Changing the world does not only mean finding a medicine for cancer or finding the origin of human beings, but recycling a piece of paper as well. 1. . What follows are three simple ways we can go green and change the world.
Recycle
Every day about 63 million newspapers go out, and 44 million of them are thrown away. By recycling the newspaper alone we could save half a million trees a week. New phones, iPods, or computers are created every day. 2. . By taking them to the local stores that collect them, they can go to people who don’t have enough money to buy one.
Go vegetarian one day a week
According to the scientists at New York University, if the whole population skips one meal of chicken, the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off roads in the US. 3. .
Refuse bottled water
Most people drink bottled water because they think that bottled water is healthier than tap water. However, 25% of the bottled water actually comes from tap water. Not only are you drinking the same water as the water in your house but you are paying more. 4. . So it is necessary to use reusable water bottles instead of plastic water bottles.
Changing the world had to start from small things. 5.. However, every little helps a mickle(多量). Keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
A. So give up just one day of eating meat.
B. One of the most serious threats to our planet is plastic pollution.
C. Going green is a way that we can have a meaningful influence on the world.
D. Also plastic bottles will cause plastic pollution.
E. It may seem as if the small changes are not influencing the world.
F. But what happens to the old ones?
G. Actually there is little or no difference between bottled water and tap water.

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you,since nearly 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water.But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water.Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers,lakes,underground,and other sources.And we cannot even use all of that,because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glacier.Even worse,some of it has been polluted.
However,as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.But our need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day.Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water.One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.
Today in most large cities,water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system.From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks.But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying plant.There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again,just as if it were fresh from a spring.
But even if every large city purified and reused its water,we still would not have enough.All we'd have to do make use of the vast reserves of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.
1.The world is thirsty for water because we can only use________ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth.
A.3 B.more than 3 C.less than 3 D.97
2.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.As things remain unchanging,this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.
B.Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.
C.There will be no water shortage in the future.
D.We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.
3.To reuse water, we should ________.
A.treat it with chemicals B.use it only once
C.send it out into a sewer system D.make it flow into underground tanks
4.In order to have enough water.we should also make use of________.
