Lucy is a 14-year-old girl. She really likes popular music. She says the music makes her feel calm and relaxed. But her best friend prefers rock music. Sometimes her friend likes sharing her favorite rock music with Lucy. But Lucy just doesn’t like it. She thinks it sounds noisy.

       “In fact, I want to tell her that I have different tastes in music, “Lucy said. “But I am worried that this may hurt her feelings and harm our friendship. What can I do?”
       Everyone has different opinions. This is very common. Your opinion is one of the things that make you different. It is okay to express your own opinions. But you should be careful about how you express your opinions.
       First, listen carefully to the other person. Although you may be eager to explain your side, listening to someone else explain their idea first may help keep the conversation calm. You will also better understand their side.
       Next, express your own opinion politely. Remember, you’re not trying to start an argument. Don’t express yourself too eagerly. Winning or losing is not the point. Don’t try to force your friend to think like you.
       Lastly and most importantly, show your friend that you value your friendship, even if you disagree about things.
       We don’t need to worry about talking to our friends about what we really think. Real friends respect each other.

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.
In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect（探测）water waste and leakage（泄漏）and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App（应用程序）that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special things.

55. What’s the main idea of the passage?

The world is being covered by plastic. In China, the amount of plastic waste rose into 14 million kilograms last year, but only about 9% was recycled. Over 1.32 million kilograms of plastic found its way into the world’s oceans, which caused serious pollution. Luckily, researchers have found a special kind of bacteria which can help break down plastic recently.

The bacteria are so small that we need a microscope (显微镜) to see them. They can “eat” plastic by changing its chemicals into something that will help them grow. The secret to this is enzymes (酶). Bacteria uses enzymes to cause chemical changes.

In 2012, in the decaying (腐烂的) leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly broke down PET plastic. Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it can’t be made into new bottles. Compared with other 100,000 enzymes, it was the best at breaking down PET.

To improve LCC, scientists studied the enzyme and the way it broke down the PET. By testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they found a new kind of LCC. It can be alive at higher temperatures, eat PET very quickly and make most PET plastic reusable. Scientists were satisfied with the result. When the environment was just right, the new LCC was able to break down 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke down half of the PET.

56. How many plastic products are recycled in China last year?

A．About 1.32 million kilograms.

B．About 14 million kilograms.

C．About 1.26 million kilograms.

57. Which statement is TRUE about the bacteria?

A．Bacteria can be seen with our eyes directly.

B．Bacteria can’t be used to break down plastic.

C．Enzymes help bacteria change chemicals in plastic.

58. From Paragraph 3, we can know _______.

A．most PET plastic could be made into new bottles again

B．an enzyme called LCC was found in PET plastic in 2012

C．LCC was found the best at breaking down PET plastic

59. Compared with the old LCC, which is NOT the advantage of the new kind of LCC?

A．It can be alive at higher temperatures.

B．It can make all the PET plastic reusable.

C．It can break down PET plastic in a faster way.

60. Where can we probably read this passage?

A．In a storybook.

B．In a science report.

C．In an advertisement.
