If you knew a bottle of water had been recycled from urine (尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) may soon do so. The USNASA (美国宇航局) said it would use a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater at the ISS. The machine will recycle everything from sweat, the water for washing hands and brushing teeth, shower water and even urine, to make drinking water.
It will save NASA millions of dollars each year. The machine will be sent to the ISS in October2022. NASA expects it will recycle about 93% of all water used on the station. Will the water be clean? Scientists say it will be very difficult to make the wastewater clean. But the recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap, scientists say.

If you knew a bottle of water had been recycled from urine (尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) may soon do so. NASA (美国航空航天局) said it would use a high-tech machine (高科技机器) to recycle wastewater at the ISS.

The machine will be sent to the ISS in October 2008. NASA hopes it will recycle about 93% of all water used on the station. Will the water be clean? Scientists say the wastewater will go through a very complicated process (复杂的过程).

Give water, save lives
A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾) areas in China.
Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially in Yunnan . Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked, and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.
After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things.
Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.
The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water.
Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.
“I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don' t have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really sad about that," said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water.”he said.

______________________________________________ !

Today’s world is full of plastic goods, from water bottles to car parts. We make plastic toys, toothbrushes, and shopping bags. Plastic is so useful that it’s hard to imagine life without it, but it has not been around that long.
The first plastic was invented in 1869. That’s when American John Wesley Hyatt made a form of plastic from a plant material called cellulose. Before long, his discovery was used to make combs, eyeglasses, buttons, and film.
In the 1900s, petroleum products such as oil replaced cellulose. New kinds of plastic were discovered in the 1950s, and that’s when the real boom began. People started to use plastic in many fields instead of the old materials. Plastics quickly replace paper, glass, metal, and wood in a growing number of products. In 1960, the United States made 6 billion pounds of plastic. By 1988, the output had grown to 50 billion pounds. These days, almost 10 percent of the oil America uses every year is turned into plastic. That’s 2 million barrels of oil a day.
Most of the plastic ever made still exists. Unlike wood, metal, and paper, plastic does not break down easily. Some people think plastic will never break down. Others say it may take 500 or 1,000 years. No one knows for sure because it has been around for too short a time. But if George Washington had used plastic water bottles in the 1700s, those bottles would probably still be around.
Although plastic lasts a long time, we don’t keep plastic products very long. We use them and throw them away. Only about 5 percent of plastic is recycled. A huge amount of it ends up floating in the ocean. Then seabirds, seals, turtles, whales and fish eat it. Scientists often find sea animals that have starved（饿）to death with their stomachs full of plastic. And every time it rains, more trash from city streets flushes into the sea. Much of that trash is plastic.
What can we do about plastic? First, be aware. Oil takes millions of years to form. Should we use up this precious fuel to make flimsy shopping bags that are used once and thrown away? Should any animal pay for our convenience with its life? Each person’s actions can make a difference. It’s time to act now.
1.What can we know about plastic?
A. Plastic is now widely used in every area of our daily life.
B. America holds the leading position in the world-wide use of plastic.
C. Plastic can last for more than 300 years and will never break down.
D. About 95% of plastic is used once and then thrown away.
2.Which detail supports the idea that plastic can be dangerous?
A. Animals starve to death after eating plastic.
B. Much of that trash is plastic.
C. About 10 percent of the oil we use every year is made into plastic.
D. John Wesley Hyatt made the first plastic from cellulose.
3.The underlined word “replace” in paragraph 3 means “______”.
A. Take the charge of B. Increase in value C. Take the place of D. Decrease in value
4.What might be written in the following paragraph?
A. Reasons about why we should use less plastic.
B. Criticism on those who make and buy plastic.
C. Tips for using plastic in the environmental friendly way.
D. Difference between using plastic and other materials.
5.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Amazing Plastic. B. Dangerous Plastic. C. Useless Plastic. D. New Plastic
