Garbage sorting not only can protect the environment but also save resources.How should we sort garbage better Doing a bit of research before you sort your trash (垃圾) can make all the difference. Recycling rules are different in different places. But no matter where you live, here are a few ways.
Don't put your recyclables (回收物) in a plastic bag. It's not that we don't have the technology to recycle plastic bags. Plastic bags just cause a lot of problems in the recycling process. They jam (使卡住) recycling equipment. They blow off landfills (垃圾填埋场) and end up in oceans.
If you have a lot of plastic bags, you can turn to programs that focus on them. Otherwise, you may just put them in the dry garbage bin.
You can recycle plastic bottle caps
Traditionally, plastic bottles with caps on caused problems.Bottles are made from plastic. Their caps, however, are made from plastic. They melt at different temperatures and need to be processed separately. But times have changed. Recycling equipment has improved. In sorting factories, caps and bottles are separated. However, bottles with caps on usually take up more transport space, they are filled
with air. Therefore, you may squeeze the air out of your bottles before you recycle them.
You can't recycle a pizza box
Although cardboard itself is recyclable, pizza boxes are not. Why It all comes down to (归结为) the oil. The oil on the boxes makes the paper non recyclable. This problem isn't unique to pizza boxes. Many food containers (器皿) run into a similar issue (问题).Paper napkins and towels are all non recyclable for this reason.
( ) 6.What does the underlined word “squeeze” mean is Chinese in the passage
A.拍打 B.挤压
C.吸收 D.安排

( ) 7.What problems can plastic bags cause in the recycling process

( ) 8.At present, we need to separate the plastic bottles from their caps because ________.
A.they are made from different plastics
B.the recycling equipment can't process them together
C.the air in the bottle may cause great danger
D.bottles with caps on take up more space in transport

Our nature is not only hungry, but also thirsty for water. And wild animals are our natural resources, too. So I think it is not only necessary but also important for us to save resources and protect wild animals.
To save resources, I always turn off taps and lights when I don’t use them. I also walk or ride a bike when I go out. What’s more, I use both sides of paper and I never use
one off chopsticks or cups. If everyone does so, more trees can be saved so that wild animal can have more places to live in. Besides, I never kill and eat wild animals.
Let’s try to save resources and protect wild animals so that we can have a beautiful nature and our Chinese dream can come true as well!
