2 . Books for babies should have simple, repetitive text and clear pictures. During the first few months of life, your child just likes to hear your voice, so you can read almost anything, especially books with a sing-song or rhyming text. As your baby gets more interested in looking at things, choose books with simple pictures against solid backgrounds.

Once your baby begins to grab, you can read plastic or cloth books that have faces, bright colors, and shapes. When your baby begins to respond to what's inside of books, add board books with pictures of babies or familiar objects like toys. When your child begins to do things like sitting up in the bathtub or eating finger foods, find simple stories about daily routines like bedtime or bath time. When your child starts talking, choose books that invite babies to repeat simple words or phrases.

Books with mirrors and different textures are also great, as are fold-out books that can be supported. Board books make page turning easier for babies and plastic or cloth books can go everywhere—even the bath tub. Babies of any age like photo albums with pictures of people they know and love. And every baby should have a collection of alternative books!

One of the best ways you can ensure that your little one grows up to be a reader is to have books around your house. When your baby is old enough to crawl over to a basket of toys and pick one out, make sure some books are included in the mix.

In addition to the books you own, take advantage of those you can borrow from the library. Many libraries have story- time just for babies, too. Don't forget to pick up a book for yourself while you’ re there. Reading for pleasure is another way you can be your baby's reading role model.

3 . Culture is more than just buildings, monuments and natural wonders.

There are intangible (无形的) parts of culture that are important, too.

ZvonCari, Croatia:

Recognized by UNESCO in 2009，this tradition features two to thirty people who ring the bells. They wear special clothes and hats, carrying a small tree through various villages. They ring their bells to request food and rest before continuing to the next village. Each of them returns to their own villages and burns any rubbish outside their homes.

We're all familiar with tightrope-walking, but this Korean tradition—recognized by UNESCO in 2011—involves a comedic routine, fancy completions and lively music. The Jultagi Safeguarding Association provides training for the tradition.

Not all cultural heritages are about dancing and performing. Some, like this tradition from Mongolia that was recognized by UNESCO in 2014, are games. Teams of six to eight players attempt to land 30 marbles (弹珠) made of bones into a target zone. Each player uses individualized tools to achieve this. Different teams have different practices and skill sets, and games create an opportunity to exchange ideas.

Twelve families of horseback shrimpers collect shrimp twice a week in Oostdunkerke, Belgium, as well as during special occasions like festivals.

5 . Can everything be recycled? No, not all things can be recycled. But you might be surprised to learn how many things can be recycled. You may already know about plastic bottles. Did you know you can also recycle glass?

Glass can be recycled to make all sorts of things. Recycling glass really helps the planet. Making new products from recycled glass causes less air and water pollution. It also uses less energy than making new glass.

When glass arrives at a recycling plant, people and machines sort it by color. Similar colors of glass must be recycled together. That way, recycled products are as pure as possible. This makes them stronger and less likely to break. Once the glass is sorted, it's washed. That's when the breaking begins. That's right! To be recycled, glass has to be broken to make a material called cullet(碎玻璃).

Glass manufacturers love cullet. It's cheaper than the raw materials they'd need to make new glass. It also melts at a lower temperature. That means they save energy during the production process. Glass manufacturers mix cullet with other materials like sand and soda ash. Then they heat it to over 2,600℉. This makes liquid glass, which can then be poured into a mold (模具). There, it cools and forms a finished glass product.

Most recycled glass is used to make new glass containers, such as jars and bottles. However, recycled glass can also find its way into all sorts of other products including a variety of construction products.

Do you recycle at home or school? What glass products should you be sure to recycle when you’ re done with them? With everyone doing their part, recycling glass can make a huge difference to the planet!

1. What is the first step in recycling glass?

A．Sorting it according to color.	B．Cleaning it with water.
C．Removing the color in it.	D．Breaking it into cullet.

2. Why do glass manufacturers love cullet?

A．It is easy to get.	B．It helps cut costs.
C．It can be easily broken.	D．It can be mixed with other materials.

3. Why does the author ask the questions in the last paragraph?

A．To call attention to home or school environment.

B．To help readers classify glass products at home.

C．To encourage glass recycling among readers.

D．To encourage readers to use fewer glass products.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Recyclable things that you might have ignored.

B．The difficulty in glass recycling.

C．How to recycle at home or school.
