问题 What is the passage mainly about?
  
A used book or nearly-new kitchen tool may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but(7)hard economic times and a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France. French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for "green" gifting at Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to meet their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm. The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items, making France a pioneer in the trend. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are flourishing in France, with many reporting a rise in business.(8)A study by online survey firm showed eight out of ten people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and(9)that younger consumers were more open to the idea. But environmental concerns are not the first consideration when buying used goods. The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price. Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.(10)The movie tickets and other low-carbon gifts are popular, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff.

选项 A、exchange used items as gifts
B、purchase low-carbon gifts
C、contribute to collect used items
D、replace stuff gifts with time and services
