E As is known to us, Washington University in St. Louis became the first college in the United States to ban selling bottled water in 2009. Since then, more than a dozen small colleges and schools have done the same. The ban isn’t because the schools don’t want students to have easy access to water. Instead, the goal is to encourage students to bring reusable bottles to save money and, more importantly, to save the environment. Many people believe that producing and using bottled water not only wastes money but also harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. These people believe that water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access to filling stations are a better choice. But the makers of bottled water argue that plastic bottles make up a small portion of the nation’s total waste. They say it’s unfair to single out their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers, and what’s more, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school. What do you think: Should sales of bottled water be banned from schools? We want to hear your opinion. Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@timeforkids.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade level and contact information for your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is August 31, 2012. 51. Some colleges and schools ban selling bottled water in order to . A. save water B. encourage students to bring water from home C. reduce pollution D. keep students away from bottled water 52. The main disadvantage of bottled water is probably that . A. it is too expensive B. it is not fresh C. it’s not convenient to carry D. its bottle can’t be reused 53. From the passage we can learn that the bottle used to hold water is made of .

Students think it unfair to ban selling bottled water. D. The makers of bottled water are against banning selling bottled water. 55. The purpose of the passage is to .
