Before you throw your trash into the nearest can, think for a moment. Not all your garbage can be dumped into one trashcan. It needs to be sorted out with different things going into different bins. Waste classification, a practice that has long been normal in developed countries like Japan, is the new challenge for many Chinese urban residents. However, though initially you might need to rack your brains to figure out which trash goes into which can, in the long run, the result is well worth the effort.
Landfills, sites where waste is buried and covered over with soil, are a major method of disposing of residential waste in China. However, considering the environmental disaster associated with burying waste, there is a pressing need to reduce the amount of waste that goes into a landfill. Classification, sorting waste into different categories such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, is a key solution.
Currently, 46 cities across China, are carrying out a program that aims to put in place a classification-based garbage disposal system by the end of 2020. It is hoped that this will reduce the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills by a large degree. Shanghai came into the media focus in early July after it carried out compulsory garbage sorting rules that those who fail to dispose of garbage properly should be fined. Beijing is reviewing its regulations to follow in Shanghai's footsteps. The new rules may cause short-term inconvenience but they are meant to help residents follow the concept of garbage classification for the common good.
As the programs show, residents can gradually develop this habit with their growing awareness and the help of advanced technology. In future, this practice should be adopted across China, in urban cities and rural areas alike. With public involvement, China's garbage sorting program will contribute not only to the nation's sustainable (可持续的) development but also to making the planet a better place to live in.

【推荐1】When it comes to lowering our carbon emissions (排放), it seems that nothing is simple. Electric vehicles (EVs) act as an example of potential greenwash. “They seem very attractive at first sight,” writes The Next Web in a report. “When we look more closely, it becomes clear that they have a substantial carbon footprint.”
The rare earth metals and costly minerals included as essential ingredients in EV batteries are not renewable. What’s more, their extraction (提炼) is often anything but green.
So the question is: is it worth it? Just how much emission reduction can EVs justify? Luckily, a life cycle assessment has been done to give us some answers.
“A life cycle analysis of emissions considers three phases,” writes The Next Web. “the manufacturing phase, the use phase, and the recycling phase.” In the manufacturing phase, the battery is to blame. “Emissions from manufacturing EV batteries were estimated to be 3.2 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), 1/4 of those from an electric car, 13 tons of CO2. Those were bigger than emissions from gas cars, 10.5 tons of CO2.” If the vehicle life is assumed to be 150,000 kilometers, emissions from the manufacturing phase of an electric car are higher than gas cars.”
In the use phase, the source of electricity the consumer is using to power their car comes into play in a major way. “To understand how the emissions of electric car vary with a country’s renewable electricity share, consider Australia and New Zealand,” continues the report. “In 2018, Australia’s share of renewables in electricity was about 21%. In contrast, the number in New Zealand’s was about 84%. Electric car emissions in Australia and New Zealand are estimated at about 170g and 25g of CO2 per km respectively. As a consumer, our car is only as green as our country’s energy mix.”
Finally, in the recycling phase, we look at vehicle dismantling(拆除), vehicle recycling, battery recycling, and material recovery. “The estimated emissions in this phase, based on a study, are about 1.8 tons for a gas car and 2.4 tons for an electric car. This difference is mostly due to the emissions from battery recycling, which is 0.7 tons,” shows in the report. “While electric cars cause more greenhouse gas emissions than gas cars do, it's important to note the recycled batteries can be used in subsequent batteries. This could have significant emissions reduction benefits in the future. For complete life cycle emissions, the study shows that EV emissions are 18% lower than gas cars.”
So here’s the takeaway: EVs are greener. Maybe they’re not as green as we thought. There’s certainly room for improvement. But the real challenge lies in speeding the global energy transition toward greener energy-production.
1. Why is a life cycle analysis of emissions made?| A．To illustrate the advantages of EVs. |
| B．To show how gas cars outperform EVs. |
| C．To weigh the environmental impact of EVs. |
| D．To examine the energy sources of gas cars and EVs. |

| A．EVs are worthy of the praise they have received. |
| B．EVs are not successful for their environmental downsides. |
| C．EVs will no longer be widely accepted for their emissions. |

【推荐2】Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.
None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.
Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.
While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid (电线). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. In addition, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would normally throw.
Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.

