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. People there need to put different kinds of garbage-wet, dry, recyclable and harmful, into different dustbins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.
Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It's because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil, air and water. Actually we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage.
Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai
Harmful garbage |
Recyclable garbage |
Wet garbage |
Dry garbage |
lamps, batteries, nail polish (指甲油) and other things with harmful chemicals. | Paper, books, boxes, glass bottles and newspapers. | Food, vegetables, flowers, leaves and Eggshells (蛋壳). | It includes pens, toilet paper, tape, hair and towels (毛巾). |
Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, boxes, newspapers, and glass bottles.
Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries, nail polish, and other things with harmful chemical (有害化学物质). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food, vegetables, flowers, leaves and eggshells.

From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. Some sleep a little. Some sleep a lot. And some have special ways to get their sleep.
Seabirds | Some seabirds spend most of their lives over the ocean. And they can sleep while they are flying. They can fly for many hours without moving their wings. |
Flamingos | A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg always stays straight. The other leg stays close to its body. Its head rests on its back. |
Horses | Horses often sleep standing up. If a horse lies down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. And horses only need about three hours of sleep a day! |
Giraffes | Giraffes win the prize(奖) for sleeping the least. They sleep about 30 minutes a day, and 5 minutes at a time. They lie down when they sleep. They rest their heads on their bodies or on the ground. What a strange way of sleeping! |
Dolphins | A dolphin sleeps with just half its head at a time. The other half must stay awake(醒着的) to take in air and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. |
