Recycling is one of the best environment success stories of the late 20th century. Recycling m 1. using things again, and not wasting things l 2. plastic, paper, and glass. But we could do more. It should not just be a popular thing to do –we n 3. to do it.
The Japanese are very good at recycling b 4. they live in a very small place with a lot of people in it. They do not want to share small amount of s 5. with rubbish. But even so, the Tokyo area alone is t 6. to have three million tons of rubbish right now.
In 1996, the United States recycled 57 million tons of rubbish (27% of the nation's solid waste). People used 7,000 recycling programs—where rubbish is collected and recycled, and recycling centers—where people take things that can be recycled. Recycling also helps to keep the environment clean.
In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, the government chooses one house each week and checks its rubbish. I 7. the rubbish does not have any newspapers or metal drink cans, then that house gets a p 8. of at least $1,000.
In Japan, some cities give children recycled paper in return for collecting newspapers for recycling.
In one year Britain recycles:
*1 out of every 3 newspapers.
*1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars.
*1 out of every 4 shirts, trousers and other types of clothes.
*1 out of every 3 metal drink cans.
In China, Hong Kong SAR transported 1. 3 million tons of rubbish to the mainland for r 9.
in 1999. And around 535,000 tons of rubbish was recycled in Hong Kong SAR of China itself.
Over half the things we throw away could be recycled. That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.
However, recycling needs a lot of planning and s 10. machines. Also, there is not much use for some recycled things. People need to think of more ways to use things they recycle.

Some people in the mountains of northern Thailand(泰国) get books in a d 5. way. Their "l 6. " are carried by elephants. These animals can handle the difficult journey. Because they are large, they can carry many books in metal cases(金属箱). The metal protects the books from the heavy rains that f 7. in the area.

Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they've been around for years. In the early 1900s, there were more electric cars on the road than there were petrol (汽油) cars. At that time, petrol was e 1. compared with other fuels (燃料). W 2. petrol prices dropped and new technologies were developed, electric cars went out of fashion . Instead, petrol cars became more p 3. because they could travel longer distances (距离) without stopping.
During the 20th century, petrol cars got bigger, heavier, and faster. They needed more fuel, and it c 4. more air pollution. For years, car makers didn't worry about pollution. They didn't worry about the amount of petrol cars used, e 5. . But when people began to realise that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) and less polluting cars.
One m 6. of solving the problem was a "hybrid" car (混合动力车), one that ran partly on petrol and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when petrol prices went up and the prices of hybrid cars went d 7. .
An all-electric car uses no petrol. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). That makes electric cars not so useful for long j 8. .
Many people are not p 9. with it. The government and car makers are w 10. together to develop safe, cheap, and useful electric cars. When people have these cars in the future, a petrol station may be a thing of the past.

To teach them how to make animal sculptures, the initiative started by organizing (组织)trips into the park. In this way, the local people can s 7. the animals. They used to have no idea of how the animals live and behave(举动) in the park. They only saw the animals after they were caught o 8. the park.
Now, over 600 people are working for the initiative and they sell about 800 sculptures a month. Thanks to it the workers can meet their basic needs and p 9. enough money for their families.

Olyvia, "love is simple. You don't have to do much to make someone happy." That was what my mother said to me when I was a child. Over a year ago, T had a chance. My good friend Kaylee told me about her
t 1. to a small town called Gary, and how it was a life-changing experience. I made up my mind to go there myself.

When our group arrived in Gary, I noticed how different the town was from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town; most had closed. So you would be very l 5. if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. Houses were built on small hills. Many of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to r 6. houses. The work days were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day.
The children there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life t 7. they were poor. The smallest things would make these kids happy. I couldn't find words to describe their
j 8. when they received an ice-cream, a ball or e 9. a kiss. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help.
I am so glad that I had this unforgettable e 10. . I truly learned the meaning, of what my mother said. You don't need to do much to make a difference to others' lives.
