Protesters with the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street movement were encouraging people to take part in “Buy Nothing Day“, a day of protest against consumerism observed worldwide. （分数：30.00）_正确答案：()解析：The day after Thanksgiving Days, which i
44、s also called the Black Friday, has became American shoppers“ “holiday“. It has became a tradition that every Friday after Thanksgiving is the shopping day, and dealers put most of their goods on sale and all markets compete on price on this day. Shoppers are crazy for the goods with ever lowest pri
45、ce. But the low price may cause crowed, pushing, and looting in the shops. However, there are some people who do not agree with this price-competitive phenomenon. They hold that people should not be encouraged in large consumption. The anti-capitalists are promoting people to take part in “Buy Nothing Day,“ In my opinion, we should develop the awareness of appropriate consumption. What we really need is what we need to buy.
