I'm sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you collect old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. B{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in fact it's very scientific.

    How it all works? The first thing is to collect items that can be recycled. Soda cans are made out of metal. Some bottles of juice are made out of g{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Magazines and newspapers are made out of paper. Bags are made out of plastic. Many o{#blank#}3{#/blank#} old things can be recycled, too.

    Let's get back to the process（过程）of recycling. Once you put all your items in a recycling factory. There, the materials get separated. They go into d{#blank#}4{#/blank#} piles. There are special machines that crush（挤压变形）each pile together. The materials c{#blank#}5{#/blank#} into square cubes（立方体）. They are really heavy. It is h{#blank#}6{#/blank#} for humans to carry them. Companies buy these cubes and turn them into n{#blank#}7{#/blank#} products.

    Now let's take a closer look at how old paper is transformed（改变形态）. First the paper is torn（撕）into tiny p{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Then a special water with chemicals is poured onto them. The fibers start to stick together. In time, a completely new roll of paper is c{#blank#}9{#/blank#}! If there were things written or printed on the first paper, they disappear.

    Recycling keeps our planet healthy. It reduces waste and saves money. It a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} saves energy. You can do your part. So just remember the golden rule always recycle your products!
