【推荐1】In the past five years, about 2.8 billion of school textbooks were sold per year, with total spending of 20 billion yuan, news magazine Outlook Weekly reported.

Zhao Dehua is in charge of(掌管) a recycling resources company. He said many college graduates sell the textbooks they have used for four years at an average(平均) price of 1 yuan per kilogram. As these textbooks are mostly used to produce recycled paper, the cost is even higher than that of raw(未加工的) paper. It is because the processing steps of recycled paper are complex.

At present, free textbooks related to music, art and P. E. for the nine-year compulsory education(义务教育) have been reused. But because of the lack of a good platform and service supporting system for the second-hand textbook trade, most of the textbooks used for compulsory education and higher education end up as waste.

“Every year, second-hand booksellers collect textbooks at a price of about 4,000 yuan a ton. It is more than twice the price of ordinary waste paper. But the number of people who come to collect second-hand books is still small,” Zhao Dehua said.

“Setting up the system of textbook recycling can not only save resources, but also help cultivate student’ saving habits and sense of responsibility,” said Zhu Pin, a head of a school of nine-year compulsory education in Jiangxi Province. The school has set up a system for reusing the textbooks and the books are disinfected(消毒) every week.

Data(数据) from Xianyu, Alibaba’s online platform for used goods, showed that 1.56 million textbooks were sold last month. It now has more than 30 million online sellers.

1. Why is the cost of textbooks recycling higher than that of raw paper?

A．Few college graduates sell the textbooks.

B．The number of second-hand booksellers is still small.

2. Which of the following can not be reused for the nine-year compulsory education?

C．Textbooks related to P. E.	D．Textbooks related to Chinese.

3. The writer may agree ________.

A．setting up the system of textbook recycling is necessary

B．almost all second-hand textbooks end up as waste

C．more and more people should help to produce second-hand books

D．recycling textbooks has nothing to do with environment protection
