Customer Reviews

1. ★★★★★

My favorite shoes! I’ve been to many conferences where my business fellows have told me how much they like my shoes. Just wearing them makes me feel more calm and content in the office. I recommend them to all of my co- workers, and I own a pair of each color.

2. ★

These are the worst shoes I have ever worn! The leather came off after only one week, and everybody thought they were ugly. The bottom of the shoes made everything slippery. My employer fired me because he hated them! From then on, I will only wear Brand X shoes !

3. ★★★

These shoes do exactly what shoes are supposed to do. There isn’t anything too special about them. In the morning, I put them on and go to work. They look delightful enough , and they are quite durable. I will probably buy another pair.

4. ★★★★

These shoes are my most cherished(珍爱的) possession. I met my bride while buying a pair of these shoes. She was the saleswoman at the store I bought them at , and after she sold me three pairs, I asked her for her phone number and we started dating. Soon after that, we were engaged. We are getting married this afternoon, and I couldn’t be happier.

Ban Fur? Then Why Not Leather?

Much to the displeasure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood, California, voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue? Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (兽皮)?

Animals Do Not Have Rights

By Tibor R. Machan

My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (伦理学) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, they would have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way of thinking about animals makes a category mistake. Using animals, including their fur or organs, to improve people's lives is acceptable.

A Small Step Against Cruelty

By Kate Carter

Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that the lovable furry ones deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones? Some say leather is  less cruel because it's a byproduct (副产品) of the meat industry. But this isn't really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the meat industry, but often it's the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for ostrich(鸵鸟)farms, the skins account for roughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰杀)birds' value, a mere 20 percent of which comes from the meat.

"Who" Are You Wearing?

By Marc Bekoff

West Hollywood's ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to ban the sales of leather and hides, too. Furs come from animals who are attacked to become clothing, while some leather and hides come from slaughterhouse(屠宰场) animals. We must remember that when people choose to wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearing formering conscious beings. So it's a matter of who they are wearing, not what they are wearing because these animals must be referred to as who and not what or that.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. West Hollywood's ban on fur products.

B. Differences between fur and leather sales.

C. The government's role in protecting animals.

D. The ecological imbalance in West Hollywood.

2.Tibor R. Machan seems to believe that________.

A. laws should be passed to protect animals

B. humans are respornsible for killing animals

C. it is not reasonable to use animals to improve life

D. animals and humans aren't supposed to share equal rights

3.What is Kate Carter's opinion about wearing fur and wearing leather?

A. Both are decided by the meat industry.

B. There is little distinction (区别) between them.

C. Wearing fur is generally more acceptable.

D. Wearing leather is cheaper than wearing fur.

4.What is Marc Bekoff’s attitude towards sales of fur?

A. Sympathetic.       B. Careless.         C. Tolerant.         D. Opposed.
