第二篇Shopping at Second-hand Clothing Stores When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college，shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something he did-“like changing the tires on his car.” He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops.“Even new clothes are fairly disposable(可丢掉的)and wear out after a couple of years，” Barth said. “In thrift shops，you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes.”Since then，Barth，who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people，like him，shop to save money．Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.Pat Akins，an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army(SA)(救世军)thrift shop, said that，for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.“When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling,” Akins said. “Also, why pay 30 dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less? ”Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US-“some as big as department stores.” All of the clothes are donated(捐赠), and when they have a surplus(盈余). They’ll have “stuff a bag” specials where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or l0 dollars.Julia Slocum, 22，points cut，however, that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness.“I'd say that second—hand stores are the result of our wasteful，materialistic culture,” said Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization，the Center for a New American Dream. “Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills(垃圾填埋场); they give clothing a second life，provide cheaper clothing for those who can’t afford new ones and generate(生成)income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed(摆脱)some of the guilt for their level of consumption.” Thrift shops can do everything EXCEPT（）

Money or Friendship or Both 1.Friends and money don’t mix. It’s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to lend him or her some money If you don’t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship and your money. 2.We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) - and some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Think about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it’s his fault, not yours. Any sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money for emergency use and you are willing to help him, before you dived into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money Are you sure you don’t need it Are you willing to write off that amount if it’s not returned If your answers are negative, do yourself a favor and say "no". 3.Let’s assume you can’t stand saying "no" to your friend because you don’t want him living off cat food. What do you do Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet: Amount of the loan. Date of the loan. Time of repayment. Amount of interest (if any). Lender’s and borrower’s signature. This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily. If your friend’s loan is past due, it’s important that you ask him - and it’s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you brood (忧伤), and the more your resentment builds. 4.You can send him a friendly reminder via e-mail. Tell him something like ’Tm going over my bank account and I’m just wondering when we’ll be able to settle that money thing." E-mail saves you from an uncomfortable face-to-face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an e-mail message will always be private. 5.After asking two or three times, you might have to wnte it off and the friendship with it. That’s what happens. If he just doesn’t have the money or is unwilling, then what kind of friend is that. Sometimes you may find it very difficult to decide（）
