Last winter it unveiled a bra that can be heated in a microwave so as to help save on indoor heating costs. 内衣制造商黛安芬公司为了提高自身的知名度和公众形象,常会设计出一些具有“社会效应”的内衣。去 年冬天,黛安芬公司为了响应日本政府的节能计划,就推出了一款可以用微波炉加热的文胸 ,从而减少室内 供暖的成本。 The "Bra Rangers" -- named after the television characters that morph into superheroes -- come with matching underwear whose pocket has the inscribed message, "No more plastic bags!" 新推出的这款名叫 Bra Rangers 的内衣得名于电视剧中的变形超人,与其配套的内裤口袋里还绣有"别用 塑料袋!"的字样。 The bra-turned-bag is made of polyester fiber created through recycling.

Shopping places(高职高专版英语 1 Unit 10 Passage A) In the United States, people choose different shopping places according to their economic conditions. Rich people often go to large shopping centers. But many people usually shop at discount stores, thrift shops or supermarkets because things at these stores are not as expensive. The prices are more reasonable. Some people prefer to buy second-hand furniture or other household items, because they are still in good condition and the prices are quite cheap. Many stores will have various items on sale during holiday seasons. The prices may be reduced from 10% up to 50% off the original prices, so shopping during holiday seasons may be a good idea.
