New Way to Recycle
When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy in July last year, the city’s residents (居民) took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask “What kind of garbage are you ”
Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害的) and other waste.
These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of trash bins—green, blue, red and grey. Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.
The way Beijing sorts its trash sounds different from others like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use for different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garbage. And dry garbage is the same as other waste. China Daily reported.
To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglish (管城理事) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs to.
6. What do we know from this story
A. Garbage-sorting started in Beijing on May 1.
B. Garbage-sorting is being carried out nationwide.
C. Beijing’s garbage-sorting policy is the same as Shanghai’s.
7. Other waste is the same as ________ in Shanghai.

8. If people don’t follow the garbage-sorting policy, ________.
A. they will be forced to learn the policy
B. they won’t be allowed to throw trash away
C. they may face fines
9. The last paragraph mainly explains ________.
A. the government’s suggestions about garbage-sorting
B. how to help residents sort their garbage
C. problems with Beijing’s garbage-sorting policy
10. We can read this article in ________.
A. a story book B. a guide book C. a newspaper
