Luxury consumption in China now extends way beyond well - known car. Clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market ,n China is the fastest - growing in the world, even outstripping that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to continue, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US. But more important, Chinas luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.

Over the past five years, Chinas red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to gain face and publicly display social climbing through material possesses. On the other hand, it is self-reward that lies behind consumer motivation in this area Chinese consumer, who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success. But this has little to do with gaining face and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment. Finally, the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to thematurity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.28.

The Maturity of the Chinese ConsumersDEven if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across Ac Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in Ac world. As that happens. Tie tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra （冻土地带） starts has been shifting northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this, plants tend to grow horizontal ( 水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it take, for trees to grow this way means they dont have enough energy to make seeds.But as Earths climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can in. Stead grow up, toward Ac sky. This takes less energy. And with all that leftover energy. these trees have started producing more seeds. This happens especially in places where the white spruce( 白云杉) grows.White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind - blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond Ac tree line, they eventually can sprout ( 发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course. Ac process would work only if Ac tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, Ac whole planet has been warming.New trees will provide shelters for some snow. Keeping the suns rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the suns heat. This warms the surrounding air. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further boosts a forests ability to expand. In addition, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperature has helped more trees grow. The recent rise of temperature has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.32.

The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds. C. New trees can make the surrounding air warmer. D. New trees can bring more food and shelter for local animals.35.
