(冲动) that didn’t feel like my own. I was labeled a liar.
One day my sisters and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt. We all loved it. She spoiled us with her time. And she was an amazing artist. She had cool pencils, erasers and other supplies that any young girl would love to get her hands on. Then it happened... someone took one of Aunt Kim’s good art erasers and rubbed it across the entire top of the TV. The eraser ruined the shiny finish (覆光膜) on the TV’s casing. All the three of us were called into the TV room and asked to admit. Nobody did! Aunt Kim told us how disappointed she was.
The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents and they were on their way to picking me up. It had to be me! I was the liar. I argued, but no one listened. And then before dinner there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kim was standing there. It turned out my younger sister finally felt guilty! She admitted that she was the one who rubbed the eraser on the TV. I was invited back!

B
There’s been a lot of talk about white and blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular (方言)-green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane, and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead, it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well-educated like a white collar but physically tough like a blue collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5, 000 yuan.
The life of a green collar may go something like this: turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go out on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged.
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it,” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club. 25. What is the text mainly about?
A. The appearance of gold collar workers.
B. The increasing awareness of environmental protection. C. The lifestyle of green collars. D. New trends in big cities of China.
26. Green collars are living green because .
A. they devoted themselves to environmental protection B. they spend a lot of time in the open C. they refuse to live an unhealthy life D. they have a large income
27. Which of the following best describes Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?
A. Scolding.
B. Appreciative.
C. Doubtful.
D.
Neutrai.
28. “the underprivileged “ in the third paragraph probably refers to those .
