• 2．"Clothes Swapping（交换）" has become an increasingly popular activity for women in the United States．The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return．
     Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield，Virginia．It was the largest crowd ever for the area's popular clothing-swapping group．
     Daphne Steinberg was having a good day． "For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT，Ann Taylor is a really nice women's designer and I will totally wear this to work．So I love that，I love that I can equip myself for work，have a good time in doing it，not totally bankrupt myself．"
     Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away． "Because it helps to keep the Earth green．There's no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what's already here．Give it a new home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love．"
     Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield．She also organized a money-raising activity for the high school's debate team．It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes．Another is by donating all of the "un-swapped" clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence．
     "I started doing this four years ago，and we've been doing it for four years，getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap．"
     She used the social media website meetup．com to help publicize the events．The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1，300．Mrs．Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules．But she say competition for desirable fashion can be strong．
     "We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over（徘徊于、停留于） the new people coming in with their clothing．As they put it out，some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all．We try to avoid that as much as possible．"

• 3．In the mid-1990s，Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.He left after seven months，physically broken and having lost his mind.A few years later，still attracted to the country，he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
     His visit，however，ended up involving a lot more than that.Hence this book，Chasing the Sea：Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia，which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan，where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea.It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land，and of the people he meets on his way：Rustam，his translator，a lovely24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California，Oleg and Natasha，his hosts in Tashkent，and a string of foreign aid workers.
     This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan，made of friendliness and warmth，but also its darker side of society.In Samarkand，Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders，while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealjye.aig.In Ferghana，he attends a mountain funeral（葬礼followed by a strange drinking party.And in Karakalpakstan，he is saddened by the dust storms，diseasesand fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
     Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references，making his tale a well-roundedpicture of Uzbekistan，seen from Western eyes.His judgment and references are decidedly American，aswell as his delicate stomach.As the author explains，this is neither a travel nor a history book，or evena piece of reportage.Whatever it is，the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
