to 40
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard people daily with
things to buy. Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without
thinking, while major brands offer such cheap clothes that they can be treated like
disposable items - worn two or three times and then thrown away.
In Britain, the average person spends more than £1,000 on new clothes a
year, which is around four per cent of their income. That might not sound like
much, but that figure hides two worrying trends for society and for the
environment. First, a lot of that consumer spending is via credit cards. British
people currently owe approximately £670 per adult to credit card companies. Also,
not only are people spending money they don't have, they're using it to buy things
they don't need.
Britain throws away 300,000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes
into landfill sites. People might not realise they are part of the disposable clothing
problem because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities. But charity shops
can't sell all those unwanted clothes. 'Fast fashion' goes out of fashion as quickly as
it came in and is often of too poor quality to recycle; people don't want to buy it
second-hand. Huge quantities end up being thrown away, and a lot of clothes that
charities can't sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental
problems. So think carefully about the clothes we buy!

A. minor B. normal C. serious D. leading

A. The problems of clothing overconsumption
B. The best ways to spend money on clothes
C. The benefits of making certain clothes
D. The drawbacks of online shopping

A. clothes B. people C. landfill site D. problems
Question 40: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Giving unwanted clothes to charity shops does not completely solve the
problem.
B. Charities can find ways to sell all donated clothes even if they are not of very
good quality.
C. The average British person spends about forty per cent of their annual income
on new clothes.
D. Small quantities of unwanted clothes are thrown away.
