When you want to buy something, do you buy it new or second-hand? These days, buying second-hand items is becoming more popular.

Second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones, so people can save money．It’s also good for the environment．In 2020, the mass(质量) of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth．So it’s a better choice to reuse old things.

People can even find some “extinct” (绝版的) items, or items that are no longer made．For example, some people like to buy vintage items, including clothes and accessories (饰品)．These items often go back 30 years or even more．But as long as they’re in good condition, people can still use them.

Second-hand items connect people．In this way, they sometimes pass on history and stories．Here are two examples.

Zhao Kaiqi, 22, college student, Harbin, Heilongjiang

I love buying books on Deja Vu, an online second-hand trading site．It’s a good choice for students like me．I can save a lot of money．One time, I found a note in a second -hand book．Its previous (之前的) owner left the note, hoping that I would enjoy the book．It was heartwarming to read．I want to do something like that in the future.

Kate, 25, writer, London, UK

I am a big fan of vintage items．They are special．I like items from the 1950s and 1960s．Vintage items carry stories from the past．Once I bought a bracelet (手链) with the words “Rose” and “Love, Jason” inscribed on it．It made me wonder about_____ ▲_____．I think looking for vintage items is a once-in-a-lifetime experience．It doesn’t matter how rich you are, but whether you can find an item that fits you．It’s an interesting connection.

48．What’s the main purpose of the passage?

A．To encourage people to buy new items.

B．To introduce the second-hand culture.

How did the sea horse get its name? It’s not hard to guess．The top half of the fish looks like a small horse.

Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．There are 32 different kinds of sea horses．Their sizes are quite different from one inch long to about one foot long．Because their fins are small, sea horses swim very slowly．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses．They can also change colours to keep themselves．Sea horses feed on live food, such as tiny shrimps．A sea horse has no teeth, so it eats the shrimp whole.

A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, unlike most kinds of fish．And it’s the male sea horse, not the female, which gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female’s body．But the female places the eggs in the male sea horse’s pouch (育儿袋)．The male carries the eggs for about three weeks until they hatch (孵化).

The number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also, many sea horses are caught and kept in aquariums (水箱) where they can’t live long．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．There it can find a mate and bring new sea horses into the world.

53．Sea horses do the following things except       to keep themselves safe from other fish

A．changing colours        B．changing sizes    C．hiding in plants         D．hiding in grasses

54．Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller?

C．Because they are killed by people for food．   D．Because their food is becoming less and less.

C．Kinds of Sea Horses                             D．All About Sea Horses
