Did you know that each day one person in the USA throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging (including boxes, bags, etc.) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.

Reduce To reduce means to make less rubbish. That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再利用的容器), taking smaller portions(份) at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.

Reuse to reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the shop. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the school next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!

Recycle(回收利用) Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish bins that can be recycled to make something else Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled. But food, electrical waste and mobile phones cant. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.

Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.

（1）、The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that ______.

A、packaging should be given up B、Italy is too dirty for us to visit C、the USA produces the most rubbish D、the Earth is becoming dirtier

（2）、If you want to reduce, you should ______.

A、make good use of your paper B、take a bath instead of a shower C、eat a small dinner every day D、pack your lunch with newspapers

（3）、The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags ______.

A、only as rubbish bags B、only for carrying other things C、mainly to have a cleaner world D、mainly to save some money

（4）、Which of the following can be recycled?

A、Food and bottles. B、Books and newspapers. C、Paper and mobile phones. D、Plastic and electrical waste.

     Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble—and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.
     ESP stands for（代表） Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
     Here is an example: A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then. a telegram came. The woman's father had died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
     There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
     A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There's room for one more.” The man felt the driver was dead, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There's room for one more.” Then the man saw the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
     Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others, including some scientists say that ESP is true. From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

Disasters happen all the time somewhere in the world. Are you ready if one hits your neighborhood next week? Find out what you need to do now before it is too late. Let's take an earthquake for example.
During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table. Don't leave the building during the shaking, or you might be hurt by falling objects from the outside of the building.
When you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens，simply roll off the bed. There will be a safe void around the bed.
If you are watching TV and you cannot easily run away by getting out through the door or window, then lie down and curl up(蜷伏) next to a sofa, or a large chair.
Never go to the stairs. The stairs are likely part of the building to be broken. Even if the stairs are not destroyed by the earthquake，they may fall down later when people run down.
Try to get into an open area away from trees，buildings，walls，advertisement boards and power lines if you are outdoors.
If you are driving when an earthquake suddenly happens，just stay in your car until the shaking ends. However, if the footbridge falls and breaks your car，get out of it and sit or lie next to it. All the broken cars have voids 3 feet high next to it.

    While watching movies, it's getting hard to tell what is and isn't real. Thanks to computers, movie makers can now use their full imaginations. There's even a new type of character--made entirely by computers—which is getting more and more screen time.
    Making the impossible look easy has always been a part of movie magic. As far back as 1895, filmmakers used special effects in movies. Over the years, many few techniques（技术） were developed. Then, starting in the 1970s, computers took their place at the center of the process.
    One of the first movies to widely use 3D computer generated（生成的，产生的） imagery (CGI) was Tron(1982). In the following years, more CGI characters were brought to life, one by one. Then, Jurassic park (1993) brought us an island full of man-eating dinosaurs. Shortly afterwards, Toy Story (1995) became the first cartoon made entirely with 3D CGI effects. It was a big hit, and audiences loved the characters.
    By using “motion capture” technology, filmmakers can make the movements of CGI humans even more lifelike. With this technique, a real actor wears sensors（感受器，传感器） on his face and body. The sensors record the actor's movements and send the information to a computer. Then the movements are given to a CGI character. This technique was used to make the creature（生物，有生命的东西） Gollum in the second and third The Lord of the Rings movies (2002, 2003). Other films, like Beowulf (2007), have also used motion capture to help create CGI humans.
    It is still rather easy to tell that a CGI human is not real. But the technology is improving every year. Over time, many problems ( like the teeth and eyes looking fake) will be solved. We will certainly see more CGI animals, monsters, and people in movies and TV shows. The question is – in the future, how many real actors will be put out of work by computer actors?

    Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
    In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used wate r from toilets, bathtubs and other places.
    To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally , a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
    In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.

Football is so popular in China. Almost everyone is interested in this sport—the young and the old, boys and girls, and now even robots.

Recently at Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, kids from several schools played football with their robots.

Robot football is very different from human football. Only two robots play in each match. The field is as big as a ping pong table. One half is black and the other is white. Each robot tries to catch the "football" and score a goal. The robot with more goals wins.

Gao Linge, a boy from Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, helped make one of the robots for the match.

"My school bought the main board (主板),"said Gao, 14. "Then I decided what my robot looked like and made a computer program for it."

Gao's robot was eight centimeters tall and had two arms. It had four sensors (传感器) to "see" and "kick" the "football".

Ying Xuehai, a 12-year-old student from Gao's school, also made a robot. His robot played against Gao's. The match decided who would go to the final game. Ying lost the game. So he gave many of his robot's parts to Gao.

Even so, Gao's robot didn't win the final. It played well in the first five minutes. Then it slowed down. By the end of the match, it could hardly move. What was wrong? Gao and Ying found the problem—the robot ran out of batteries (电池)!

"We'll solve the problem and beat the other schools next time!" said the two boys.
