The man

10、 gave up fast food, new clothes, and even toilet paper, until he got to a point where his trash for an entire year fit into just two plastic bags! Karwat, who is originally from India, started the trashfree experiment when he lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and managed to keep it going for two and a h

11、alf years. In the first year, he produced only 7.5 pounds of trash, and in the second year, he brought that number down to 6 pounds, which is a mindblowing(令人兴奋的) 0.4 percent of the pounds of yearly trash produced by the average American. Looking back, Karwat says that the project was born due to th

12、e radio show The Story, on which he heard of a British couple who lived trashfree. “I walked home from my laboratory at the University of Michigan and told my roommate Tim that I thought I could do better and that Id start soon，” Karwat wrote in an essay for The Washington Post. “And just like that,

13、 I began an experiment in individual activism in the face of large environmental problems.”He obviously had to make lots of sacrifices to live this wayhe stopped buying any kind of package food, and gave up buying new clothes or things for his home. Giving up so many things also meant that Karwats s

14、ocial life took a beating. Bringing his own glass to parties to avoid using paper cups wasnt cool, but in the end, he thought it was all worth it because he was able to prove that people could follow sustainable lifestyles if they choose to. Karwat believes that if he could live a trashfree lifestyl

16、esearch project of his university. 23How does Karwat find his lifestyle? AMindblowing and awesome.BAwkward but worthwhile. CInconvenient but welcome.DUnique and rewarding.BIn the year 2008, Michael, a businessman, with two decades of successful business, felt his world crashing down around him.Fewer

17、 phone calls were coming, but he tried not to panic. Then customers stopped calling completely and he had no choice but to apply for bankruptcy(破产)Without his support, his wifes business also went under.Old Michael started looking for jobs.The only work he could find was to be a custodian(管理员) at a

18、local college.The pay was about half what he used to make, but the benefits were good, so he told himself that he would avail_himself_of the benefits offered by the school. One of the added job benefits was tuitionfree classes, so he decided to attend them as well. Michael would take the classes by

19、day and clean up at night.But it didnt all go smoothly. “When you have lost everything like me, you dont trust your ambition. Youre just trying to get through the day，” Michael said. “It was hard to look my kids in the eye. I couldnt tell them to work hard and they would be successful. because I did

20、 that, and I lost.”In spite of the hardships Michael had to go through, he kept going to classes, and after three years into his studies he realized he was well on his way to a college degree. He felt awkward attending school along with students at his kids age, but the support of the other students

21、 turned out to be a big factor in his unbelievable achievement.In 2016, eight years after taking his first class at WPI, Michael walked out on the stage to pick up his diploma. Michaels ambition and insistence have inspired the entire custodial staff at WPF. “When people say my story inspires them,

22、I know what that means on the other side. From time to time, other peoples stories got me through unpleasant times. Im glad I can be that person，” Michael said. 24What happened to Michael in 2008?

CThese days, young people in some Englishspeaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating

25、 on social media. Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge.” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally”. Similar

26、ly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代), typing in this form is not only timesaving but fashionable.As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by socalled “totesing”the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have st

27、arted with “totally” becoming “totes”， but it now has spread to many other English words.The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”. “Bae”， for example, has been widely used by AfricanAmericans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with ones romantic partner or

28、, like “sweetheart”， for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist(语言学家) Rosey Billington doesnt agree. She say

29、s when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analyzed hundreds of examples of totesspeak and discovered totesing has co

30、mplex roots. It isnt simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speakers mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules. 28Why do young people

31、 like using slangs on social media?AThey are timeconsuming. BThey are in fashion. CThey are complex. DThey are in order. 29Whats the authors purpose of mentioning “Bae” in Paragraph 5? ATo support that totesing is no baby talk. BTo analyze the usage of millennial slangs. CTo inform people how it became mainstream.DTo give an example of the complex origins of millennial slangs. 30Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with? ATotesing is a loosely organiz
