Do you often drink bottled drinks? Of course 1 is so cool to get a cold one right out of the fridge, right? But all those plastic bottles use a lot of oil and 2 the environment. Americans buy 3 bottled water than any other nation in the world. In order to make all these bottles, 17 million barrels (桶) of oil 4up. That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.
Many people choose 5 the bottles away after having the bottled drinks. In fact, instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into carpeting for clothing. Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle 6save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.7 , for every six water bottles we use, only one is recycled. The rest are sent as garbage (垃圾). Or, even worse, they end up 8 trash on the land or in rivers and oceans.
So why don't more people drink water from the kitchen? Some people drink bottled water 9 they think it is better for them, but that's not true. The chemicals in the bottles themselves may get into the water which can do harm to people.
So next time when you have drinks or water, please 10 to use a glass at home or carry water in a steel bottle. And if you want to do something more, try to collect plastic bottles and send them for recycling.
Don't be too surprised if you see a car going down the road without a driver in Beijing these days. It might be one of Baidu's self-driving cars. Self-driving cars have been in development since 2010, when Google announced that it was making such cars. Since then, companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu have been working to produce and test their own self-driving cars. Self-driving cars are expected to change the way we get around. They are safer and more environmentally friendly than usual cars. They can remove the stress of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily. But self-driving cars have their own flaws (缺陷)as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer (激光棒)at the car's sensors (传感器)while it was moving. The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam(激光束）was in its way and slowed down or changed direction. Flaws like this could be used by people to trick self-driving cars.
The software (软件)that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough. It may crash (崩溃),When we use our computers or smart phones, they sometimes crash without any reason. But if this happened to a self-driving car, the results could be deadly. Improvements to the software could be a way to deal with this problem.
Anyway, whether you like it or not, it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.
According to the 2018 World Happiness Report, Denmark(丹麦）ranked (排名）No.3! And it's not surprising at all! In 2016, Denmark ranked No. l , then No.2 in 2017. In fact, Denmark has been on the list for many years. Why? Because people who live in Denmark know the secret to happiness— "hygge". But what is "hygge"？
The Danish(丹麦的）word "hygge" (pronounced "hoo-ga"）is often translated in English as "coziness". But "hygge" is more than that. It's also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar. It's about spending time alone or spending time with family.
Danish people are very good at "hygge". For example, they create a" hygge" environment by burning candles in classrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc. According to some reports, Danish people bum more candles every year than people from any other European country.
However, "hygge" isn't just about creating a nice and warm environment; it is best enjoyed with family members and friends. With up to 17 hours of darkness every day in winter, Danish people spend more time indoors as a result, and they often get together for a meal or hot drinks, without the distraction(使人分心的事物）of technology or the stress of daily life. Still can't understand what "hygge" is? If you're reading this in a comfortable chair, with a few candles around you, that sense of coziness you're feeling might just be "hygge".
①play computer games till midnight ②spend more time indoors as a result
③ stay up to work in their own rooms ④ often get together fora meal or hot drinks
