You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策). People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.
Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our environment. In fact, we can make use of some garbage again. But first, we need to sort it.
For example, if you put an old battery (电池) into the "harmful waste" bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don't, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.
Garbage sorting and recycling around the world
Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back.
Japan: A truck playing music comes to people's doors to pick up their garbage. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them wrong, you will get a notice on your door.
Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus-stations. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles.
Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai
Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, plastic items, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries, and other things with harmful chemicals (化学品). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food and vegetables. Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins, pens and towels, for example.

A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States. The book contains (包含) the name, photo, and signature (签名) of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this. They thought, "Why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people's music tastes, the movies they like, and so on."
Catherine thought of the name—myYearbook.com, and the logo (图标). To advertise the site. Catherine and David wore T-shirts with the site logo to school and soon hundreds of their schoolmates became users of the site. She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.
My Yearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and "collecting" friends. They can watch the same videos from films and TV programs, and share music, photos, homework and study guides. Some teens feel they can't make friends more easily online. Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.
Users can also make "Lunch Money" by doing activities on the site. They can then spend their Lunch Money on gifts, or donate (捐赠) it to charities. They have saved 0.3 km2of rainforest, cleaned up million kg of CO2, sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food.
Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from finishing their schoolwork successfully, and going on to university where they still spent 50 hours a week on the site.

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires. There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation (辐射) given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees' navigation systems (导航系统). Bees have built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives. But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. It is believed they are dying far from their hives.
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them. Without bees, the crops can't continue to grow. Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, London beekeeper, said to the reporter, "My business is becoming worse. Twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty."
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not, but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers. And we can't manage without them. Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it right now—before it's too late.
41．What might be caused by mobiles according to Paragraph 1?
A．Poor listening. B．The forest fires. C．The disappearance of bees. D．Terrible toothache.
42．What does the theory in the passage say?
A．Bees have GPS inside their bodies. B．Mobiles have an influence on bees' hives.
C．The radiation makes bees unable to fly. D．The radiation makes bees lose their way home.
43．The underlined word "pollinate" probably means "________" in Chinese.
A．授粉 B．污染 C．啃食 D．催熟
44．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A．Crops will stop growing. B．Beekeepers' business is getting worse.
C．Bees' disappearing is a serious problem. D．Beekeepers in Europe found the problem first.
45．The author wrote this passage to ________.
A．call on people to help beekeepers B．show how a bee's built-in system works
C．ask people to stop using mobiles right away D．warn people of the possible harm mobiles do to bees

However, I told the gentleman that the door had an automatic (自动) opener, and that it can open by 58． (it). He said, "I thought would have a chance to be helpful."

Erin, an American woman, was born in Kansas. In 1990, when she was thirty years old, she was in a car accident. A law company helped her after the accident, and later she started to work for them.
Her job was to organize papers. One day Erin realized that there were lots of papers about some very sick people in a place called Hinkley. She started to look for more information about the town.
Erin worked very hard for five years. She visited lots of sick people in Hinkley and listened to their stories. All the people lived near a big factory and she discovered that there was a chemical called chromium in the local water. It was from the factory. Erin believed that the people were sick because of the chromium in their drinking water. She planned to help them.
Erin started law case(官司) against the factory. The factory didn’t agree that the people were ill because of the water, but in 1996 the judge(法官) ordered the factory to pay the people in Hinkley $500,000 each (there were about 600 sick people, so that was $333 million in total).
In 2000, there was a film about Erin, and it was very successful. Now Erin is famous — she has her own company and she gives talks all over the world.
