问题     Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
    However, today more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?  ....  Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
    A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make ad sell their products to make sure that they are "green", that is, friendly to the environment.
    Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing(生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
    The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use, it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure it on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
选项 A、public caring for the environment
B、companies desire for bigger sales
C、new ways of doing business
D、rapid growth of supermarkets
答案A
解析 第二段大意为：然而，时至今日，越来越多的消费者选择“绿色的”，要求他们购买的商品对环境无害，在购买商品前，他们全问诸如此类的问题……由此可以推断出他们关注环境。故本题答案为A。
