Rethinking on Sorting of Waste

Waste sorting is becoming increasingly common around the world.It has slowly moved into the center of discussion on the future of business and sustainable(可持续的) development.It may seem like a tiny activity, but is indeed quite complex.Waste sorting is no doubt an important step toward a global circular economy(循环经济) and an environment-friendly society.

In the coming years, the world is supposed to clear out the use of fossil fuels(化学燃料), become more resource- efficient and ensure greater equity(公平).Waste sorting can play a key role in achieving these goals. However, what we need and expect is very different from what we are taking now.Waste sorting in some areas is working reasonably well, for example the glass and metal industries.But when we are looking at global sustainability, there is a need to rethink waste sorting.

The world seems to be in a dilemma.It is no longer clear if the kind of waste sorting done in western nations is part of the problem or the solution.Much of the recycled waste is turned into low-value goods in a way that does not result in a completely reduced use of natural resources.People around the world have begun to realize that much of the waste they sort is not perfect in sustainable material flows.Instead, it is shipped to poor countries, without being used in a correct way.

A waste sorting system for the 21st century should build on the high technology that allows citizens to know more about what is happening to the waste they are sorting.It should also require companies to show how resources-efficient their solutions are In this way, consumers(消费者)will be able to compare choices.

China could start in the next generation of waste sorting systems- those that help citizens to know more about what is happening to the waste they are sorting.Such a waste sorting system would be a driver for innovation and resource efficiency and a true step toward a greener global village.

Waste sorting(垃圾分类) is a big matter worldwide. In order to sort the rubbish properly and protect the environment, people in different countries are using different methods to sort their waste.

UK　　　 A UK company invented a “smart bin” to help with waste sorting. People just need to drop their waste into the bin(垃圾箱). A camera and sensors(感应器) in the bin can tell what type of rubbish it is and correctly sort it. The bin also compresses(压缩) the waste so it takes up less space.

South Korea　　　 South Korea is using a method called “Pay For Your Waste” to encourage its people to reduce food waste. When throwing away rubbish, people have to separate their food waste from their other rubbish and put it in a bin. The smart bin then weighs the food. People have to pay for their food waste by scanning(扫描) a barcode(条形码) on the bin. If they throw away more rubbish, they will pay more.

Japan　　 Japan is leading the world in waste sorting. They sort waste so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Different types of paper products have their own bins.

China　　 China is improving its waste sorting efforts. Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account(账户)”service for its residents(居民). The city is asking all of its residents to sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Rubbish sorting (分类) probably doesn't sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it-Meet Sortee.

Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.

The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label (标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.

The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.

There are 400 0bjects in total and more than 100 bins in the game.　 The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center,　 but it has no bad smell.

You can download the free game from Apple's app store (苹果软件下载中心),　 but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.

1.The passage is probably taken from __　　 __.

A. a postcard　　　　 B. a newspaper　　　　 C. a comic book　　　　 D. a novel

2.Which of the following can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A. You can play the full game for free.　

B. You can play the full game easily.

C. There are only 2 bins in each level.　　

D. There are over 40 levels in the game.

3. What's the best title of the passage?

A. A mobile game.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 B. Rubbish sorting.

C. Apple's app store.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. A recycling center.

阅读下面一则关于“垃圾分类”的指南, 补全学校学生会的倡议书。

Garbage sorting is a big project worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it. People are asked to sort garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable（可回收的）, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is things you don't want but that pigs can eat.

Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine and batteries.

Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the "dry waste" bin.

If you don't sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾填埋场）. These landfills will take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things.

Dear students,

What do you do with the garbage? If all the garbage is put into one bin and go to a landfill, it will not only waste land but also 1. the soil and groundwater. Garbage2. can solve the problems. We can sort our garbage into 3. bins: the used batteries should be thrown into the“4.”bin；The metal parts of the broken pens should be grouped into the "recyclable" bin; When we have some leftover food, we should throw them into the “5..”bin; The other waste will go into the "dry waste" bin. In a word, let's take action!

Sincerely,

The Student Union
