Yet in 2017, veganism was described as “the fastest growing lifestyle movement” in the UK, according to BBC news. A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous decade, an increase of 360%. And the main force behind this increase was those aged 1534 years old — 42% of recent vegans fall under that age range. So why exactly has veganism bee so popular among young Brits? One reason could be that many young people want to protect the environment, as less meat consumption is known to be beneficial to the environment. Global meat manufacturing is believed to cause 18% of the world39。s greenhouse gas emissions（排放）, even more than that of all the world39。s cars, trains and planes bined. Another reason is that many of today39。s young people believe that it39。s wrong to kill animals to be used as food. Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said that he chose to bee vegan after realizing that eating animals is a choice that people make, rather than something that we need to do to survive. “Being vegan was an ethical (道德的) decision,” he told the Guardian. Social media is also believed to have given rise to the increase in veganism. Platforms such as Facebook allow young vegans to connect with each other much easier, while others such as Instagram have led to the creation of “vegan celebrities (名人)”, who share lips on vegan lifestyles. Despite the rising of veganism, Laura Wyness, an expert in diet and nutrition, said that meat is very important for people39。s health. “A strict vegan diet makes it difficult to get some minerals and vitamins that your body needs,” Wyness told BBC news. However, the popularity of veganism doesn39。t seem to be fading. “It feels more like this is something that is sticking.” said an expert of the Vegan Society, a UK charity that promotes veganism.（1）What can we learn about veganism, “the fastestgrowing lifestyle movement” in UK? A.It has created many popular dishes.B.It is backed up mainly by old people.C.It has led to further market research.D.It has grown steeply in the past 10 years.（2）The following may account for the increase in veganism EXCEPT . A.Young people prefer an environmentfriendly life.B.Young people want to bee ethical celebrities.C.Meal manufacturing contributes a lot to the world39。s greenhouse gas.D.Social media allow the vegan message to spread quickly around.（3）The underlined word “sticking” in the Iasi paragraph is equal to in meaning.
