VII. Read the passage and and complete the summary below with no more than two words for each blank.
Branding has played a large part in consumer behaviour for many years. Why is wearing someone else’s brand so important to our society, instead of deciding on our own what is good taste and what is not?
First, wearing branded clothes can tell others where we are on the economic scale. There is a certain order in society and wearing branded products tells those we meet that we are in a lower group, the same group or a higher socioeconomic group than they are, depending on the prestige and price of the items worn.
Second, there is, of course, a sense of pride in ownership. Everyone wants to own beautiful and well-made things, and branded products tend to be of high quality. Each time you shut the car door and hear that classic “thud”, it tells you that you have purchased a well-made machine. Every morning when you get up and slip that gold watch over your hand, you take a moment just to appreciate its art.
Finally, branding lets you free from worries. When a man goes shopping for his wife and he knows she likes a certain brand, he doesn’t have to think any further than the brand name. Anything that has that particular name on it will please his wife. Individuals no longer think about what is good design or bad; if it has some well-advertised name on it, it must be good. If there is something wrong with the products, we can easily ask for a refund.
Branded products have played an important part in our society. First, we can tell others where we are on the (31) __________ when we wear branded clothes. This often depends on the prestige and the price of the things we wear. Second, these products can give us a sense of (32) _________ in ownership. This is because branded merchandise is often well-made and of high (33) __________. Finally, branding frees you from (34) __________. For example, when a man wants to give his wife a present, anything with a name on it is likely to please her. In case there is a defect in the product purchased, people can demand a (35) __________

How to buy clothes responsibly?
When you buy clothes, there are four ways that you should consider to become a responsible buyer.
A. Shop locally. You may have to pay a bit more for local brands but it’s good to support local producers. Although famous branded products which are sold in international chain stores are often cheaper, the workers that made these products typically work in poor working conditions and are paid low salaries. You should avoid these brands.
B. Make a list. When you go shopping, try not to buy unnecessary clothes by making a list of things that you really need. When you feel like buying another T-shirt, pause before taking out your wallet and look at your list. If it’s not on the list, don’t buy it. Or you can tell the shop assistant to put it away for you.
C. Choose natural materials. Nylon or polyester fabrics will harm the environment. You can choose to buy clothes that are made from natural material like wool instead. Besides, you should also look for brands that use recycled products.
D. Go for second-hand goods. If you shop in a charity shop, not only can you conserve the environment, but you’ll get something original, unlike other products that are mostly seen in chain stores.
26. Local brands may be more expensive than products that are in international chain stores.

No more plastic bags
In 2011 a new law, the first of its kind in the UK, was passed in Wales. Shops were no longer allowed to give away free plastic bags to their customers. Instead, they had to charge a tax of 5p per bag, which was collected and given to charity. The results were amazing – within a year, the demand for supermarket bags fell by about ninety-six percent. The extra charge was enough to make Welsh shoppers change their habits and remember to take their own bags whenever they went shopping.
The tax was the result of a huge campaign, which was supported by a national newspaper, the Daily Mail, as well as various politicians and green campaigners. It is increasingly popular too. When it was introduced, it was supported by about fifty-nine percent of the Welsh population, but after only six months the figure was seventy percent.
There is no doubt that plastic bags are bad news for the environment. Every year in the UK about eighteen billion (18,000,000,000) plastic bags are given away by supermarkets – that’s about 290 bags per person. Most of them end up in landfill sites, where they remain for hundreds of years, polluting the environment. Wildlife is affected too. For example, every year a million seabirds die when they mistake bags floating on the sea for food.
All this is bad enough, but plastic bags damage the environment in other ways too. Before they reach the shops, they have already travelled thousands of miles – most of them are made in China or India and then shipped to countries in Europe, including the UK. Then, when they have been used (for an average of twenty minutes each) and thrown away, they are often shipped back again, because we are running out of space here.
The solution to this problem is obvious – stop producing so many plastic bags, and stop giving them away – but shoppers in the UK have been very slow to change their ways. However, the success of the Welsh tax shows that it is possible to change people’s shopping habits. According to researchers from Cardiff University, part of the reason for the popularity of the tax is that the money goes to charity, not the government. Certainly, hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised since the tax was introduced. The money has gone to a variety of good causes, including local children’s charities and the RSPB (the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds).
It is safe to conclude that the plastic bag tax has brought positive change to Wales.
