【推荐2】On my first day of high school, I saw a boy from my class walking back home after school. His name was David. He was carrying his books. As I was walking, I saw a group of kids running toward him, knocking all his books out of his arms. And then they ran away. David fell down and his glasses went flying. He looked up and I saw sadness in his eyes. I helped him to look for his glasses and said, “The kids with bad manners should be punished.” There was a big smile that showed real gratitude (感激) on his face.

From then on we became friends. The more I got to know David, the more I liked him. Over the next four years, we always studied, played together and had a happy time.

On graduation (毕业) day, I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So I said, “Hey, you will be the best!” Then he began, “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you succeed through those difficult years. Our parents, our teachers, but mostly our friends. Being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I’ll tell you a story...” I just looked at the handsome popular boy in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met.

Everyone was surprised to hear all about his hardest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same thankful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its deep meaning.

On Nov 1, Chinese biologist Yan Ning made a great decision to return to China. The 45-year-old said that she would leave Princeton University in the US to help set up a new medical academy (研究院) in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

It is set to be finished in 2025 and aims to be a world-famous medical research academy by the middle of this century.

Yan said she wanted to support more outstanding people and deal with health problems humans are facing. For her, Shenzhen is an energetic place where anything is possible. “Shenzhen is the city of dreams, and I want to realize my next dream here,” Yan said in a speech.

Yan’s return can be seen as a symbol of China paying great attention to developing the careers of talented people. Our country gives good chances, which have made many overseas students and talents return.

【推荐2】When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food. What do you do with these things? You will probably throw them into one bin.

But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted (分类) separately.

Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.

Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account (账户)” service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want, but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.

Paper, metal (金属), glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡).

Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.

If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾填理场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater (地下水). Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

1. How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage?

A．Creating a “green account” service with the help of Alipay

B．Paying people to sort their trash correctly

C．Allowing people to exchange garbage with each other

D．Providing its residents with guidebooks to help them

2. Which of the following would be classified as wet waste?

A．Batteries

B．Glasses

C．Leftover food

D．Medicine

3. What do we know about garbage sorting in China?

A．It started its garbage sorting system in 2012.

B．Students have to take waste-sorting classes in school.

C．There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.

D．Burying garbage is a common method of getting rid of garbage.

4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Where we can bury our waste.

B．Why we should sort our garbage properly.

C．What kinds of waste can pollute the environment.

D．How some kinds of waste can be reused and recycled.
