in 2022, campaign grup Fashin Revlutin Chelsea dye garden fr its Chelsea Flwer Shw presentatin. An ancient craft, natural dyeing is a practice whse time has cme again, with hand tie-dyed fashin als making a cmeback in recent years.
The revival has been encuraged by Cvid lckdwns, "which allwed peple t explre the craft at hme, " says natural-dyeing enthusiast and teacher Susan Dye. It's unlikely, thugh, that the practice wuld have caught n in quite the same way if nt fr a cntinually grwing discmfrt abut fashin's heavy ftprint. Frm carbn emissins t animal cruelty, fashin is under cnsiderable inspectin. "Put it this way, 97% f dyes used in the industry are petrchemically （石油化学产品） based, " says sustainable fashin cnsultant Jackie Andrews, wh helped advise the UN Ethical Fashin Initiative. "We've gt net zer targets which mean we're ging t have t remve all thse petrchemicals frm the manufacturing cycle.”
Fashin is a huge plluter. Accrding t the UN Envirnment Prgram, the industry is respnsible fr up t ne-fifth f all industrial water pllutin--due t the fact that mst clthes tday are prduced in prer cuntries where regulatin is weak and enfrcement weaker still. Waste water is dumped directly int rivers and streams, pisning the land as well as the water surces f peple and animals wh rely n them.
It's easy t see why smene wh cares abut peple, planet and animals, as well as clthes, might turn t natural plant dyeing. Frm the beauty f the raw materials--ften wild plants--t the prperty f nly bnding with natural fiber like cttn and linen, frm the minr ftprint f upclycling ld clthing that has grayed r faded ver time t the vibrant and lng--lasting dyeing results, plant dyeing feels like a quiet act f rebellin. This is why, while beginners start with simply changing their clthes' clr, new wrlds pen. Many f tday's natural dyers grw their wn dye plants, run lcal cmmunity wrkshps, and advcate fr change in industrialized fashin systems and beynd.
32. What is the main reasn fr the grwing discmfrt mentined in paragraph 2?
A. The adptin f petrchemical-based dyes.
B. The challenging net zer targets t be achieved.
C. The fashin industry's fcus n luxurius designs.
D. The disturbing cnsequences f the fashin industry.
33. The authr illustrates "Fashin is a huge plluter" by ______.
A. making a cmparisn. B. giving examples.
C. listing numbers. D. intrducing a new tpic.
34. What des the underlined phrase "a quiet act f rebellin" in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. A prtest against turning t natural fiber
B. An bjectin t upcycling ld clthing
C. A struggle fr a sustainable fashin industry
D. A resistance t vibrant clrs in natura! dyeing
35. What wuld be the mst suitable title fr the passage?

Lily was renwned fr her desire t achieve perfectin in everything she undertk. Whether it was schl prjects, art assignments, r even helping her parents with husehld chres, Lily's cmmitment t excellence was unwavering.
One sunny summer day, Lily's family decided t spend a day at the beach. As they arrived, Lily's eyes were immediately drawn by a grup f children wh playfully built and then tre dwn their sandcastles. They giggled and shuted, their excitement n full display. "Hw silly, " she thught, nt quite getting why they enjyed ding that.
Lily, being herself, decided t build a perfect sandcastle that wuld becme the envy f all beachgers. She began t plan every detail in her mind, frm the balanced structures f the twers t the delicate decratins. Then, she set abut piling sand t make the twers and walls f her sandcastle. Painstakingly, she crafted each feature f her wrk, carefully smthed the surfaces and adjusting every detail t her visin.
Jake, Lily's yunger brther, didn't seem t cncerned with building a fantastic sandcastle. He picked a spt nearby and amused himself with the sand. He scped up handfuls f sand, let it slip thrugh his fingers like grains f time, and then mlded it int careless shapes with the carefree abandn f a child. Jake's happiness was cntagius.

Hwever, the prcess didn't g as smthly as she had anticipated. The sand didn't always hld its shape, and the waves cnstantly lapped at the edges f her creatin.

Dear Editr,
I'm nw a pstgraduate student and have studied at tp universities, but am trubled that my life chices are cnditined by a need t prve myself, pssibly resulting frm a deep-rted sense f insecurity. At schl, I based my self-wrth n academic success. I care excessively （过度地） abut what impressin I'm making and can't bear the thught f displeasing peple. Hw can I stp caring what ther peple think?
Mr. Perfect
Dear Mr. Perfect,
Yu are living yur life by externally referencing. This means yur actins are guided by what yu imagine ther peple think f yu. Yur challenge is t becme mre internally referenced, which means yu can make chices guided by the experience f hw things feel t yu. G with what feels gd, nt with what yu think wuld lk gd t thers.
Yu dn't need t impress anyne. Yu are gd enugh exactly as yu are. We are nt necessarily accepted by peple because we impress them and, in fact, if we try t hard t d that, we are mre likely t be rejected. Yu dn't have t say "tp" university, yu can be prud f what yu have achieved, but withut being cmpetitive.
We d care abut what peple think abut us. We want friendly clleagues and clse friends-it matters. Peple will want t be arund yu because they feel seen by yu and yu can get n each ther's wavelengths, nt because yu are impressive. S let g f impressing and think mre abut relating. Wrthiness is nt abut being a tp academic, it is abut being a caring, curius human being.
Philippa
