Sort trash, save Earth

You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting (垃圾分类) policy. People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins (垃圾箱). Other cities in China will do the same soon.

Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai

Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, boxes, newspapers, and glass bottles.

Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries (电池), nail polish (指甲油), and other things with harmful chemicals.

Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food, vegetables, flowers, leaves and eggshells.

Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins. It includes pens, toilet paper, tape, hair, and towels (毛巾).

Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It’s because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil, air and water. Actually we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage.

For example, if you put an old battery into the “harmful waste” bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.

Can factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and costs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier.

● Garbage sorting and recycling around the world.

Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back. You can get one to two yuan per bottle. People like this because they can get money and protect the environment at the same time.

Japan: A trash truck comes to people’s doors to pick up their garbage. It plays music when it’s coming. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them wrong, you will get a notice on your door.

Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles, five medium (中等大小的) bottles or 10 plastic cups. But the bottles must be clean.

When you watch your favorite movies, you might not think about science. Of course, there’s a lot of science behind movies like Interstellar or The Martian but not movies like Frozen or The Avengers, right? Think again.

Animated(动画) movies use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting(融化) or blowing in the wind.

Mathematicians（数学家）had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. Joseph Teran, a mathematician at the University of California, US, faced this challenge with Frozen, according to the Society for Science and the Public.

He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies had done in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this.

Science is important for superhero movies too. Superheroes are supposed to have special powers that can’t always be explained. But moviemakers still want to make their actions realistic(现实的).

For example, Raychelle Burks, a chemistry professor from the American Chemical Society, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Man’s suit is possible because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie , Tony Stark also makes new elements by making atoms collide(使原子对撞)，much like scientists do in real life.

So next time you see a movie, don’t forget to think about the science behind it.

1.A lot of science and math are used in animated movies to _______.

A. make them like Interstellar and The Martian

B. make the audience think about science

C. make things as realistic as possible

D. make snow smelt or blow in the wind

2.The example of The Avengers in Paragraph 6 is used to show_______.

A. how superheroes have super powers

B. how science makes action realistic

C. Iron Man’s suit is made of light materials

D. how Tony Stark makes new elements

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Every movie should be made to look as realistic as possible.

B. Science and math play important roles in movie making.

C. Animated movies use less science than other movies.

D. Scientists can make things in movies become real.

How much do you know about Chicago, lllinois, in the United States? You might think it’s a big city. And it is Chicago is actually the third most populous city in the US, right after New York City and Los Angeles according to the US 2010 Census. “The Windy City” is Chicago’s most famous nickname (绰号). It is for good reason. The city lies right next to Lake Michigan and heavy gusts (一阵风) of wind blow through the city.

Chicago is very well known for its art and culture. In fact, TripAdvisor says that the Art Institute of Chicago is the No. 1 place to visit in the city. It is not only a school, but also a world—class art museum.

If you don’t feel like visiting a museum, your best choice is to go to Millennium Park. This is one of my personal favorites. This park holds the famous Cloud Gate, and it looks kind of like a big reflective (反光的) bean. Many people enjoy taking photos in its reflection.

Chicago also offers other fun things to do. If you enjoy heights, go visit the famous Willis Tower! You can go up to the top of it and step out onto a glass box. You’ll be standing over the city, but don’t worry — it’s completely safe. Doesn’t Chicago sound like a fun city?

1.回答问题If you have one day off in Chicago, what will you do for fun? Why?

2.找出划线单词“it”所指代的内容。

3.从文中找出与“The population of Chicago is just smaller than New York and Los Angeles in the US.”意思相同或相近的句子。

4.翻译句子“Chicago is very well known for its art and culture.”

5.请给文章拟一个标题。

When you hear about trees cut for paper, you might think of your favorite trees in the backyard, nearby parks or wild forests being cut to pieces.

the good news is that production and use of paper will not cause forests to disappear. Most trees used for paper come from timberlands(林地). People plant trees here for use. It usually takes 10 to 20 years for trees to grow big enough to be cut down. During that time, trees provide a home for animals and produce oxygen(氧气) for the earth. And after people cut down the big trees, they plant small ones again.

Often, a tree is not cut down for making paper at all. People use the big part for buildings. Paper is then made from the left small part.

We also recycle paper—People collect used paper and turn it into new products, likes boxes, newsprint and writing paper, in the factory. So it’s important for us to recycle paper and reduce(减少) the amount(数量) of it in landfills(垃圾处理场).
