Sarah Beatty: At the Forefront of Green Living
Green living marketplace is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic sectors today.
The eco-friendly or green lifestyle is being embraced by more and more consumers, from personal care products to automobiles to home building and decor and other aspects of living.
Sarah Beatty is one of the women at the forefront of the green living movement. She founded Green Depot in November 2005, the largest supplier of environment-friendly building materials on the east coast.
How did she start her business? In an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, she related:
A week before I was due to deliver my first child, my husband and I discovered mold contamination in our newly remodelled home and were told our home may not be a safe living environment. I was shocked — and hormonal!
At the time there were not many resources for information or nontoxic products out there.
My husband owns a traditional building supply company and I had just left my job in TV production, so I suggested we start a satellite business, which ultimately became Green Depot.
Since its founding, Sarah’s company Green Depot now has stores in Boston, Brooklyn, Newark, Philadelphia with the Manhattan store soon to be com Dieted.
Her success is an example that great business ideas can come from ordinary problems in our everyday life.
Sarah Beatty is the initiator of the green living movement.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Doesn’t say
答案
C
解析
该题干的改写是对信息点中关键词词义范围的缩小。文中信息点2指出:Sarah Beatty是处于绿色生活运动前沿的女士之一。而题干意为:SarahBeatty是绿色生活运动的发起者。“处于前沿”的意思可以指是该运动的提出者、倡导者、支持者、积极投身于这方面的人,文中并没有明确指出Sarah Beatty到底属于其中的哪一类,题干内容在文中没有明确说明,故答案为C。
