attention worldwide, particularly in europe and the united states. this is an activity aimed at making more effective use of resources by providing a platform for people to exchange free of charge those fashion items in their closets that they dont use anymore. in london, fashion swap events sponsored by the credit card company visa focus on the swapping of specific brands. japans first major fashion swap event, “xchange,” was held in september 2007 in tokyo. the xchange event is designed to exchange not only fishing items but also information and feelings from the owners of the clothes, using what is called an “episode tag.” participants put tags on each of the items they bring and write their name and a bride episode about the items.for example, a tag of a white jacket read, “this is a gift from a friend, but its just not my style.” on a tag attached to a pair of red shoes, a person wrote. “these dont fit me anymore. i hope someone who loves red can use them.” just as shoppers check price tags, some people check the episode tags before making a selection, imagining who used to wear the item. the episode tags make people aware of the human connection by exchanging goods. many participants say things like, “im very lucky to get such lovely clothes for free,” and “i was happy to see someone try on and choose what i brought here.” unwanted clothes for one person can be new and exciting for someone else. besides, xchange achieves close to a 100-percent reuse rate by donating leftover clothes to companies that reuse or recycle secondhand clothing. anything they cannot use, they then donate to developing countries or reuse them as rags. since 2007, the xchange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of japan, always attracting many participants. this success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact on the environment. 1. whats the main purpose of the fashion exchange?a. to attract peoples attention. b. to make good use of resources.c. to get rid of unwanted clothes. d. to try to avoid buying new clothes. 答案解析：答案为b。 本题为细节题。由第一段第二句话 “this is

not too happy was generally stopping over at around 13 percent. the factors that add up to a happy life for most people are not what we typically hear about. however, the key to happiness, and the difference between happy and unhappy americans, is a life that reflects values and practices like faith, hard work, marriage, charity, and freedom. 1. the author intends to tell readers. a. why we
