In the United States, people throw away 500 million plastic straws(吸管) every day! They are enough to circle the Earth twice. Unluckily, they are almost never recycled, because they are too small.

Now, plastic straws are the aim of environmental movements. Among them is Be Straw Free. A 23-year-old young man, Milo Cress, started the movement at the age of 16. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would come with a straw,” he said. “This seems like a huge waste.”

Cress started by asking restaurants in his home city to stop providing straws if customers do not ask for one. Many of them agreed. Over the years, restaurants in the United States joined the movement. On average, they use 50-80 percent fewer plastic straws than they used to.

In other countries, there are similar movements. In the United Kingdom, many restaurants now use paper straws instead of plastic ones. The British government is planning to ban all plastic waste by 2042.

Abbreviations(缩写) are now widely used in our daily lives. Here are some of them. Are you familiar with them?

R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, “répondez, s'il vous plaît,” which means “please reply.” If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation, it means the invited guest must tell the host(主人) whether or not they plan to attend the party as soon as possible. Because the hosts who are planning a dinner party or a wedding need to know how many people to count on and how much food and drink to buy. More important, though, it is polite to reply someone who was nice enough to invite you, even if it is to say that you are sorry that you will not be able to attend.

B.Y.O.B. has been used first in the early 1970s to mean “bring your own bottle (of wine)”, although in present-day it is just as likely to mean “bring your own booze” or “bring your own beer”. It was used by small restaurants that was not allowed to sell wine. But now B.Y.O.B. is often placed on an invitation to tell the guests that the host will not be providing wine and that guests are welcome to bring their own.

R.I.P stands for “rest in peace” in English, The phrase was not found before the 8th century. It became ubiquitous(普遍现象) on the tombs of Christians in the 18th century, Now, it is always written on tombstones to express the wish of forever rest and peace to someone who has died.

P.K. means “Player Killing” originally. The word P.K. is now also used in China and Taiwan as a verb(动词). In fact, there may actually be no player killing. It is most used in 1v1 situations like 1v1 basketball, 1v1 chess, 1v1 footrace and so on. P.K. can also be used in situations where one team is against another in a 1 team vs 1 team competition like in the NBA, soccer, baseball and so on.

1.If you receive a party invitation with R.S.V.P., you ______.

A. have to go to the party　　 B. should reply as soon as possible

C. have to buy some food　　 D. should make plans for the party

2.R.I.P. is used to someone who ______.

A. holds a party　　 B. likes drinking beer　　 C. has been dead　　 D. joins in a game

3.______ will be used when there is a competition between two teams.

A. R.S.V.P.　　 B. B.Y.O.B.　　 C. R.I.P　　 D. P.K.

4.The writer wants to introduce some foreign ______to us by writing this passage.

A. cultures　　 B. histories　　 C. science　　 D. stories

What are magic words? Words like ‘thank you’, ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ can work wonders in our daily life. These polite expressions are used every day in American – among strangers, between friends or with family. People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words.

What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday?你最好坐下来写一封感谢信。68. The words ‘thank you’ are very important and used very often. We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a drinks, or lends us an umbrella.

‘Please’ is another important word, but many people forget to use it. It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying ‘please’. We are supposed to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book, a pen, or more milk. It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop. We can use ‘please’ to make a request（请求）pleasant.

我们也应该学会说‘对不起’。If we have hurt someone’s feeling, we will have to say ‘sorry’. When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used. Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. ‘sorry’ is such a word that can make people forget wrongs.

‘Thank you! Please! Sorry!’ – these words are simple but useful. Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kids.
