One city in Toronto has started a project to give it one.Earlier this year，the Toronto suburb (郊区) of Markham introduced a new program encouraging its residents and residents of nearby suburbs to donate their old unwanted clothing. The program is exceptional because unlike most of those secondhand stores, they are accepting old clothing that isnt quite in perfect condition. It is breathing new life into these typicallytrashed items. Contrary to common belief, textiles (纺织品) are not only used for clothing, and these items are being repurposed in a variety of interesting ways.The city has set up many different donation centers around the suburbs, and residents are encouraged to donate any unwanted textiles they happen to have lying around their house. Its volunteers duty to divide the donations into different sorts. Those items in usable and good condition are donated to local homeless shelters and other aid centers. Those which are not are shipped off to be used for industrial purposes. Only when there is no more industrial need for fabric and textiles will they begin to use their last placea landfill outside the city.The program isnt the citys only green initiative (倡议)It has already had one of Canada and the worlds largest solar panels，and it is said that they are steadily working towards a shift to 100% renewable energy. The city also has subsidized (补助) farmers markets and over 125 miles of bike paths. As a result，Markham also has a much lower rate of obesity than other Canadian cities.

Influenced by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to enable students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.” And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016. Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions.” Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generations social justice issue,” she said. “Its our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”32. What is the topic of the article?A. The effects of the culture of perfectionism.B. A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.C. Research into the trend of perfectionism. D. Various pressures that todays young people are facing.33. What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?A. Her strong interest in mental health.B. Her project during the freshman year.C. The pressure she had experienced.D. Her brothers mental illness.34. What may be pushing todays young people to struggle to be perfect, according to the article?a. The impact of social media.b. Parents high expectations of their children.c. The decreasing number of college students.d. The fierce competition in society.e. Their desire to draw their parents attention.A. a, b, d B. a, d, e C. a, b, c D. b, c, e35. What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?A. Making them aware of what true social justice is.B. Lowering their expectations of themselves.C. Reducing parents involvement in their childrens life.D. Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Television is everywhere around us.
