【推荐1】The 32nd Summer Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021. Recently, the organizers showed the medals to be presented at the Games. The design of the medals is simple, but they look shiny from any direction. And do you know that these medals were made from old smartphones and other electronics?

The idea was first introduced in 2016 by a group of young Japanese environmentalists. They wanted people to pay attention to the amount of e-waste produced by the country’s tech-loving people who change their electronics very often. To protect the environment, the Organizing Committee started the “Everyone’s Medal” program in April 2017. The program encouraged people to drop used electronics in certain places. By the time the collection ended in March 2019, 78,985 tons of used smartphones and other small electronics had been collected. The program finally got 32 kilos of gold, 3,500 kilos of silver, and 2, 200 kilos of bronze-more than enough metals to make every medal.

The Olympic Committee hopes the Tokyo 2021 Olympic medals will draw people’s attention to the fast increase in e-waste-not just in Japan, but worldwide, and cause people to rethink upgrading (更新) electronics unnecessarily.

Though Japan is the first Olympic host country to make all the medals by using metals from used electronics, it is not the only one to think of the idea. Brazil made 30% of the silver and bronze medals for the 2016 Summer Olympics from recycled materials.

3. Which is the first Olympic host country to make all the medals from used electronics?

A．Brazil.

D．America.

4. Why did they make the medals from used electronics?

A．To advise people to change their electronics very often.	B．To cause people to rethink upgrading electronics unnecessarily.

【推荐3】New York City is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school?

In New York you can travel around the city by underground, bus, taxi and car. The underground train runs on the railway lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by underground is the fastest way to get around the city.

The second way to travel around the city is by bus. It is a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves on the road on which traffic is often heavy.

You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to every place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there are rush hours. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and back from work.

The last way to get around New York is using your own car. It is inconvenient(不方便的)since you will perhaps be driving in the rush hour. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.

The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the time after the morning rush hour and before the afternoon rush hour. Traffic will be less crowded during this time since most people are already at work or at home.
