When you hear the word “recycling”, what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?
What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the recycling of ideas.
Environmental unrest is not the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world.
Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I’m guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever increasing mass of digital smog.
The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated, leaving you nothing but a pile of mess.
In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond “just recycled”. Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbours’ ideas.
For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create, because the death of recycling starts with YOU.
1.Which is true about top bloggers of today according to the writer?
A. They often recycle their ideas.
B. They tend to express many fresh ideas.
C. They are not worth much respect.
D. They make good use of others’ ideas.
2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 5?
A. many and good B. useful but not enough C. many but not good D. beneficial
3.This passage is written mainly for ________.
A. top bloggers B. common bloggers
C. environmental polluters D. net researchers
4.The main purpose of this passage is ________.
A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection
B. to prove that the web environment is becoming worse and worse
C. to warn people not to pollute our web environment with bad words
D. to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating

When it comes to travelling around Europe, it's important to have a budget in mind. Here are some tips for getting the most out of Germany while saving your money.
Transport
Transport is “the big one” and cycling may be the cheapest alternative among all the modes(方式) of transport.
Tom Bourlet, a Brighton-based travel blogger at Spaghetti Traveller, talked to us about transport in Germany and advised that slower, regional(区域的) trains will be more affordable in comparison to those that are high-speed.
He continued, “If choosing a train journey, buy the ticket several months in advance to get a great offer.”
If you intend to use the Eurostar train, keep in mind that you can save money by buying tickets at least a week in advance. Shopping around can also offer reduced prices. A daily or weekly card for a train or a bus may also be worth investing in. Bourlet continues, “While the trains run like clock-work with high efficiency, the buses run relatively slowly, often arriving late to their destination.”
Ask a travel agent
In an age of technology, we don't always consider going to a travel agent when booking on holiday. If you do, ask them for recommendations, they can give you insider tips. Make sure that they are aware of your set budget before signing up to anything.
Food
Region to region, Germany's cuisine will differ slightly. As a general rule, outside the city centre will be cheaper—the further you go, the less expensive it is. Bear this in mind when setting a daily budget for your meals.
Landmarks
Make sure you book your tickets for the landmarks before your trip as there's likely to be a discount when you do this. You may also want to consider a guided tour which is often free.
Before you go
Make sure you buy currency before you leave. This could prevent you being charged extra for withdrawing money and you're more likely to get a good exchange rate.
1.Which transport is probably the cheapest to travel in Germany?
A.Regional trains. B.High-speed trains.
C.City buses. D.Bicycles.
2.What can we know about the Eurostar train?
A.It runs relatively slowly.
B.The meals on it must be expensive.
C.Travelers can enjoy a discount when shopping around.
D.Booking tickets three days in advance may save your money.
3.In which section of a website may the text appear?
A.Travel. B.Lifestyle.
C.Science. D.Entertainment.