【推荐3】Shanghai, the first Chinese mainland city to carry out a compulsory garbage classification regulation in July, is using intellectual platforms that can count the amount of garbage residents dump（倒）to promote recycling.
A residential area in Shanghai's Baoshan district is using 10 sets of such smart bins. Through data shown on the screen, staff of the platform will know the amount of garbage collected and when and who dumped them. The smart bin can also help social workers. For example, for elderly people living alone, a social worker will go to their home to check if the elderly people failed to dump garbage.
The "green fortune can!'' issued in 2016 by Shanghai environmental authorities is the base of the big data platform. The card is meant to encourage daily garbage sorting and to build an eco-friendly way of life in the city, according to the city government's website. Residents can swipe （刷）the card after selecting the waste type on a screen above the smart bins, and the bin will open automatically. After the trash is dumped, residents will receive corresponding points which they could exchange for small gifts.
The city government said more than 7.28 million Shanghai families have joined the project, and 6.31 million cards have been distributed. Residents and experts welcomed the use of high-tech equipment in garbage recycling, saying it is more convenient than expected.
But proper garbage handling and necessary construction should catch up to avoid such a good idea from becoming a formalism project, Luo Yameng, a Beijing-based urban-planning and eco-city expert, told the Global Times on Thursday.
In the future, the community's management company would also issue garbage bags attached with QR codes, which would make it convenient for management departments to track residents who break garbage recycling regulations.
The Global Times reporter found that similar measures have been applied in some areas in Beijing, which is drafting its own garbage recycling regulations.

【推荐1】Critical reading is important. It’s a form of language analysis, involving a deeper examination of the text and the ideas for better comprehension. This means the reader should always keep an open mind, read slower than usual, pay extra attention, take notes and try to put himself in the shoes of the author’s target audience.
One of the most obvious benefits of critical reading is that it is an amazing workout for our brains. By getting more involved in the text and analyzing more aspects of the language, more areas of our brain are being activated and our brains develop better and faster.
Reading critically has a positive effect on how much, how well and how quickly we understand what we read. It implies a level of involvement in the activity of reading that doesn’t allow us to skip any unknown words, any connections to other events the author is making. No stone is left unturned.
In critical reading any thought, idea or concept expressed by the author needs to be observed, judged and carefully analyzed. The same mental process is involved in critical thinking. Being able to distinguish between real and fake news for example is absolutely essential nowadays. That is the power of critical thinking and critical reading is therefore a great means to an end.
In critical reading it is not unusual for a reader to go over the same paragraph several times to make sure all the information is understood. A critical reader will often take notes in order to structure the gathered information. This process in turn tricks our brain into remembering a lot more information than you would through regular reading.
Given its strong connection to critical thinking, the benefits of critical reading extend over a much larger spectrum: better decision making, a clearer mind, crisper logic and even an ability to solve problems faster, better and with less effort.
1. In what way is critical reading beneficial to the development of our brain?| A．The readers keep open-minded while doing critical reading. |
| B．The readers stay more sharp-minded than in regular reading. |
| C．The readers use more areas of the brain than in regular reading. |
| D．The readers work out to refresh their brain before doing critical reading. |
| A．The reader is challenged in all aspects. |
| B．The reader understands everything completely. |
| C．The reader is satisfied with getting a general idea. |
| D．The reader checks if all words are employed properly. |
| A．It leads to the appearance of fake news. | B．It can be realized through critical reading. |
| C．It’s something most readers lack nowadays. | D．It’s the mental process of gathering information. |

【推荐2】Depending on your view, the recorder (竖笛) is an instrument of “incredible functions” or a tool of annoyance that has bothered primary schools for too many generations. But now, it faces extinction, with one of the UK’s top music schools reporting an 80% decline in the number of young people playing it in the last 10 years.
The instrument’s future is so imperilled that the European Recorder Teachers Association is trying to bring it back to life again so it does not go the way of the lute. The ERTA argues that if the recorder was good enough for the Beatles, it has a place in modern music today. Tom Redmond, the principal of Chetham’s school of music in Manchester, said only three of its pupils practised the recorder, compared with 15 a decade ago. “More pupils were taking up the piano or other instruments,” said Redmond. “The ones that became really popular are the ones students spend more time playing alone. With the instruments being more socially or orchestral based, there has been a decline.”
Redmond also said that this problem extended “beyond the recorder itself” and was a mirror of the future of music. “Like removing any plant or animal from an ecosystem, removing the recorder has a huge ripple effect (连锁反应) beyond just the instrument. You need these instruments to create the inspiration for music, and without that, there is less excitement for it and to learn music,” he said. Chris Orton, a recorder tutor and chair of the ERTA, is leading the fight against the instrument’s extinction. He said, “The recorder is increasingly overlooked by students, and yet it has a rich history and incredible attractions. As well as making beautiful sounds, it’s an accessible instrument in that it is low-cost compared to other woodwind instruments, and it’s light and easy to carry.”

