"I started a clothing line while on bedrest."

—Meg Remien, 31, San Francisco, CA
"In 2014 I broke my spine in a skiing accident. Actually, I broke about 10 bones—six of them
were in my back. I could not function on my own for several months and relied on my family
and husband to do everything for me. Being in that condition was humbling, but it was also
very boring. Binge-watching all kinds of shows and movies eventually became monotonous.
That's when I started to design. After my accident, I was in bed for most hours of the day. My
pajamas and sleepwear became uncomfortable. I noticed I didn't like the waistband on one or
the fabric of another and I began researching where I could find exactly what I was looking
for. Then I realized it didn't exist. I also started researching eco-friendly fashion. That's how
my clothing company, Raven & Crow, came to be. I never thought this would turn into a
business, but every time I explained my concept to someone new they said, 'That sounds
amazing. Let me know when you have some and I'll buy it.' So, with a simple design and
bamboo fabric that I adored, I had my first pair cut and sewn. The rest is history."

When fossil fuels, or other fuels, such as wood or peat, are buned, carbon dioxide is
released into the atmosphere. Vehicles also give out and add carbon dioxide to the
atmosphere.
Earth’s atmosphere allows most of the sun rays to pass through it to heat Earth’s
surface. Earth reflects much of the heat energy back into the atmosphere, but much of this
reflected radiation cannot escape. Gases such as carbon dioxide absorb it. They grow warm
and send heat radiation back to earth. This is the greenhouse effect. Many scientists think that
the greenhouse effect may change the climate, over the next 100 years or so. One consquence
of so called “global warming” resulting from the greenhouse effect could be melting of the
polar ice caps. This, in turn could lead to a rise in sea level which could floor large areas of
highly populated coastel land.

dioxide levels we need to reduce the amounts of carbon-rich fuels burned.

The internet connects all parts of the world without borders between them. Many people take
advantages of the internet network. One of them is by opening virtual stores, meaning people are providing
shops in cyberspace. They show photographs of goods with all their characteristics. They also reflect
prices, discounts and quality of goods. In addition to all the convenience of shopping online, we have to be
very careful and cautious in doing transactions through cyberspace. Many people have experienced bad
impacts of shopping online. Here are some examples of negative impacts of shopping online.
First, people tend to become consumptive because quality goods are often sold cheaply and buyers
don’t need to go anywhere. Such convenience raises the desire to continue shopping and it’s hard to resist.
Second, online shopping habits create crimes, such as deception. Many people take advantages of
this consumer psyche to open fake online stores aiming to get as much money as possible. Many
prospective buyers are deceived by such stores only because they offer bigger discounts than usual.
Without thinking people will immediately transfer money and hope to get good stuff at very cheap price,
but they never receive the goods they ordered.
Third, shopping online may create a feeling of disappointment because the items that buyers receive
do not match what they ordered. Unfortunately, the goods cannot be returned which means they have lost
their money and hope for getting good items.
Fourth, people tend to look at their cellphone very often to browse various virtual stores. They began
to ignore people and events that happen around them. Gradually, they will lose their social empathy.
Knowing that there are many negative impacts of shopping online, we have to remain cautions of
scams and not shop online too often. We need to browse in real shops, so we are not ignorant of people
and events around us.
38. The topic of the text is....
A. the advantages of shopping online.
B. the disappointment of shopping online.
C. the negative effects of internet connection.
D. the characteristics of goods in online shop.
