How does one choose which team to support? Some people choose the team of their hometown, or where they now live, or the team that their parents or their friends follow.A boy student from Oklahoma wrote a letter to each of the owners or presidents of the 32 NFL teams. He would see what answers he got, and then choose his team.Bill was home from school sick. It was the week before Christmas. He was “kind of bored” and needed something to do. So he asked his parents if he could write to every professional football team. Bill wrote the 32 letters by hand.“We werent quite sure what we could get back. He didnt really have one team that he wanted to hear from,” his mother said: “He just wanted to see what kind of reply he d get.”A letter to the Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was one of those posted. Bill wrote in his letter, “My family and I love football. They are fans of different teams. But I dont have a team to cheer for yet. I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for lifetime!”A few weeks later, Bills mother was pulling into her driveway when a delivery man arrived with a box from the Panthers. When Bill came home, he excitedly opened the box. Inside he found a signed Carolina Panthers helmet(头盔）as well as a handwritten note from Jerry.The team owner had written to Bill, “We should be honored(光荣的）if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud of your joining us.”Bill was overjoyed with what he got. He decided that from then on he would support the Panthers. He keeps the letter from Jerry in his bedroom. His mother says, “Its not the helmet they sent us. Its what they told us.” That is what mattered to Bill and why he chose to become a Panthers fan.（1）We learn from the passage _.

Clothes bought at thrift shops are more popular than ever in the West nowadays.A lot of young people have an interest in secondhand clothing.Goodwill Industries, one of the most famous secondhand shopping companies in the US, said there had been an increase of 84 percent in money made from the sale of donated goods from 2007 to 2012, from $1.9 billion(about 13 billion yuan) to $3.5 billion.Fanny Moizant, an online group that sells used clothes from luxury brands(奢侈品牌), agrees that “secondhand” is part of fashion now.“Fashion has changed,” she told the Financial Times last month.” People need our service -they need a place to let go and get rid of this excess(过剩).”It wasnt always this way. Secondhand clothes used to be much less popular.Keren Charles, 37, from the US, remembers how embarrassed she was the first time she entered a thrift store more than 20 years ago.“I didnt want anyone to see me,” Charles told CNN. “In high school, people thought you were either poor or homeless.”Now, the fashion fan says about 97 percent of her clothes are secondhand. Her favorite find is a $5 blue evening dress that could be worth hundreds of dollars.So what is a thrift shop, exactly?According to the US Association of Resale Professionals, a thrift shop is run by a not-for profit（非盈利的）organization to get money to charitable causes.The shops have become popular in recent times due to economic reasons.More customers began coming to thrift shops in the US at the start of the recession(萧条), according to CNN.And now secondhand clothing and vintage items are showing up in Western high fashion and street wear.Fashionable hip-hop artist Macklemore and Ryan Lewis even wore a 2013 Billboard Music Award for their hit song Thrift Shop. The song is about “looking for a come up”(search for cheap things in a thrift store.However, thrift store culture may be great for new shoppers and for business but its not so great for shoppers like Charles who are still “looking for a come up.”“The competition is tough now,” she told CNN. “Youre in the thrift stores, and youre seeing so many other people, but its still better than shopping at a department store.”（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? A . Vintage items sell better than other used clothes.B . Thrift shops are a new form of shops that have appeared in the last 10 years.C . Thrift shops sell used clothes in order to help people in need.D . Young people show less interest in secondhand clothing than older people.（2）According to the article, secondhand clothes have become popular in the West because _. A . there are more thrift stores to shop inB . people have to live on less moneyC . artists and stars are often seen in secondhand clothesD . people now care less about others opinions（3）The underlined word “Vintage” in paragraph 15 probably means“_”. A . old but expensiveB . large and very beautifulC . old but high qualityD . popular and new（4）What is the article mainly about? A . The popularity of thrift store culture.B .
