PART ONE: READING AND INTERPRETING (15pts)

Read the text carefully then do the activities.

Some people may feel upset that shops during
this holiday season failed to meet their expectations. Not Bill Talent,
a New York priest, who has been going on the streets of the city
exhorting people to resist the temptation to shop and the demon of
consumerism.

Shoppers, he believes, have little regard for how or where or by whom
the products are made. They have almost no resistance to the media
messages that encourage them, around the clock, to want things and buy
them. He sees a population lost in consumption, and the meaning of
individual life vanished in a fog of wanting, buying and owning too
many things.

‘Consumerism is a dull way of life,’ he says. ‘That’s why I am trying
to stop this frenzy and the buy-nothing-day is meant to reduce its
intensity.’

It is not that Bill Talent thinks that no one should ever buy anything.
On a recent afternoon, he was seen purchasing a ream of printer paper
and other goods. It is the futility of shopping he is trying to address
– the futility of leaning too heavily on the material at the expense of
the spiritual and emotional. He wants to help awaken desensitized
shoppers because they are underestimating the complexity and the beauty
of life beyond the frustration of the feeling that they are poor or
have little or not enough possessions.
