As we all know that recycling is a way to take rubbish and turn it into new products. It’s good for our environment.
There are a number of different recycling steps that allow materials to be used more than once. All kinds of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common things in use today include recycling plastic, glass, metals and paper. Things made of these materials include soda cans, plastic milk boxes, newspapers, computers and cardboard boxes.
Be sure to recycle everything you can in your house and school. There is almost a “recycle” rubbish can around. Be sure to drop your used aluminum(铝) cans and plastic bottles there. At home, be sure to put paper things like the newspapers, paper boxes, and homework pages into the recycle box. Plastics are usually marked with an identification code(标识码) that shows a recycling symbol and a number from 1 to 7. This shows that the type of chemicals(化学品), or materials, is used in making the plastic. Used paper can be recycled around seven times.
Also we should set up a recycle station in every street, across the city and the country, so the cleaners can transport the rubbish conveniently. This is the only way out for handling rubbish without causing danger to the environment and our health.
Remember: There are a number of advantages for recycling. These include: Landfills—Recycling materials means less rubbish and saves space in landfills. Resources—When we use materials again, this means we can take fewer resources from the earth. Pollution—In general, recycling materials can produce less pollution, helping to keep our environment clean. So, for ourselves, our children and our children’s children, let’s take action NOW!

【推荐2】When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t like to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes（基因）and, even worse, can slow their growth. Professor Jim Whelan in Australia gave an explanation. The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant.
In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as the result of the touch, the mitochondria（线粒体）in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria are the “power-house” of the cell（细胞）.The mitochondria produce energy for the cells in both animals and plants. If this “power-house” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth.
Whelan further explained, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by 30 percent.”Although the touching does have a strong influence on plants, usually the plants can still be alive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not always a bad change. Continually touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. However, in some ways, this change could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants. And the research might help with the growth of plants.
1. What can get in the way of plants’ growth according to the article?| A．Love | B．Touch | C．Water | D．Weather |
| A．By providing energy for cells. | B．By changing the plants’ genes. |
| C．By fighting against the insects. | D．By reducing the amount of cells. |

【推荐3】Have you seen The Wandering Earth? It’s a popular 3D movie, and you may have to wear 3D glasses to see it. The 3D glasses make the images (图像)from the movie look as if they were coming straight towards you.
More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. Some say that 3D TV sets will come into our homes in the near future. 3D technology can make TV and movies are more exciting. However, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies. Why?
When we look at an object, each eye sees it at a different angle. Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. 3D technology uses two film projectors (投影机). One projects a left-eye-image and the other projects a right-eye-image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye. So, when we are watching a 3D movie, our brain can’t put together the images sent to our eyes. The brain needs to work harder at “reading” the images. That makes it easier for people with eye problems to get dizzy (头晕的) or have headaches. A famous eye doctor said if your eyes can’t focus on the same object at once, you will have trouble watching 3D movies.
1. The 3D glasses can make the images from the movie ________.| A．look more beautiful than usual |
| B．look as if they were coming straight towards you |
| C．look as if they were far away from you |
| D．look more clear than usual |
| A．3D computers | B．3D phones |
| C．3D movies | D．3D TV sets |
| A．each eye sees the object at the same angle |
| B．our brain puts the two different pictures together |
| C．there will be two film projectors in our eyes |
| D．our brain can’t put together the images sent to our eyes |
| A．you will see different images in both eyes |
| B．your brain can’t work at all |
| C．the images can be put together easily by your brain |
| D．our brain can put the images together |
·Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.
·Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.
·Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.
·Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

【推荐2】When throwing away rubbish, do you know which dustbin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored dustbins on the street?
Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort（分类）your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.
If you don't sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾清理场）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. Other pieces of rubbish, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.
With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting campaigns（活动）in recent years. for example, Shanghai announced in 2018 that within three years（2018—2020）, all the people living in Shanghai should sort their rubbish 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. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
Many other Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, are using this method to sort their rubbish. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their rubbish.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正（T）、误（F）。
1. If you know how to sort waste, it will help us save energy and protect the environment.
2. Shanghai will achieve the goal of sorting their rubbish into four groups in 2020.
3. The food that we haven't finished eating at home belongs to recyclable waste.
4. Many cities in China are doing waste-sorting work nowadays.
5. The passage mainly tells us how to recycle rubbish.
If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a "lesson" on garbage sorting(垃圾分类), Shanghai is the first city to carry out(实施)strict rules on garbage sorting. People in Shanghai know that garbage is sorted into four categories(类别)—recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan, while companies will have to pay between 1,000 to 50,000 yuan for breaking the rules. Since the rules took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced. The city also rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40,000 waste bins have been updated.
However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping. According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin. Because the wet garbage will decompose(分解)properly ad become useful organic(有机的)waste.
By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will be set up in 46 cities in our country. Everyone should take an active part in garbage sorting.
1. ________ is the first city to carry out strict rules on garbage sorting.| A．Beijing | B．Shanghai | C．Shenzhen | D．Chongqing |
