(I): And is there any kind of rule of thumb? Is something that’s more expensive, for example, likely to be more ethical?
(L): Unfortunately it isn’t always the case that the more expensive something is, the more ethical it is. We can buy very cheap products and it’s very likely that when products are cheap, something has suffered in order to get it to us. Whether it’s the person making it or the animals or the environment. Quality, however, is often a good indicator whether something, especially with clothes, has been made well. And unfortunately a lot of ethical products will cost more because they reflect the real cost of bringing that thing into the shops. So something that has been made in a factory where the workers have been paid a proper wage will cost you more to buy, simply because the people making it are getting paid enough to live on.
(I): Do you have to be well off then to be an ethical shopper?
(L): It really depends. You don’t have to be rich to be an ethical shopper. One way of thinking about ethical shopping is thinking about buying less. Sometimes we buy an awful lot more than we need. We buy more items of clothing than we need. So being an ethical shopper really means thinking a bit before you go and spend your money in the shops. Some things may cost a little bit more in the short-run, but be worth it in the long-run. If you are paying for quality, something will last you longer and then save you money. And sometimes you can buy things second-hand. There are a lot of charity shops on the high street to buy good clothes. Sometimes you can look a lot better than someone who’s just bought off the high street because you can have quite a unique look, and the quality that you find in most second-hand shops is really very good these days. So it’s about thinking before you shop.
(I): Thanks James. Do you think your ideas are popular among the shoppers now?
(L): I am afraid not. When people buy clothes they wouldn’t want to think of them being made in a sweat shop. But I suppose more start to think about shopping ethically. For example, more youngsters want an ethical buy, but their original thing for that might be that they like to wear clothes which are totally different from everyone else. So they would start shopping for vintage clothes. Obviously some of them would be second-hand. They might buy a lot of clothes from market stalls, from fashion students maybe. Anyhow, I am sure ethical shopping will be popular with consumers and one day, it might appear as appealing as the latest fashion.
(I): It sounds good and I’ll certainly be doing my clothes shopping with a little bit more care in future. Thank you, James, for all the useful information and valuable advice you have given us.
(L): My pleasure.

解析
推断题。James给大家的建议就是要成为一个有道德的消费者并不一定需要多么富有,关键是要做到理性购物,少购物或者可以适当购买合适的旧物:You don’t have to be rich to be an ethical shopper.One way of thinking about ethical shopping is thinking about buying less...So being an ethical shopper really means thinking a bit before you go and spend your money in the shops.Some things may cost a little bit more in the short-run,but be worth it in the long.run…And sometimes you can buy things second-hand…这里的主要干扰项是C,但选项中的everything一词过于极端,因此排除此选项,所以答案为D。
