23、I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday. My sister left her jacket on a chair while we talked to some friends. When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there. She had some money in her hand. When she saw us, she stood up and walked away.

24、   When you want to buy something, which would you like to buy, new or second– hand?

More and more people like to buy second-hand items. People can s 【1】 money because second-hand items are much cheaper than new ones. Buying second- hand items is also good for the e 【2】 . It’s reported that in 2020, the mass (质量)of all man-made materials became greater than that of every living thing on Earth. So it’s better to reuse old things i 【3】 of making new things.

“I love buying books on Déjà vu, an online second-hand bookstore. It’s good for students l 【4】 me,” said Zhao Kaiqi, a 22-year-old college student from Harbin, Heilongjiang. “It also b 【5】 me interesting experiences that I don’t have when I buy new books. One time, I found a note in a second-hand book. Its previous (之前的) owner left the note and h 【6】 that I would enjoy reading the book. It was heartwarming to read.”

People can even find some items that are not made any more. For e 【7】 , some people like to buy vintage (复古) items. These items often go back 30 years or even more. But if they’re in good c 【8】, people can still use them.

Once I bought a bracelet (手链) with the words ‘Rose’ and ‘Love, Jason’ on it. It made me wonder about the story behind the bracelet. I think l 【10】 for vintage items is a once-in-a- lifetime experience. It doesn’t matter how rich you are, but whether you can find an item that fits you.”

What kind of second-hand things would you like to buy?
