“Hi, mommy, what are you doing ” asked Susie.

When throwing away rubbish, do you know which bin it should go into Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins on the street
Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it’s quite important to know how to sort (分类) your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment. If you don’t sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried (埋葬) together. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries (电池), can pollute the land and groundwater. Other pieces of rubbish, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make into other things if they are properly recycled.
With this in mind, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste which includes things like medicine, batteries and so on. The blue is for waste like paper, metal, glass and other things that can be recycled. The green is for kitchen waste which is known as wet waste, such as food and soup left after having meals. The yellow is for other dry waste like plastic bags. Dry waste is not wet, recyclable or harmful.
Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.

A.to plant trees B.to bury waste C.to save energy D.to eat meals
12.Paragraph (段) 2 mainly tells us ________.
