In the end, the sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to prison (监狱) in Nottingham. They tied him with rope and put him in a cell (牢房). The cell was at the top of a tall tower.
During the night, Robin was able to untie the rope. There was a small window in the tower. Robin tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of the cell. He tied the other end to himself.

Environmentalists (环保人士) are getting more worried about the effects of fast fashion on the environment. Fast fashion is the production of clothes in a large number at a low cost. They are put in shops and online stores quickly to create a high demand. Manufacturers (制造商) make 100 billion all kinds of clothes every year. This is expected to grow 60 per cent by 2030.
The fast fashion business model is having a negative effect on the environment. Many of the clothes end up in dustbins and are not recycled. Another negative effect on the environment is caused by the chemicals used to make the clothes. These cause health problems to people working in clothes factories. It is reported that children make many of these clothes.
The way people are buying clothes is adding to the problem of clothing waste. Many years ago, people went to stores and tried clothes on. People took more time and thought more carefully before they bought clothes. They also wore them longer. Today, people order cheap clothes on the Internet and if they don’t like them, they send them back. Some people say this is causing a throwaway (用完即弃的) society. Some people buy clothes and never even wear them. The German media company Deutsche Welle wrote, “Every year in Europe, four million tons of clothing ends up in dustbins. Less than one per cent of this is recycled.”
It seems the fashion industry is not so sustainable (可持续的).
（ ）38. What’s the writer’s feeling about the fast fashion
A Worried. B. Uninterested. C. Surprised. D. Pleased.
（ ）39. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. Many people like to buy cheap clothes on the Internet.
B. Clothes in stores are much better than those on the Internet.
C. Online shopping is causing more and more clothing waste.
D. People in Europe waste lots of clothes every year.
（ ）40. What’s the best title for the text
A. The Meaning of Fast Fashion B. The Influences of Fast Fashion
C. Problems with Fast Fashion D. Health problems with Fast Fashion

“Dream of Winter, Love among Asia”, a short track speed (短道速滑) skater and two tigers... The slogan (口号), the emblem (会徽) and mascots (吉祥物) for the 9th Asian Winter Games finally came out. Good news! The games will be held in Harbin, Heilongjiang in 2025.
The emblem looks like the Chinese character “九”. That means the 9th Asian Winter Games. It also looks like the Chinese character “合”. It describes Chinese people’s wish to get together with friends from other Asian countries. It also shows the beauty of Chinese characters to the world.
In the emblem, the short track speed skater represents the sports spirit of the players across Asia. The lilac, the flower of Harbin, symbolizes (象征) Harbin’s city culture of warm heartedness (热心). And the red sun represents the wish of Asian countries to go after progress and peace. The emblem allows people to easily see the time and place of the sports event.
The idea of the two mascots, Binbin and Nini, came from two lovely Siberian (西伯利亚的) tiger cubs (幼兽) born in Harbin in September 2023. The word “bin” is part of the name of the city. Harbin, and “ni” shares the same pronunciation as “you” in Chinese. The two names show the meaning of the words “Harbin welcomes you”.

Last summer holiday, I took a trip to Yunnan with my family. Yunnan is in the southwestern part of our country. It’s a good place with beautiful mountains, clean rivers and kind people. Trees and flowers could be seen everywhere. The fruits there were very fresh. We stayed there for about one week. We went to Kunming, Dali and the Old Town of Lijiang. We enjoyed the local food. We also went to climb the mountains and took many photos. We all had a good time. Although it was a bit tiring, I still think it was the most unforgettable experience.
When we travel somewhere, we should pay attention to the local weather. We also need to bring some common medicines.
