18、rn or socialize. Its difficult for kids and teens to _ this dilemma.Inone 2019 study, Taren Sanders, a health scientist at Australian Catholic University in North Sydney, looked at how kids spent their screen time.

26、 But few realize tiny bits of denim have been adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water, as a new study shows.SamAthey, one of the studys authors, says, Even though denim is made of a natural material cotton it contains chemicals. Cotton fibers are treated with many types of chemicals,

27、she notes. Some improve its durability and feel.

An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often. Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after every couple of wearings

31、, but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month. The solution is not that you shouldnt wear jeans, she says. We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it. （1）Why are chemicals used to deal with cotton according to the passage？_A. To lessen

32、it harm.B. To remove its blue color.C. To make it into denim.D. To prevent fibers from falling. （2）What does the underlined word them in Paragraph 3 refer to？_A. Chemicals.B. Microfibers.C.
