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 the city to a dump(垃圾站). 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 water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) 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(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.

   People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect” human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on.
   Some people carry on active social lives with computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms, computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places.
   With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a way of sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users, the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes them want to write better.
   Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to starting the coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct” a microwave oven how to cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off.
   Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media ( i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer) going to control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the genentic engineering of food have on people's health? High-tech medical treatments can make a person live a much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings? Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technology will continue to move forward.

I'm Peter. My family will have a sale at my yard on Saturday. It will be from 10: 00 am to 6: 00pm. We have lots of things on sale because my parents want to make our house look new.

l want to sell my bookcase(书柜). It's orange, my favourite colour. But it is too small for me. I have lots of books about history and science. I have no place to put them.

l also want to change my chair, because it's uncomfortable and I don't like the green colour. And I have to sell my desk too. It is the same colour as the chair. My yellow curtains(窗帘)don't look very good. They are old. I hope to have new curtains. I also want to sell my old brown bed. But my parents don't think it is OK.

Are you free this Saturday? Please come to my house and have a look.

①There is an old Chinese saying,"If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should return a spring of water." That means if someone helps you a bit, you should remember it and thank him or her gratefully(感激地)in return.

②The most important thing is to thank our parents. They work hard all the time to give their sons and daughters a better life. They cook meals for us, and they also do the chores for us. They always give us food and clothes. They teach us what is right and what is wrong.

③Don't forget teachers who give us dreams. They teach us a lot of things but they ask for nothing from us. Their work makes us a full man.

④Meanwhile, anyone we meet in our lives deserves (值得) our thanks. We thank people who hurt us, because we learn important lessons from them. We thank people who give us up, because they make us more independent(独立的). We thank people who are selfish(自私的), because we learn the importance of being kind. Of course, we should thank people who help us out.

⑤There are a lot of people that we should be grateful to in our lives. Find a way to show our thanks with actions, not just words.

Travel and tourism(旅游) are very important to millions of people all over the world. It's important to some countries too. They need the money from tourism to help their people live better.

However, travel and tourism cause many problems. Planes, buses, boats and other ways of transportation that carry travellers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, some people do things on holiday that they would never think of doing at home. For example, many travellers use a lot of water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They forget to turn off the lights or even leave televisions and air-conditions on when they leave the room. That's why it is important for people to travel wisely and respect(尊重) the places they visit.

There are ways you can travel and be environmentally friendly. Here are some tips to help you.

●Don't throw rubbish anywhere. Use bins(垃圾桶). Don't throw anything into the sea, especially plastic bags. Every year many sea animals die because of plastic bags.

●Don't waste water or electricity. Many parts of the world have not got enough water.

●Don't buy any products made from endangered animals.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①"Hey, want to do something great with old soft drink cans?""Sure, let's use them to go to the moon!"

②I know that sounds crazy. After all, you can't build an Apollo rocket from old soda cans. However, if you recycle enough cans, you can save as much energy as there is inside a real Apollo rocket. Enough power to reach the Moon!

③Soft drink cans are made of aluminum(铝). Making this metal requires a lot of energy. Aluminum begins as bauxite ore(铝土矿). The ore must be extracted(采掘), crushed(粉碎), and smelted(炼取). Producing soft drink cans needs about 1% of all the electricity used in the USA. Americans use more than 100 billion soft drink cans every year!

④Can we do better? Yes, we can, by recycling. While it takes lots of energy to produce new aluminum, it takes very little energy to turn old aluminum into new products. The metal is simply shredded(撕碎), melted(融化) and recast(再铸) into blocks(大块). By recycling, we can produce 20 soft drink cans using the same energy it would take to make just 1 new can.

⑤Nationwide(在全国), about 100,000 cans get recycled every minute. To be exact, in 90 minutes, the energy saved by rècycling is: E gained by recycling=2000,000 joules(焦耳, 能量单位)*9000, 000cans=18 trillion.

⑥That's a lot of energy. What can we do with that much energy? Can we reach the moon? It does sound crazy. But do you know how much energy do we need to send a rocket to the moon?

15.7 trillion.

⑦Now, compare two values for energy. See? The energy saved by recycling old soft drink cans is more than enough energy to send a rocket to the Moon. And we didn't even need a whole year of nationwide recycling—— just 90 minutes of recycling did it!

⑧Isn't it a fascinating way to think about recycling? Yet each time you save an empty soft drink can, it's almost like you' re helping to send a racket.
