Playing is an important part of childhood. It’s fun and it helps children learn skills and stay active. Whether it’s creating imaginary world out of building blocks or simply riding a bike, children love to play and they need toys. But what happens to the toys which are no longer enjoyed, or the bike that becomes too small as the child grows? Usually, they are kept somewhere and forgotten. To avoid this happening, we should make it possible to rent (租) toys. That way, they can be sent back and someone else may need them.
If lots of people share toys, it’s better for the environment because fewer toys have to be made. Making toys uses resources such as energy, plastic and wood. It can be bad for the environment. It also means children can have the chance to try out lots of different kinds of toys. Once they are bored with a toy, they can send it back to recycling banks and get a different one from them. I think it’s an environmental-friendly way and it is clean because there will be less mess to clear up at home or fewer cupboards filled with toys.
1. What is the advantage of playing in childhood?2. How do people usually deal with the toys which are no longer needed?
3. What kinds of resources are used to make toys?
4. Where can people send toys back to and get a different one?

If you are in Shanghai and want to throw a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps: first, pour out any leftover(残留物) into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper wrapper into a recyclable waste bin; finally, throw the single-use cup and straw(吸管) into a dry waste bin.
Sound complex(复杂的)? You’ll have to get used to it. From July 1st,2019 on, people in Shanghai are required to sort(将...分类) their garbage（垃圾）according to strict rules. Garbage is divided into wet garbage, toxic(有毒的)garbage and recyclable garbage. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar sorting rules.
Why should we sort our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing amount of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China Economic Net. Most of this waste is buried in landfills, which may pollute water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.
In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer(肥料). But in order to recycle efficiently(有效地), we need to sort our garbage.
Can’t garbage-processing companies do the sorting job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own garbage. Besides, the troublesome task of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?
1. How many steps should we follow to throw away a cup of milk tea in Shanghai?2. When are people in Shanghai required to sort their garbage?
3. Why should we sort garbage?
4. Where is most of waste buried?
5. Which kind of garbage can be used to make heat?

Cherish the Valuable Resources
Do you believe in green living? Read the following blog (博客) and replies about a fun, easy and creative way to make your lifestyle greener.
Posted by Gina at 8:32 a. m. on 11th February 2021 Nowadays, we’re more wasteful than ever—buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly—but how? One answer is to recycle (再生利用). I started recycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you recycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try? |
| REPLY Terry Posted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2021 Why don’t you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive clothes I don’t wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need. |
| REPLY Gina Posted at 9:28 a. m. on 11th February 2021 Good point! I’ m talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before recycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need. |
| REPLY Betty Posted at 10:18 a. m. on 11th February 2021 Recycling clothing is a fun hobby. I like it very much because it makes me feel like I’m living less wastefully. I’ve made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. |

There is more and more waste around us and it has caused a lot of environmental problems.
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
Jack is a businessman. His main task is to sell “Living Machines”. He is very interested in clean water. He is also interested in saving money. So it’s natural that he is to be a developer of a small and affordable system (系统) to clean waste water. His “Living Machine” can clean waste water in your home.
The “Living Machine” is a system for cleaning waste water. The waste water goes into a big plastic tank where bacteria (细菌) start to break down the waste. A few days later after it is dealt with, the water is brought into a greenhouse filled with plants and fish. With the help of sunlight, the plants and animals remove more chemicals from the water, making it cleaner. Then the water can be reused for washing or bathing. It can’t be used for drinking and cooking. But the water is clean enough for watering the flowing, washing the dog, or even for bathing or swimming.
The advantage of this technology is that it is affordable and good for the environment. If you have enough homes and businesses use “Living Machines”, you’d better buy it. It can help to use less fresh water. It can help keep the water supply unpolluted, too.
1. What is Jack interested in?2. What is this “Lining Machine” used for?
3. What’s in the greenhouse?
4. Can the water be used for drinking and cooking?
5. What does Jack want people to do?

