Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with.Lately，it's all about environment-friendly materials — recycled tires，mushrooms，even pineapple fibers!What if you want such a pair of shoes？Thaely is here to help.
   This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution.Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave，they may have found a winning approach：making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. "Thaely" means "plastic bag" in the Hindi language.
   "I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment，" Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. "I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste." Plastic bags were the perfect solution.He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. "I was motivated to find a solution to this problem，" Bhave said.
   That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex.Made entirely from plastic bags，the material looks and feels like leather.That sounds promising.Better yet，the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products.The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.
   Bhave wouldn't expose the full process for making ThaelyTex，but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles.Where do they get the materials？Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. "The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags."
   Finally，they got help from TrioTap Technologies，a waste management plant.Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
   So far，it seems like things are falling into place.There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place.It sounds like they have some plans for the future. "We have a few more colors coming up，" said Bhave.They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing.Let's hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.

1．    Forecasters say Floridians should monitor a system likely to become a tropical depression（熱帶低壓）as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.
   The area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea was producing showers and thunderstorms，according to a Friday evening update from the National Hurricane Center.Condition s favor slow development over the next several days，and forecasters expect the system will become a tropical depression early next week while moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
   Michael Brennan，the National Hurricane Center director，said in a live video Friday， "There is a lot of uncertainty with this system since it's yet to take shape.What we're most confident in is that there will likely be some rainfall impacts across much of the Florida Peninsula and possibly up along the southeast coast of the United States."
   The potential threat for Florida would come around on Tuesday，said Brian McNoldy，a researcher at the University of Miami.McNoldy added that global models were in agreement that the system would develop slowly.The hurricane center on Friday gave the system the temporary name of Invest 93 L，meaning forecasters would collect specialized data and run more models.
   According to Mark Luther，a professor at the University of South Florida，tropical systems like to feed off that hot water，especially when it's hot below the surface like it is now. "Keep a sharp eye on it and have your hurricane plan in place，" Luther said. "Even if it's a small storm，if it hits at the right angle，it can cause flooding around here."
   Storms that cross through this steamy section of the eastern Gulf of Mexico have historically intensified（增強(qiáng)）quickly.Hurricane Michael in 2018 emerged off the Yucatán Peninsula before ultimately making landfall as a Category 5 storm in Florida's Panhandle.

（1）What did Brennan think would most likely happen next week？

A．Water shortage.
B．Severe damage.
C．Fine weather.
D．Heavy rainfall.
（2）What did Luther probably expect people to do？

A．Ask for clear guidance.
B．Be watchful about possible disasters.
C．Make a quick decision.
D．Send relief to flood victims at once.
（3）Why does the author mention Hurricane Michael？

A．To express his heartfelt thanks for the rescue effort.
B．To erase scientists' doubts about these global models.
C．To prove the weather forecast is timely and accurate.
D．To explain the tropical system may bring heavy storm.
（4）What is the text？

A．A news report.
B．A diary entry.
C．A children's story.
D．A research paper.
