38、en and Cool,Reading A,Part 3,Background Information,Its good to be frugal.Frugal living habits are not the tools we use to boast ourselves, but a show of self-cultivation.

41、hen you bought them new. Once in a second-hand market, I got an outfit at a very low price to wear for attending a public lecture.

43、ing one.,Reading A,Part 3,节俭既绿色又很酷,English,有一句流行的谚语说：“一个人的垃圾是另一个人的黄金。”我喜欢节俭，我的爱好是在生活中“花最少的钱办最多的事”。下面就是我作为爱好而喜欢做的事情。买二手货。人们扔掉还能穿的衣服、鞋子和包包。这些东西在跳蚤市场和慈善商店出售时要比你新买时便宜。有一次在旧货市场，我低价买了一身衣服去参加一次公共演讲。以这种方法回收利用物品，而不是去买新的东西，非常环保。老式的衣服和复古的时装现在也是时髦的，在世界各地有大量的追随者。与人分享物品。有些家用物品不经常被使用。CD、杂志和书籍有着同样的命运。在网上与“分享一族”或与朋友
44、分享这些物品，是一种从产品中获得最佳使用价值的好方法，分享要比购买省钱。,Reading A,Part 3,Being Thrifty Is Green and Cool,Chinese,Clothes swaps.

47、A,Part 3,节俭既绿色又很酷,English,交换衣服。一群朋友可以交换他们不穿的衣服，让其他人带回家。这很有趣，同时也是一种很好的不用去购物也能使你的衣橱增添色彩的方法。种植植物和鲜花。如果你家有阳台，种点绿色植物或鲜花是使你的生活丰富多彩的好方法。这是很好的锻炼，也是享受阳光和劳动的一次机会，人们并不经常拥有这样的机会。你也可以购买植物种在室内。买种子比买店家已经培育好的植物更便宜。我也建议把野生植物移植到家里来，相比从店里买回的植物，这些植物会生长得更好且不需要太多的打理。我把种的植物和鲜花作为礼物送给我的朋友们。,Reading A,Part 3,Passage Learning
