I. What is happening to the landscape of the traditional British high street these days? As more and more retail outlets are moving to the out-of-town shopping malls gaps are left in our once thriving streets. It's a sad sight to see boarded up shop fronts where grocers, butchers, hardware merchants and bakers once thrived. But hang on a moment, what is this that I see moving in to take their place? Charity Shops!
II. In my very own pleasant middle class suburb, in recent years we have said good bye to an excellent confectionary only to say hello to some brand new research centre, and watch as a butcher metamorphosed into a 'Help the Aged' shop.
III. Can this be a good thing, our local necessities being replaced by do-gooders? Well in some ways yes because charity shops fulfill two very important needs in modern society. As the economy booms, house prices soar and people get rich they need to throw out their old stuff and replace it with something new. But as society gets polarized, some people get poorer and they need to stretch their limited budgets and buy the second-hand goods that others have disposed of and this is where charity shops come in.
IV. Let's say you are a poor student, you have little money but need a new outfit to attract a new boy or girlfriend at the Student Union party that you are going to at the weekend. All you need to do is pop along to your local charity shop and buy, for just a few pounds, that fancy accessory that somebody else has become bored with. All this can be done at a fraction of the price of a new item and will often be of a better quality.
V. What if you are no longer a poor student but have some money and have moved into a new flat? Do you really want all that old rubbish that you have accumulated over the years? No of course not but somebody might and it's not that bad. Why not take it round to the charity shop and get rid of it. You feel virtuous for giving to others and you get rid of unwanted things at the same time!
A41. The main idea of the article is that charity shops
1) are not a novel thing in city streets.
2) are destroying traditional looks of city streets.
3) are playing an important role in the society.
A42. The author implies that in recent years
1) city streets have changed their looks greatly.
2) charity shops have disappeared from city streets.
3) shopping has become a more complicated affair.
Л 43. One can make a conclusion that
1) fewer people are doing shopping these days.
2) expensive shops are not for everybody.
3) more customers prefer huge supermarkets.
A44. According to the author, buying at charity shops is
1) time-consuming.
2) less expensive.
3) not fashionable.
A45. In the author's view, donating to charity can help one feel that s/he is