【推荐3】I'm sure we've all done something a little dishonest in our lives—maybe copying someone's work, or being given too much change in a shop and keeping quiet about it. Or maybe I'm wrong—maybe you’re a good, upstanding citizen who believes that honesty is the best policy.
We may agree that admitting our mistakes and behaving in a genuine and decent way is the right way to lead our lives but is there something in our human nature that makes us unscrupulous? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box—a box where you pay for something by putting money in it. But it does provide a temptation(诱惑) to get away with not paying the full amount.
Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: we have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It's part of our evolutionary psychological make up—because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.
So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It's because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.
Being trustworthy with money is of course extremely important for an economy to survive and there are laws to protect us from dishonest practices. But being honest with words is another matter; saying what we think to someone can be embarrassing. Is honest always the best policy?
1. Which of the underlined words is similar to "dishonest" in meaning?| A．upstanding |
| B．decent |
| C．unscrupulous |
| D．trustworthy |
| A．Take some money out if in need. |
| B．Donate some money to the charities. |
| C．Get away without paying the right amount. |
| D．Put in the amount of money one should pay for his buying. |
| A．Men are born to be dishonest. |
| B．One will be criticized if he is dishonest. |
| C．Dishonesty is of some benefit to survival. |
| D．Breaking the balance is kind of dishonesty. |
| A．honesty is based on working together |
| B．not all social members accept dishonesty |

【推荐2】Scientists say only enlarging the world’s nature reserve to help protect plants and animals may be useless. The main reason is that levels of human activity are rising in and around the nature reserves. In fact, recognizing spaces as protected areas is not reducing human activity there.
The researchers found that a lack of money to pay for land conservation (保护) is affecting conservation efforts. And it is a lack of communication between people who live in protected natural areas and outsiders. About 17 percent of the world is within protected areas, including the national parks, nature reserves and wilderness areas. Protected areas are important for supporting environments with many different kinds of plants and animals.
The researchers again found increasing human activity in most protected areas in every country. However, they said that human activity appeared to be more of a problem in nations with fewer roads and lower life standards on the Human Development Index (指数). The index uses information about life length, education and earnings to grade countries on human development.
Across the northern Australia, protected areas often proved effective at slowing human activity when compared with unprotected areas. But in South America, Southeast Asia and African countries, pressure from human activity inside protected areas was higher.
Experts say governments need to provide fund support to help protected areas. Simply recognizing a place as a protected area can’t be the beginning and the end of a conservation effort. Working with local people to take efforts is also important. If they’re not partners in the protected areas, then wildlife conservation is much more difficult.

【推荐3】Birds, butterflies, bats and bees are all pollinators(传粉者). However, bees are classified as the most important pollinators for the existence of plants and harvest of produce worldwide. They contribute a lot to the produce we harvest, both directly and indirectly.
There are about 20,000 bee species with the most popular being the honeybee. Kept in man- made beehives（蜂巢）, they are responsible for 30% of the food production chain for human consumption. In other words, without honeybees, there would it be 30% less produce for consumption.
Bees have four needs in order to survive and the most important one is having enough food. They should store enough food to get through the drought period. The other three are: approriate climate within the hive, proper living places and available nest-building materials.
However, in recent years, the number of bees is reducing considerably. There are many factors（因素）that can lead to this: the use of pesticides(杀虫剂), bacterial and parasitic infection and deforestation(滥砍滥伐). It’s a mixture of these factors that can cause the bee population to dwindle. The factors should be kept in mind in order to protect the bee populations.
In Aruba, there are many keepers called “Imkers”.Imkers are responsible for the production of honey, but they are also called when bees build nests in unwanted areas. They should carefully move the nest to other locations. There is a preservation program calld “Adopt-a-beehive” at the Cunucn Mondi Fierno. It encourages those who have an available place to make their place available for the temporary relocation of bee nests when needed. Donations are also welcome for this cause. Imkers play a very important role in protecting the bee populations.
The Department of Nature and the Environmentl calls for the relocation of the bee nests in a natural way, instead of ridding them with pesticides. Only by protecting the bees can we guarantee their existence and their help in the production of fruits and vegetables.
