Anyone wanting to throw away their mobile phone can do it in style（时尚地）and may even win a medal－at the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship.

Originally a local event in a small town close to the Russian border，the fifteenth annual contest drew many throwers from as far as Canada，Russia and Belgium.

Founder Christine Lund describes the event as a good source of light exercise with an environmentally-friendly activity. “There are a lot of mobile phones on the second-hand market，and we are recycling them（before they become poisonous waste），”she said.

The inventive Finns had already given the world the Sauna World Championships and the Wife Carrying Competition before coming up with a new way to make mobile phones even more mobile.

This year’s gold medal went to Finland’s Lassi Etelatalo，who threw a waste Nokia unit a forceful 89.00 meters. “I prepared by javelin（标枪）throwing，I haven’t really practiced throwing mobile phones，”Etelatalo said.

Lund says competitors all have their favorite throwing brand. “People choose by size，by color or by how it fits in the hand……Some believe a heavy model will ensure a long throw，some want a light one.”

1.According to the passage，we can infer that _______.

A.the contest originated in Russia

B.the contest it held every four years

C.the contest started from the year 2000

D.this year’s gold medal was gotten by Finland’s Lassi Etelatalo

In the rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or decide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick them up within 5 seconds after dropping them.

But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds is all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria（细菌）to make you sick.

Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If you eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, you can become sick.

One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Salmonella is often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods thoroughly.

But how long does it take these bacteria to pollute food? A team of scientists in South Carolina did an experiment. First, they placed an amount of Salmonella on three surfaces; wood, tile (瓦片), and carpet. They placed a piece of bread and a piece of bologna（一种大红肠）on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and the bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.

So, forget the 5-second rule. If your toast drops on the floor, throw it away and get another piece of clean toast. And this time, be careful not to drop it!

1.In which part of a newspaper can you most probably find this passage?

A. Culture                  B. Health                    C. Advertisement              D. Technology

2. After dropping a piece of toast, a person who follows the “5-second rule” will         .

A. throw away dirty toast immediately and go away

B. pick up the toast as quickly as possible and eat it

C. eat the toast within 5 seconds and feel pleased

D. get another piece of clean toast quickly and eat it

3.The scientists in South Carolina did the experiment to __________ .

A. see how quickly bacteria can pollute food

B. show that the 5-second rule is correct

C. see how harmful bacteria are to people’s health

D. show that bacteria grow at different speeds on different foods

A sunflower is a sunflower . A mobile phone is a mobile phone . But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?

As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable (能进行生物递降分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists.

Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸钾). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. Engineers have designed a small transparent window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. "We've only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time," said one scientist.

As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly  throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists. "The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you don't have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it," said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.

1. The main idea of the passage is ________ .

2. The purpose of introducing a biodegradable mobile phone is ______ .

3. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word ?

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true ?
