As an Englishman, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics (数据) from a survey showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are not good language learners in Europe.

4.在英国，学生不要求学外语。In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11. And many of the British students stop learning it at 14. They think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects like science or history.

To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. 5.Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians (行人) safe.

The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt (安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.

Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim (格言) for all road users is “Thinking about others”. It’s important for everyone to follow the traffic rules.

1. People make traffic rules because they can ________________ on the road and also help to keep the pedestrians safe.
2. Always be ________________ you walk across the street.
3. You shouldn’t ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk when ________________ bike.
4. Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be ________________.
5. Traffic rules are called Road Safety rules ________________.

【推荐2】Does your family buy the week’s groceries (杂货) including many bottled drinks into your home? Because after having sports or hanging out under the sun, it’s so cool to get a cold one right out of the fridge, right?

        But all those plastic (塑料) bottles use a lot of oil and pollute the environment. Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world with 29 billion water bottles a year. To make all these bottles, 17 million barrels (桶) of oil will be used up. That’s enough oil to keep million cars going for twelve months.
        Most people choose to throw the bottles away after having the bottled drinks. In fact, instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into carpeting or clothing. Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt (瓦特) light bulb (灯泡) for six hours.
        Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one is made recycling. The rest are sent as garbage. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land or in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate (分解).
        So why don’t more people drink water from the kitchen? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them, but that’s not true. The chemicals in the bottles themselves may get into the water which can do harm to people.

So next time when you have drinks or water, please try to use a glass at home or carry water in a steel bottle. And if you want to do something more, try to collect plastic bottles and send them for recycling.

Answer the questions according to the passage.
1. What are plastic bottles made from?
__________________________________________________
2. How many bottles of water do Americans buy every year?

3. What can recycling a plastic bottle do?

When Cash Daniels was given “The Conservation Kid” for his efforts to protect the environment in 2021, he was only 12 years old. He got interested in environmental problems a few years ago, when he found plastic on a beach. It got him thinking about the influence that plastic pollution has on the environment, especially on rivers and oceans.

In his research, Cash found that rivers are at the heart of the problem. According to a 2021 report from Science Advances, far more rivers than thought—at least 1, 000 of them—are carrying large number of plastic into our oceans. This hit close to home for Cash. He lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The city sits on the Tennessee River, one of the most polluted in the world.

This information motivated（激发）Cash to take action. He made it his mission to clear litter from public spaces and local waterways.

At first, he and his parents worked together to pick up litter near the Tennessee River. But Cash soon realized that he would need more help.

So he organized community cleanup outings. Finally, he and other volunteers removed more than 11, 000 pounds of litter from the river.

Cash has also teamed up with businesses to recycle aluminum cans （铝罐）. So far, he has recycled more than 2, 000 pounds of them. The money he earns from that supports river protection efforts.

Cash enjoys getting people, especially other kids, involved in environmental activism. He wrote a children’s book called One Small Piece, which he has read to students in his community. In it, he spent much time explaining the problem of pollution and how streams, rivers, and oceans are interconnected.

In January 2022, together with his friend Ella Grace, he founded Cleanup Kids. So far, The Cleanup Kids has had more than 50 members across the US, Canada, and Australia. The group encourages children to pick up and recycle litter, as well as to raise awareness（意识） among young people to understand how much human life depends on the nature. The goal for the young volunteers is to collect 1 million pieces of litter by the end of 2022. “Kids may be a small percentage of the population,” Cash says. “But they are 100% of the future.”
