Boyan Slat has one huge goal. It’s a goal that could be good for people and animals all over the world.     1    , it looks like he’s going to meet his goal.

When he was 16. Dutch engineering student Slat was on vacation in Greece, and he started to think about all the rubbish that is pushed onto beaches by water. The oceans around the world are all of plastic—millions of tons of plastic.     2    , plastic doesn’t just disappear. It takes centuries to break down.

The present     3     of the oceans is bad and worrying, and Slat wanted to do something to change it. So he made it a personal goal to clean up the rubbish in the world’s oceans.

Slat started with an idea for an unusual machine to “catch” the plastic floating(漂浮)in the water using the     4     energy of the ocean. He left school in 2013 to begin work     5     his project The Ocean Cleanup. Soon, the project received a lot of attention.

A year later, Slat was named a “Champion of the Earth” by the United Nations for his valuable work.

Now, let me say a few words to our American friends: Climate change is one of the major     1     of our time. It is already changing our daily lives but it is global. Everyone is impacted. And if we do nothing, our children will know a world of     2    , of wars, of shortage, a dangerous world. It is not the future we want for ourselves. It is not the future we want for our children. It is not the future we want for our world.

Today, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his decision to     3     the United States from the Paris Agreement. I do respect his decision, but I do think it is a(n)     4     mistake both for the US and for our planet.

I just said it to President Trump, in a few words a few minutes ago this     5    . Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.

To all the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say they will find in France a second homeland. I call on them --- come and work here with us, to work together on     6     solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you: France will not give up the fight.

I reaffirm clearly that Paris agreement will remain     7     and will be     8     not just by France, but by all the other nations. Over the coming hours, I will have the opportunity to speak with our main partners to define a common strategy and to launch new     9    . I already know that I can count on them.

I call on you to remain confident. We will succeed, because we are     10    , because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility to make our planet great again.

Thank you.

【推荐2】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Bhutan is the country of a stunning and wide variety of flora and fauna, amazing architecture, ancient traditions, remarkably friendly people and unique colorful culture. It is     1     the worlds’ happiest country and also one of the greenest, for the Himalayan kingdom is not only carbon neutral, but carbon     2    .

What is also noteworthy is that this is happening despite increasing tourism. One of the ways foreigners can contribute to the country’s conservation efforts is to visit the miraculous land. As a travel destination, Bhutan remains unique,     3     between its industrialized neighbors China and India. The isolated nation only opened up to foreign visits in 1974 and allowed TVs in 1999.

Bhutan has built sustainability into its national     4    . “Our enlightened monarchs (君王) have worked tirelessly to develop our country,     5     economic growth carefully with social development, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation, all within the framework of good governance,” Tshering Tobgay, Bhutan’s Prime Minister said at a 2016 TED Talk. One of the ways Bhutan has achieved this is controlled, low     6     tourism.

Unless you’re from India, Bangladesh, or the Maldives, you’ll need a visa to explore this wonderland—there is no independent travel. Aside from the visa ($40), tourists must pay an additional $200 to $250 “Minimum Daily Package Fee” and book through an officially     7     tour operator. The fee can confuse or put off potential visitors, so it’s worth clarifying what it is. It covers lodging in three-star accommodations, all meals, a(n)     8     guide, camping and hiking equipment, domestic travel (excluding flights), and taxes and fees. A daily sustainable development fee of $65 is also included in the package. This goes towards     9     education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation, along with the building of infrastructure to     10     growing tourism.

Tips for More Sustainable Living

Making some small changes to your routine can pay off big in various ways:helping the planet while saving your time, money, or both. You will be surprised by how big a difference you can make with     1     little effort. Here’s some suggestions:

Give up throwing certain items. Your coffee grounds, and used tea leaves can be fertilizer (肥料) instead of being thrown in the trash. If you don’t have access to a fertilizer factory, you can hire a company to    2    pick up your leftover food for a fee.

Try to     3     the ugly. The fruit and vegetables that are odd-looking or    4     are actually good to use. It is easy to hide them in soups and yogurt. Don’t     5    away from these foods at the store and do sign up to have them    6     straight to your door through service such as Misfit Market, which offers ugly produce at discounted prices.

Forget fast fashion. The average American throws away 82 pounds of fast fashion clothing each year. Thankfully, there’s a(n)     7    number of companies that prioritize sustainability, producing fewer but longer-lasting articles, often made with organic fabrics and eco-friendly dyes. When clothing is truly at its end, consider     8     it as cleaning duster.

Don’t get cheated. Because of the consumer trend toward more eco-friendly products, many companies make exaggerated (夸张的) claims about their own efforts. For instance, a brand might boast that its products are free of a certain chemical, even though that chemical has been     9     for decades. This is called green-washing. Avoid falling    10    to it by looking for certifications such as “Fair Trade Certified” or “Rainforest Alliance Certified.”
