The Beijing Underground’s Line Ten will soon have 40 “reverse vending machines（有偿自动回收机）”,which will pay people for their empty plastic bottles.
“We have placed two such machines at Beijing Capital International Airport and four at the city’s underground stations．They have been well received so far,” said Feng Juan, an engineer from the company which makes the machines．“People are encouraged and paid for turning waste into treasure．More than 30,000 empty bottles have been collected since December,” she said.
If something else, such as waste paper, is thrown into the machine, the machine will spit(吐) it out.
“Supported by the government, the reverse vending machines will be introduced to colleges and universities soon,” Feng said.
The company is also considering covering more recycling materials, including used books and teaching materials.
“Long-term plans call for about 2,000 reverse vending machines to be place throughout the city in the next few years, including 80 at colleges and universities, shopping malls, communities and office buildings,” Feng said.
Chang Tao, director of the company, said that if the new project works well in the city, the company will consider offering the waste-to-treasure service to other developed cities in the eastern part of China.
49．At present reverse vending machines are used at __________.
A．the airport and underground stations
B．colleges and universities
C．communities and office buildings
D．shopping malls and companies
50．Which sign probably represents the meaning of the underlined word “recycling”

C
I came to study in the USA a year ago．Yet I did not know the real American society until I injured (伤害) in an accident, because after the accident I had to see a doctor — and to court (法院).
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me．I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day．But the next day, he asked me to pay him $ 200 for what he had done．I was very surprised．He had good reason to charge me, he said．And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible (负责) for my injury．I’d have to have a good lawyer (律师)．And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer．Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes．He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another, yet he charged me $ 115 each time．The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $ 215.
My lawyer knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything．He simply waited to collect his money．He was so irresponsible that I decided not to ask for him again．And he made me pay him $ 770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer．Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance company (保险公司)the date I was leaving America．Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything．It is more important than friendship or honor．Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated．So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.
53．The writer’s roommate offered to help him because __________.
A．he thought it was a chance to make some money
B．he felt sorry for the writer
C．he knew the doctor was a very good one
D．he wanted the writer to have a good lawyer
54．A good doctor is necessary for the writer to __________.
A．be properly treated
B．talk with the person responsible for the accident
C．become healthy before he leaves America
D．finally get the responsible party to pay for his injury
55．The word “charge” in this passage means “__________”.
A．be responsible B．be careful C．ask as a price D．get an answer
56．What can you get from the story
A．Going to court is something very common in America.
B．Money is more important than other things in the USA.
C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides.
D．One must be very careful while driving a car．
D
Looking for an original way to raise money for charity Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas
Don’t give up．There are several ways to support your favorite charity and enjoy yourselves at the same time.
How about holding a bean bath competition “How does this help ”you may ask yourselves．Well, it’s very simple really- you agree to sit in a bath full of baked beans, then for every minute you stay in it, people pay money! The longer you stay in the bath, the more money you collect for the charity your school has chosen! It’s extremely messy, but it’s good fun! Just a piece of advice, though．Let your parents know what you’re doing．Wear old clothes because they’re going to need washing after the competition!
Here’s another idea that we used at my school: organize a car wash．Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed．So why don’t you and your classmates do the job The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed will go towards your charity．When we did it, we had an amazing time! At first, some of us were worried about getting wet or dirty and it’s true．But we also had fun, and at the end of the day it was really worth it!
On the other hand, if you don’t feel like getting wet or messy, but have some musical talent, how about organizing a street concert Street musicians can make a lot of money and so can you if you’ve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front of an audience．You just need to find a suitable place (make sure you’re allowed to play music in that public place), practise for a few hours with your friends first, and give it a try!
I hope all these ideas have helped you a bit, and if you’ve got any other great suggestions, we would love to hear them．We can publish them, so other people can use them, too．Good luck!
57．Holding a bean bath competition, you would______．
A．ask yourselves many questions
B．sit in a bath full of baked beans
C．put on old clothes after the bath
D．ask your parents to wash the clothes
58．What did the writer think of the car wash
A．He thought they could have fun．
B．He was upset about getting wet.
C．He thought many students were too worried.
D．He thought it was an easy way to collect money.
59．From the passage we can know the writer is a ___________．
A．parent B．student C．driver D．singer
60．The writer writes this passage to_____________．
A．ask readers to do something funny for charity
B．tell readers about charity events they can go to
C．suggest fun ideas for people to raise money for charity
D．show some ways for people to organize charity events

Our environment is becoming worse and worse．What can we do for the environment I think each of us can do a little bit to help with the problem．First, we can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the taps when brushing our teeth．It’s also necessary to reuse water if possible．Second, we should never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms in order to save energy．We should also turn off the power if our TV or computer is not in use．
Third, we can take our own bags instead of plastic bags when we do the shopping．Moreover, it will be better if we walk or ride to school．It helps to protect the environment．What’s more, it’s a good idea to separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled．We should try our best to reduce pollution and waste．
In my opinion, even the simplest daily activities can make a difference to the environment．If we do something for the environment, we can make the world a better place to live.
