四、选择题:七选五
Recycling refers to the process of collecting used materials which are usually considered as “waste” and reprocessing them. Some of the most common items that are recycled are plastic, glass, paper, batteries, etc. Recycling is good for us, for manufacturers(制造商) and for our environment. __1__ Here are some good reasons why everyone should recycle.
One of the biggest reasons is that recycling reduces the pressure on our environment. By using waste products in a meaningful way, we can slowly decrease the size of our landfills. As the population grows, it will become difficult for the landfills to hold so much trash. When this happens, our cities will face pollution, poisoning and many health problems. __2
We know that recycling involves the processing and usage of core elements of old products for the production of new products. __3 For example, once an old newspaper is recycled, we do not need to use the resource of another tree to produce new paper products. This way, proper recycling can help us preserve our natural resources.
__4 Reusing old things costs less than buying new ones. In most states in America, it’s actually more costly to get rid of waste than to recycle. Some recycling companies buy wastes from neighborhoods for their recycling activities. This brings you extra money.
Everyone can make a difference. If you think that it makes no difference whether you recycle or not, think again! More than half of the waste that each of us creates each year can be recycled, but a lot of it ends up being buried. __5__ After all, many hands make light work.
A.Recycling is good for your wallet.
B.This helps in saving our natural resources.
C.It stops humans from damaging the environment.
D.Recycling helps to get rid of old things and waste.
E.However, not everyone knows how important it is to recycle.
F.When each of us takes action, it all adds up and makes a real difference.
G.Recycling helps to keep the pollution under control and decrease it little by little.
