We need to be responsible(有责任心的)for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者)is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?

Use it up

① ____

You do not always need to have new things. Suppose there are holes in your socks. Mend them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest telephone until the old one doesn’t work anymore. Then you get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.

②_________

When something you want is not on hand look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are preparing your lunch for tomorrow and want a better sandwich. However, there is not any butter in your home. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buy something new.

Do without

Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy? Make a list of things that you want. Delete the things that you don’t really need, so you can save a lot of resources(资源).

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是如何做一个节俭的消费者，减少浪费，保护我们的环境。作者给我们提出了很多的建议，如不要浪费、不要总是购买新的东西、用其他东西代替你需要的等等。

1.根据短文中You don’t have to have the latest telephone until the old one doesn’t work anymore可知，为了做一个对我们的环境有责任心的消费者，作者认为，只有我们的旧手机不能再工作的时候，我们才需要换最新的手机。可以根据此处作答，意思对即可。

2.replace替换，是一个动词。这句话中before replacing…是在…之前，连词后跟现在分词形式。something that still works仍然能工作的东西；think twice 三思，仔细考虑。故这句话的意思是：在替换仍然能使用的东西之前，请三思。

3.根据短文中However, there is not any butter in your home. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese可知，当你在家里做三明治没有黄油的时候，你可以用奶酪来代替。

4.根据第三段的段意可知，这里作者告诉我们的是，我们不需要老是换新的东西，旧的东西还可以用的，我们仍然要继续使用，故应选A；根据第四段的意思可知，如果我们手头没有了需要用的东西，我们可以向办法用其他的东西来代替，故应选C。

5.这篇短文主要是告诉我们如何做一个节俭的消费者，这对我们的环境是有好处的，可以减少浪费。故Being a frugal consumer可以用来做这篇短文的题目。其他类似意思的答案也可以，如Be responsible to our environment等。
