space on the shelves，and that drink is water.bottled water sales in the us rose to 1.7 billion gallons in 2010 for plastic bottles alone，compared to total sales of only 700 million gallons in 1990.whereas bottled water was once associated only with the rich and the privileged (特权阶层)，it is now regularly drunk by people at all income levels despite the fact that the price of bottled water can be between 240 and 10,000 times higher per gallon than tap water.what accounts for this surprising increase in demand?traditionally，people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.the practice of “taking the waters” originated with the romans，who believed that a person developed a healthy mind by building a healthy body.across europe，drinking or bathing in mineral water has been associated with the power to cure various diseases.health spas at evian in france and pellegrino in italy began bottling water so that their consumers could continue their treatments at home.the consumers in the 21st century are also concerned about health.however，in america，where the habit of drinking bottled water is relatively new，the concern is often more related to the purity or sterilization (消毒) of the water than to its mineral contents.americans are often worried about the effects of the chemical pollution and other contaminants on the water supply.many americans view bottled water as a safe alternative to tap water.further reasons for drinking bottled water are its usefulness as an aid to digestion，as a complement to a good meal in a restaurant，and for taste.city tap water is often treated with chlorine (氯) to guard against harmful microorganisms.chlorine，as well as metals from pipes and tanks used to distribute and store tap water，can leave behind an unpleasant taste.【语篇解读】本文从两个方面分析了瓶装水销量提高的原因。1which of the following statements is true?abottled water was once drunk both by the rich and the poor.bbottled water sales have risen，for its cheaper than tap

demand？”是一个承上启下的句子，下面两段都在讲瓶装水销量上涨的原因。答案dbfor anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.the real test is whether they can survive，and become established during their early 20s，making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.fashion is a hard business.there is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next seasons collections.it is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.it also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“we try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says lydia kemeny，head of fashion at st.martins school of art in london.“and we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”this may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.that may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college wont be slow in introducing students to commercial realities，“we dont walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”almost all fashion design is done to a brief.it is not a form of selfexpression as such，although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.they also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.【语篇解读】成为时尚设计师并不是件容易的事。仅仅在大学校园里获取学业的成功是不够的，时尚在不断变化，商业技巧和天赋、创造性同样重要。 5which of the following is mainly discussed
