三、阅读理解
Imagine a store where you could buy what you need using your plastic garbage. Not just food or household items but valuable goods such as minutes for your cellphone, Wi-Fi and even health insurance.
This isn't imagination for the future, or a strange society that uses trash for cash. It's the idea behind Plastic Bank, a company formed in 2013 by David Katz and Shaun Frankson. As a diver, Katz was upset—and thus inspired to act—after he saw the shocking amount of plastic trash in the ocean when he travelled to other countries to dive.
Although important, simply cleaning up the ocean wasn’t enough, he decided. "To understand why, imagine walking into a kitchen to find the sink(洗碗池) overflowing and water pouring onto the floor. What would you do first Turn off the tap," says Katz. And he believes we need to turn off the tap for plastic junk and stop it from getting into the sea in the first place.
With Plastic Bank, people in parts of Haiti, the Philippines and Brazil can transform plastic trash into cash, goods or services. Collectors gather the plastic and bring it to a collection center to be weighed. In exchange, they're paid in the form of cash, items from the store, or points that can be used at any store or recycling center that uses the Plastic Bank app; in some places, the points can also be exchanged for mobile money.
A collector can earn up to the equivalent of $5 a day, according to Plastic Bank. This can double or triple people's real incomes. In Haiti, for example, the majority of the population earns below $2.41 a day.
After the collectors turn in their plastic, it is sent to a recycling center, where it's sold to companies that use it in their products. Many businesses pay a premium(额外费用) for recycled plastic, in part to meet their social responsibility goals. But it can also benefit their bottom line——they're able to tell consumers that by buying goods made with what Katz calls "social plastic", their purchase(购买) benefits both the environment and people's livelihood.
1.What was the main reason for David Katz to set up Plastic Bank
A.To recycle plastic garbage. B.To save energy.
C.To increase the income of local people. D.To protect the ocean from plastic pollution.
2.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4
A.The main products of plastic. B.How plastic garbage is produced.
C.Plastic Bank's operation process. D.How to pay in the Plastic Bank app.
3.What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A.To introduce a recycling company.
B.To introduce the effects of plastic.
C.To tell us how to recycle the natural resources.
D.To introduce a new way to protect the ocean's environment.
4.Where does this text probably come from
A.Science fiction. B.A travel brochure.
C.An advertisement. D.News of environmental protection.

答案：
Dear Tom,
How is everything going
I'm more than pleased to learn that you're interested in Chinese couplets. As you know, posting couplets is one of the traditional Chinese customs with a long history. Like setting off fireworks, it's also one form of celebrating the new year. Actually, it's a common practice for most Chinese people to post couplets on their door frames or walls during the Spring Festival. People want to say goodbye to the old year and express good wishes to their families in the new year by posting the couplets.
Welcome to China during the Spring Festival. And then you can have a better experience of couplet culture.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