Green World is a company which sells health and beauty products. In May 2021, Green World began a program that rewards（奖励）customers for recycling empty product packaging（包装）. In a few months, Green World recycled more than a ton of plastic.
Should governments give rewards for recycling too? The TV station did a survey among the students from a local school. Here’s what three of them said.
Mike, 13
People should be rewarded for recycling. San Francisco has a program that rewards recycling, and it works best in the United States. By rewarding recycling, many cities would be cleaner.
Peter, 14
Even though people don’t recycle enough, they know that the best reward is providing a cleaner environment for the future world. Rewards will only encourage people to use more plastic products.
Anne, 12
People shouldn’t be rewarded for recycling. They should recycle anyway because the world has a lot of waste. Do people need a reward for throwing rubbish? No. It’s just the right thing to do.

请阅读下面的材料，根据所提供的信息，回答下面的问题。
Why do you set goals (目标)? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine what their life will be like and set many goals. It’s like a map to show you where you want to go. With it, you can get there easily. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind which can be found on a map. So he can drive straight there. But the other driver has no destination. He starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but he drives aimlessly around. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow them. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set and reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve (实现) it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. They are harder to be neglected (忽视) or forgotten. When you write your goals down in a particular (特殊的) way, they will bring you nearer to what you want.
1. Why should we set goals?2. Who imagine what their life will be like and set many goals?
3. Which one would you like to be if you want to get the destination easily?
4. Are goals difficult to set and reach?
5. What will they bring you when you write your goals down in a particular way?

My Holiday Plans
Winter holiday is coming, and I have some plans for it.
We sometimes see young people in Han Clothing taking photos in the park. While showing their own beauty, they show the clothes as well. Every country has its own traditional clothing. I believe Han Clothing is a part of Chinese culture. But as the modern world develops, people now wear fashionable clothes like jackets, T-shirts and jeans. That’s why I’m so happy and proud to see more people begin to wear Han Clothing. They are actually inheriting (继承) our traditional culture.
Zeng Yijie,13
Wearing Han Clothing seems to be a new fashion. I think Han Clothing is beautiful and elegant. Many people who wear it on the street look like they’re coming out of ancient paintings. Not everyone who wears Han Clothing is a true fan. For example, some wear Han Clothing in parks only to focus on taking photos. Some compare the clothes with others’ and even argue about the prices of the clothing. I think what they should do is to respect the traditional clothing culture of China, not just show their own beauty under Han Clothing.
Zhao Dingyi, 14
Although Han Clothing is brightly colored, well-cut and beautiful in shape, its cost should be lower. The cost of wearing Han Clothing is a little bit too high now, which puts pressure on people. I have heard that 1000 Yuan can only buy a medium-priced Han Clothing. Some brands even produce limited-edition (限量版) suits. These are very expensive. If the price is lower, more people will afford it. In this way, traditional clothing culture will be more popular.
Zhou Ziqin, 13

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program. there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010. Six million children die of hunger every year.
CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food. It can feed 200 million people for a year. Here are what the interviewees tell the reporters.
Zhou Jinsong, a canteen（食堂）manager at Central South University: Students produce over 12 barrels（桶）of leftovers（剩饭）every day-each barrel stands at one meter in height. My canteen is just one of several canteens on the campus（校园）. About one third of canteen food ends up in rubbish bins. The food that students waste every year can feed over 10 million people. Gong Tao from Central South University: Students have less and less ideas of food waste over the years. They are now well protected by their families and hardly have any ideas of how much hard work others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. A more serious problem is that food waste happens almost everywhere. Yu Qing, a middle school teacher from Beijing: Since the 1980s, when Chinese gradually became richer. food waste has been a subject of debate（争论）. But things have hardly changed over the years. Chinese people prefer to order lots of dishes for a meal. It’s a Chinese way of showing respect to guests, often referred as mianzi. It is important that everyone thinks about how they can do their best to reduce food waste. |
