先听一遍

听听补充装给顾客多了什么选择，却没有消除什么。

展开英文短文，再悬停查词

A small store near the station opened a refill station for soap. Customers could bring a clean bottle and buy only the amount they needed. I liked the idea, but I had forgotten my bottle.

The owner showed me a shelf of bottles that people had returned. “You can use one of these after we wash it,” she said. I also read the label carefully because some soaps are made for different uses.

At home, I wrote “bring the bottle” on our shopping list. The refill station did not make every package disappear. The store still received soap in larger containers. But it gave us another choice and made me notice how often I bought a new bottle without thinking.

读懂了什么？

读完后，试着用一句话说出本文的主要意思，并从原文找出支持它的一句话。

查看中文译文

车站附近的一家小店设了肥皂补充装柜台。顾客可以自带干净瓶子，只买需要的量。我喜欢这个主意，却忘了带瓶子。

店主指给我看一排别人送回来的旧瓶子。‘洗干净后，你可以用这里的。’她说。我还仔细读了标签，因为不同肥皂有不同用途。

回家后，我在购物清单上写下‘带瓶子’。补充装柜台并没有让所有包装消失：店里仍会用较大的容器进货。但它给了我们另一种选择，也让我意识到，自己以前常常想都没想就买一个新瓶子。
