When throwing away rubbish,do you know which bin it should go into? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins on the street.

Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's quite important to know how to sort(分类)your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment. If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried( 埋葬)together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could be used for planting trees.The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries(电池), can pollute the land and groundwater. Other piece of rubbish, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make into other things if they are properly recycled(循环利用).

With this in mind, our school is now asking every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our school yard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste which includes things like medicine, batteries and so on. The blue is for waste like paper, metal, glass and other things that can be recycled. The green is for kitchen waste which is known as wet waste, such as food and soup left after having meals. The yellow is for other dry waste like plastic bags. Dry waste is not wet, recyclable or harmful.

Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.

1.A landfill is a place________.

A.to plant trees B.to bury waste C.to save enery D.to sort waste

2.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us________.

A.the importance of sorting waste B.the use of batteries

On May 27th, the national cultural office dropped management of vendors and other roadside businesses in the city as a requirement for deciding if ạ city can be given the civilized city" title. In less than a week, one city after another has introduced polices (政策) that will benefit (使受益 )vendors and a wide group of other people and will also raise the economy (经济).

The first to benefit are job—seekers. In Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, which is famous for its rich kinds of snacks, the policy created 100,000 new jobs overnight, and 100,000 households have got a better income.

Vendors do not have to spend money renting ( 租用) a place. All they need is a 2 square meters of space by the roadside for two to three hours in the evening. And all the money they make from it goes to them or their families. However, that does not mean common shops will lose customers. The two kinds of businesses are different parts of economy.

Office——goers too will benefit. Instead of having to wait in a long line at a supermarket, they can now snack from a vendor after a whole day in the office. They can appear from a subway station and grab a cake or get off a bus and buy some handmade ice—cream.

City management officials, or chengguan are also doing less stressful jobs now. Earlier, their job was to drive away vendors doing businesses without licenses. They are now more helpful, making sure that vendors are dealing with their garbage before shutting business for the day and looking for space for vendors at a place with no traffic problems or which won' t cause traffic problems.

But that will need more wisdom and more services to the people, which in turn requires the local governments' wisdom. Time for them to be creative!

1.What does the underlined word vendors mean in Chinese?

A.店主 B.民工 C.小贩

2.How many kinds of people will benefit from the new policy on vendors according to the passage?

A.2. B.3. C.4.

3.The city management officials now do the following jobs EXCEPT ________.

A.driving away the vendors

B.looking for a safe space for vendors

C.asking the vendors to sort garbage

4.We can infer from the passage that

A.the office—goers do not have to wait in line at a supermarket anymore

B.the vendors can do businesses anywhere they want

C.the government is becoming more and more supportive

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.How about being a vendor? B.Our convenient life C.How to be a vendor?

If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a “lesson” in sorting（分类）garbage, as the city introduced new garbage-sorting rule on July 1, 2019.

As China’s first city to carry out this strict rule on garbage sorting and recycling, Shanghai requires its people to sort garbage to four types — recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they will be fined up to 200 yuan.

Since the rule took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced by an average of 15,500 tons, dropping 26 percent from the end of 2018, while the average daily weight of recyclables hits 4,500 tons, five times higher than the end of 2018, according to the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative Bureau（管理局）.

The city also rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40,000 waste bins have been updated（更新）. The city’s waste collection and transportation system is complete, according to the bureau.

“Proper waste sorting protects the environment and saves natural resources,” said Deng Jianping, director of the bureau. “Led by the central government, Shanghai is making efforts to develop long-term solutions to garbage management.”

However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dropping. According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin.

This waste separation is necessary, as it ensures（确保）that the wet garbage will decompose（分解）properly and become useful organic waste, the bureau said.

Plastic bags can affect this process. Some people in Shanghai are instead using paper bags that can biodegrade（生物降解）or plastic bags that can be washed and reused, according to Xinhua.

1.People in Shanghai are asked to sort their garbage into the ______ types.

A.recyclable, dry, harmful and kitchen waste

B.recyclable, kitchen, dry and other “waste”

C.harmful, recyclable, dry and “other” waste
