　　She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open­mouthed, and remained standing to the end.

　　After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you.No one is laughing now.

　　Ⅲ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题。 [1]You already recycle and shut off the water when you're brushing your teeth. What more can the average person do to give the environment a boost? Buy green products.

　　[2]It's not just a trend any more, but that doesn't mean that “going green” should keep you from your own style. In fact as people become more environmentally conscious, turning your own style green is easier. Looking out for the environment when you're shopping for your personal needs makes you look good and feel good. And it should, because you can improve the environment in a variety of ways.

　　What's Good for the Earth is Good for You

　　[3]There are obvious benefits of seeking out environmentally friendly goods. They're made with natural materials like organic cotton, bamboo, or recycled plastics. They might save precious resources by using a natural resource in place of the typical or more readily available source, like using

　　recycled plastic instead of leather for a handbag.

　　[4]Fewer chemicals are used to make these products—and even if chemicals are used they are most likely recycled in order to cut down on waste. Handmade products are in abundance, and many times they're made according to the fair trade standards. Some companies run all their manufacturing equipment on wind or solar power. Guilt­free production for guilt­free shopping! Moreover, people who are allergic(过敏)to processed materials, like manufactured cotton or synthetic dyes, can rely on green goods to be gentler towards their sensitivities.

　　Renewable Goods, Endless Benefits

　　[5]Really, the benefits of buying green can't be listed conclusively. That's because all people are bound to find something that's great about it. It could be organic materials that don't irritate your sensitive skin or the breathable and antimicrobial nature of bamboo socks that keep your feet dry and odor free. ________， when you buy green you're making the world better for others, not just you. Shopping just became a lot less materialistic.

　　20．What does the passage mainly tell about? (no more than 10 words)

　　21．What should manufacturers do to give the environment a boost? (no more than 3 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　22．What are the benefits of using green products? (no more than 30 words)
