More Britain charities benefit from the Internet. D.Students raise money for charity by “wugging”.
