If you think life is wonderful and expect it to stay that way, then you may have a good chance of living to a ripe old a
ge, at least that is what the findings of a new study suggest. That study found that participants who reported the highest lev
els of optimism were far more likely to live to age 85 or 26 .This was compared to those pa
rticipants who reported the lowest levels of optimism. It is 27 that the findings held even
after the researchers considered factors that could 28 the link, including whether participants had he
alth conditions such as heart disease or cancer, or whether they experienced depression. The results add to a growing body
of evidence that certain psychological factors may predict a longer life 29 . For exa
mple, previous studies have found that more optimistic people have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases, and a low
er risk of 30 death. However, the new study appears to be the first to 31
look at the relationship between optimism and longevity. The researchers 32 that the link found in the new stu
dy was not as strong when they factored in the effects of certain health behaviors, including exercise levels, sleep habits an
d diet. This suggests that these behaviors may, at least in part, explain the link. In other words, optimism may

y a 34 , as researchers did not prove for certain that optimism leads to a longer life. Ho
wever, if the findings are true, they suggest that optimism could serve as a psychological 35 that promote
s health and a longer life.
A) affect B) beyond C) conceded D) correlation E) foster F) henceforth G) lofty H) noteworthy
I) plausibly J) premature K) reconciled L) span M) specifically N) spiral O) trait
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains
information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose
a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding
letter on Answer Sheet 2.
No one in fashion is surprised that Burberry burnt £28 million of stock
A) Last week, Burberry’s annual report revealed that £28.6 million worth of stock was burnt last year. The news has l
eft investors and consumers outraged but comes as little surprise to those in the fashion industry.
B) The practice of destroying unsold stock, and even rolls of unused fabric, is commonplace for luxury labels. Becoming
too widely available at a cheaper price through discount stores discourages full-price sales. Sending products for recycling lea
ves them vulnerable to being stolen and sold on the black market. Jasmine Bina, CEO of brand strategy agency Concept Bure
au explains, “Typically, luxury brands rally around exclusivity to protect their business interests, namely intellectual property
and preservation of brand equity(资产).” She stated she had heard rumors of stock burning but not specific cases until this we
ek.
C) Another reason for the commonplace practice is a financial incentive for brands exporting goods to America. United
States Customs states that if imported merchandise is unused and destroyed under their supervision, 99% of the duties, taxe
s or fees paid on the merchandise may be recovered. It is incredibly difficult to calculate how much dead stock currently goes
to waste. While there are incentives to do it, there’s no legal obligation to report it.
D) A source, who chose to remain anonymous, shared her experience working in a Burberry store in New York in Oct
ober 2016. “My job was to toss items in boxes so they could be sent to be burned. It was killing me inside because all that leat
her and fur went to waste and animals had died for nothing. I couldn’t stay there any longer, their business practices threw m
e off the roof.” In May this year, Burberry announced it was taking fur out of its catwalk shows and reviewing its use elsewh
ere in the business. “Even though we asked the management, they refused to give us detailed answers as to why they would d
o this with their collection,” continued the source, who left her role within two weeks. She has since worked with another hig
h-profile, luxury label.
E) In an online forum post, which asked if it’s true that Louis Vuitton burned its bags, Ahmed Bouchfaa, who claimed to
work for Louis Vuitton, responded that the brand holds sales of old stock for staff members twice a year. Items which have sti
ll not sold after several sales are destroyed. “Louis Vuitton doesn’t have public sales. They either sell a product at a given pric
e or discontinue it. This is to make sure that everybody pays the same price for an item ,” he says. He goes on to disclose the s
trict guidelines around the employee sales: “You may buy gifts for someone, but they track each item, and if your gift ends up
online they know who to ask.” One investor commenting on the Burberry figures was reportedly outraged that the unsold goo
ds were not even offered to investors before they were destroyed.
F) Richemont, who owns several luxury brands, hit the headlines in May for taking back £437 million of watches for de
struction in the last two years to avoid marked-down prices. It’s not just luxury brands either. In October last year, a Danish T
V show exposed H&M for burning 12 tonnes of unsold clothing since 2013. In a statement, the high street retailer defended it
self by saying that the burnt clothing had failed safety tests: “The products to which the media are referring have been tested
in external laboratories. The test results show that one of the products is mold infested and the other product contains levels o
f lead that are too high. Those products have rightly been stopped in accordance with our safety routines.” In March, a report
revealed that H&M was struggling with $4.3 billion worth of unsold stock. The brand told The New York Times that the plan
was to reduce prices to move the stock, arguably encouraging consumers to buy and throw away with little thought.
G) Over-production is perhaps the biggest concern for Burberry. While there has been much outrage at the elitist conn
otation of burning goods rather than making them affordable, executives at the British fashion house are no doubt struggling t
o defend how they miscalculated production. The waste has been put down to burning old cosmetic stock to make way for the
ir new beauty range. However, while the value of destroyed stock is up from £26.9 million last year, it’s an even more signific
ant increase from 2016’s figure of £18.8 million, highlighting that this is an ongoing issue.
H) In September 2016, Burberry switched to a “see now, buy now” catwalk show format. The move was a switch to le
verage on the coverage of their fashion week show to make stock available immediately to consumers. This is opposed to the
traditional format of presenting to the industry, taking orders for production and becoming available in six months, time. Whil
e Burberry announced “record-breaking” online reach and engagement, there has been little evidence to suggest that the strat
egy has had a significant effect on sales, particularly as the hype(炒作)slows across the season. In February they made adjust
ments to the format, dropping some catwalk items immediately and promising that others would launch in the coming month
s.
I) In a statement, Burberry denied that switching to “see now, buy now” has had an impact on waste. A Burberry spokes
person further said, “On the occasions when disposal of products is necessary, we do so in a responsible manner. We are alwa
ys seeking ways to reduce and revalue our waste. This is a core part of our strategy and we have forged partnerships and com
mitted support to innovative organizations to help reach this goal.”
J) One such partnership is with Elvis & Kresse, an accessories brand working with reclaimed materials. Co-founder Kre
sse Wesling said, “Late last year we launched an ambitious five-year partnership with the Burberry Foundation. The main aim
