Your favorite $20 shirt harbors a startling secret. "When I learned that it takes 2,700 liters of water to
produce a single cotton t-shirt, I couldn't look at my wardrobe the same way," reveals Sarah Martinez, a
former fast-fashion enthusiast turned sustainable style advocate. Her revelation mirrors a growing
consciousness among consumers about the fashion industry's environmental impact.
The numbers paint a sobering picture. The global fashion industry's carbon footprint surpasses that
of international flights and maritime shipping combined. Industry analysts observe a precipitous rise in
what they term "throwaway culture". Their research indicates that while clothing production doubled
between 2000 and 2015, the average number of times a garment gets worn decreased by 36%. These
ephemeral fashion choices accumulate in landfills, where synthetic materials persevere for up to two
centuries before decomposing.
A ray of hope emerges through innovative solutions. "Circular fashion" represents a paradigm shift in
how we conceptualize clothing lifecycles. Under this model, garments are designed for longevity and
biodegradability. The phenomenon of "clothing libraries" has proliferated across urban centers, where
members can borrow high-quality garments instead of purchasing new ones. This system has become
so efficacious that participating consumers report a 70% reduction in new clothing purchases.
The secondhand market is undergoing its own revolution, driven by tech startups' "smart recycling"
initiatives. Modern sorting facilities harness artificial intelligence to identify fabric types, dramatically
streamlining the recycling process. This technological leap has slashed the cost of recycled textiles by 45%
since 2020, prompting major fashion brands to integrate recycled materials into their production lines.
Industry experts now envision a future where sustainable practices become the norm rather than the
exception, reshaping the very foundation of fashion consumption.

Read the following passage about the cancer risk and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 9 to 18.
If cancer is common in your family, it’s normal to feel worried about your own risk. (I) While having
close relatives who’ve had cancer does increase your chances, that doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to
happen. (II) In fact, about 40% of cancers in adults are linked to lifestyle choices that can be changed.
(III) That means your daily habits can have a powerful impact on your long-term health. (IV) This gives
hope—there are things you can do to reduce your risk and take control of your health.
One important step is to learn more about your family’s health history. Try to gather details about
relatives on both sides—parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even cousins. What kind of
cancer did they have? At what age were they diagnosed? If several family members were diagnosed with
cancers like breast, ovarian, or colon cancer before the age of 50, it could point to inherited genetic risks.
Pay attention to patterns, too—for example, if multiple non-smokers in your family developed lung
cancer, that may be a red flag.
Based on your family history, your doctor may recommend genetic testing to assess your personal
cancer risk. They might refer you to a genetic counselor, who can help determine whether you carry
mutations in specific genes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, which are linked to breast and ovarian cancer, or
genes associated with Lynch syndrome, which increases
the risk of colorectal cancer. If you test positive for one of these mutations, your healthcare team may
suggest that you begin cancer screenings at an earlier age, repeat them more frequently, or even consider
preventive measures like surgery. These options are designed to help detect cancer early or prevent it
altogether. Remember, if you do carry a mutation, it
doesn't mean you will definitely develop cancer, but it does mean you’ll need to take a more proactive
approach to monitoring your health.
Lastly, your daily habits matter a lot. Experts agree that quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy
weight, eating a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, staying active, and limiting alcohol can all
help lower your cancer risk. Even if you have a higher genetic risk, these lifestyle choices still make a
big difference. “The more healthy choices you make,

the better,” says Dr. Alison Klein of Johns Hopkins. Taking small steps today could help protect your
health for years to come.
