Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment. Instead of throwing all your garbage into the dustbin, you should separate paper, metal, glass, and plastic into different containers. ___【2】_ They can be turned into valuable compost, which is the perfect plant food and soil disease fighter.

___【3】___ You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label. If it’s been recycled, it will say so. Also instead of always buying new clothes, you can arrange to have a clothing exchange with your friends. You bring clothes you don’t want and pick items you want from what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment, but it also saves your money. ___【4】___ This saying can be applied to all sorts of things: books, CDs, furniture, etc. Also try shopping at second-hand stores, because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose.

Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle, as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However, in some countries the responsibility is left up to the ordinary people to recycle. ___【5】__ Recycling represents just one way in which we can help the environment. But it is an effective one and one that we can actively influence.

A. Fallen leaves can also be recycled.

B. Having too many things causes a lot of garbage.

C. You should try to buy products that have been recycled.

D. Products made with recycled materials are as good as new products.

E. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.

F. Remember, what is one person’s unwanted object can be someone else’s treasure!

G. Therefore, it needs attention in society so we can continue to make our environment livable.

Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years. 【1】.起初，他们从绵羊身上抽血. But that wasn’t very successful. It wasn’t until last century that doctors realized there are several types of blood. 【2】. and that the correct type must always be used. Once they knew that, blood transfusions had become almost 100% successful.

So, you might be thinking, what does this have to do with me? Well, 【3】.它与我们大家都有关系. Hospitals need to keep banks of blood ready for transfusions. The only way they can get that blood is from ordinary people like you. 【4】. Every human body has about【5】liters of blood, and we take 0.5 liters from each person. This is completely safe. In fact. 【6】. your body will make enough blood to replace it in a day. It costs you nothing, and it could save a life. So please give blood.

I am writing to express my concern about the plans to build a motorway near our village.

Haldersham is one of the loveliest villages in England. It is peaceful and quiet, and it is situated in a very attractive valley. There are also several beautiful countryside walks in the surroundings, with a view of many rare trees and plants.

Most of the people who live in Haldersham have moved here from other places, often from London and other big cities. They have bought houses here to live in a place far away from the noise and the stress of the big city. They paid a lot of money for their houses, but they knew they would get a high quality of life for it.

If the planned motorway is built, life in Haldersham will change greatly. There will be a lot of noise around us, and nobody will want to go on the walks. House prices will certainly go down, because nobody will want to buy houses in a place close to a motorway. Haldersham will become an ugly place.

I don’t think any of the people living in this beautiful village want that, and we all believe exposure to noise pollution can have a direct influence on our health. So, let’s all tell the politicians who support the motorway plans what we think about them!

Yours faithfully,

Hilary Riley
