When your pen is broken, you think that’s the end of its life. You throw it away. It then joins tons of other garbage that is becoming a big problem in cities.

Each day, about 10,000 tons of waste is produced in Guangzhou, and 17,000 tons of household waste is produced in Beijing. In other countries, the case is similar. “If you’re like most of us, most Americans, you’re making seven pounds (3.17kg) of trash a day,” US writer Edward Humes told CNN. So, an American makes 102 tons of trash in a lifetime.

If you simply throw away that broken pen, it goes to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and is buried together with many other trash. To prevent polluting the groundwater, workers cover the trash with soil and keep it dry. And your pen will stay there for a long, long time, without having further use. But it could have a better destination: the recycling bin.

Have you ever noticed the different colors of trash bins in the street? Many cities in China have been running a waste-sorting campaign. They divide trash into “recyclable waste” and “unrecyclable waste”. So in Yiwu there are many “Little Yellow Dog” appearing all around the city, even in our campus.

Recycling waste can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas, and keep space free for the unrecyclable trash. Take your pen as an example. At the recycling factory, its metal parts could be taken out and reused to make other things.

But recycling is not enough, experts say. Making less waste in the first place is the way forward. “The best thing to do is just to keep using your stuff for as long as you can,” US writer Adam Minter told Time Out magazine.

2.According to the story, how should we deal with broken pens?

3.Waste should be recycled because this can ___.

a. save energy b. produce greenhouse gas c. save landfill space d. save water

A. ab B. bc C. ad  D. ac

4.What is the best way to reduce waste?

B. Keep using your things as long as you can.

Do you know how to study in a right way? The following are the ways of studying.

First, the best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good result.

Second, in studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one.

Third, when we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.

At last, we must always ask“whys”. If we don’t understand something well, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents for help. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better.

Money makes the world go around, yet the best thing in life is free. A penny saved is a penny earned(赚), but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about spending money. Now is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.

When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.

* How much do you really want it?

Seeing a $25(172 yuan) gum ball(口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it. But after thinking about it, he felt it would interest him only for a day or two. “Besides, it’s not possible for me to chew(咀嚼) that much gum,” he said wisely.

* 71______

If the thing passes the “really-wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire(欲望) is. This strategy works for grown-ups, too!

* 72____

After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship(海盗船), but it cost $50. He had $22 in his pocket and gets $1.50 a week to spend. His mother helped him work out how many weeks he would need to save to get the ship: 19.

* 73____________

Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at a dollar each. So he got $10—and sparkling(闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.

* 74____________

After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets(跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.

If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really smart shopper.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成句子。

There are many inventions that have caused great changes in the world. Here is a short introduction of the maglev train (磁悬浮). The history of the maglev train started in the beginning of the 1900s. The American Robert Goddard and the French Emile Bachelet came up with the idea of frictionless (无摩擦的) trains. But scientist didn’t succeed in making it at that time.

About 60 years later, the Japanese started their research on maglev transportation. After many years of experiments, the Japanese began to build their first test line. 7 km in 1975, and finished it in 1977. Many test runs started in July, 1977 with a speed of 517 km/h. In 1990, Japan built the Yamanashi Maglev test line. This test line was 42.8 km long and the first running test was held in 1997.

The Germans also started research on the maglev train in the early 1970s. It took them ten years to make the first track(ti)model. In 1993, the longest nonstop test running was 1,674 km. That same year the speed reached 450km/h.

China finished a 30-km-long maglev train line in Shanghai in 2003. This is the first commercial (商业的) maglev train line in the world. Although this project cost over 1 billion dollars, we should feel proud of it.
