As the world's population continues to increase, so does the amount of global waste people produce. According to data collected by the World Bank Group, nations are on pace to produce 4 billion tons of waste every year by 2100. Many experts are calling the problem of global waste a worldwide health crisis（危机）because it is ruining the world's oceans, air and soil and endangering the health of all living things.

For years, governments have been telling people that living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go. One example of this is what's often called the three R's: reduce, reuse recycle. In that case, less money is spent on waste management. Such positive effects on an economy（经济）as a result of applying the basic rules of reduce, reuse and recycle-is known as a circular economy.

Now some stores are helping people do that. Sometimes, grocery stores produce waste when they throw away food including fruit and vegetables that don't look good any more.In other cases, it's packaged food that is nearing the "sell-by" date printed on the package which is not considered safe to eat. To solve this problem, business people are opening smaller zero-waste stores. Instead of selling food in packages, these stores offer it in open containers. Customers bring their own bags or clean containers to the store. There, they fill their bags or containers with everything from nuts and rice to oil and sauce. They pay for only the amount of each product that they need. Zero-waste stores often sell fruit and vegetables as well. When these goods start to look old, they're sold at a discount or donated to a charity Inspired by these smaller zero-waste stores, some large supermarkets are taking similar steps to reduce the amount of waste that they produce.

By following a circular system, more products than ever are being produced using recycled materials. For example, used tires（轮胎）can be recovered to pave roads, while plastic is reused to make new plastic products. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to protect and save natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. Recycling can truly turn garbage into gold.

1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？ ______

A.To explain the experts' opinion.

B.To discuss the reason of the problem.

C.To draw people's attention on the problem.

D.To introduce a research of the World Bank Group.

2.We can infer from the passage that ______.

A.grocery stores sell bad-looking food cheaper

B.some supermarkets will sell food without packages

C.governments decided to spend less money on recycling

D.customers will pay for the containers in zero-waste stores

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Zero Waste, Full Recycle.

B.Less Garbage, More Gold.

C.Global Waste, a Worldwide Crisis.

D.Zero-waste Stores, Garbage Killer.

These days, when the world seems to be hard to control, walking can make you feel peaceful. It gives you a chance to slow down, to relax and to appreciate yourself and your life in general. It helps you slow down enough to breathe deeply, to calm your thoughts, and to research the natural world filled with wonders. And yes, to love yourself more.

Try to spend one day for a long travel on foot—far from the requirements of work and family. First, choose a date and mark it as your “relaxing day”. Next, choose a place that you want to visit on foot. If you enjoy being out in nature, head to a wide and open place. Try to choose a place that’s no more than 15 minutes from your home. You want to spend your time walking, not driving.

Walk at an easy speed so you can walk longer and farther. If you normally walk two miles a day, go for four to six miles. Wear comfortable clothes. If it’s warm, wear a hat to protect your face. And don’t forget your sunglasses— not only to protect your eyes but also to give you a sense of privacy while you walk.

Before you go out, get up early so you can spend a few minutes relaxing. Relaxing is something few people spend in their spare time, but it leaves you feeling much lighter and less annoyed. Read something relaxing before you leave home, and it’ll put you in a different condition of mind. And, of course, eat a healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water. Then pick up your backpack and head out. And enjoy yourself.

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain isdamagedwhen they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

1.How many people in the world are left-handed now?

A.Less than one sixth.

B.More than a half.

C.About 40%.

D.The passage doesn’t tell us.

2.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage?

A.knocked B.changed C.broke D.harmed

3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

B.Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

C.Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D.Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
