Question

    The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, it is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on? Look at how much water is being wasted in the restrooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot.

    Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off yore lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t 1et the tap run．Remember，if we use fewer resources today．we’ll save more for tomorrow．

提示：

1.         第一段说的是办公室里如何浪费资源，第二段教人们如何节约能源，所以整篇文章主要在劝说人们节约能源 2.         仔细看第一段就知道提到了五项，灯，纸，电脑用电，水，以及可利用的垃圾 3.         文中第一段第五句 4.         这个问题要看第二段，都是教人们如何节约能源，并非是因为没有纸用了 5.         这个词和后面single-use 一次性相对的，应该是可以反复使用的
