Every Sunday morning, I take a walk around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.
This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles, unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully wiping with a brush, which made me feel surprised.
“Hello,” I said. “If you don’t mind my nosiness, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“I’m cleaning off their shells(壳),” she replied.
“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and reduces its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time.”
She went on, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference.”
“Well then, don’t you think your time could be better spent It’s a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference ”
The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae(海藻) from its shell, and said,“Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world.”

As newer, more advanced technologies come out, huge amounts of electronics(电子产品) are thrown away, instead of being reused. These goods often end up in landfills, where the chemicals(化学物质) inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain harmful materials. If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. Most electronics require metals. These metals must be mined from the Earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution.
A group known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum is trying to make people more aware of the problems of e-waste. Recently, the WEEE Forum asked researchers from the United Nations (UN) to study a kind of e-waste that’s often unnoticed because people don’t really understand what electronics are. The WEEE Forum calls this kind “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The UN study shows that about 1/6 of all e-waste is “unable-to-be-seen”. Though it’s “unable-to-be-seen”, it’s certainly not a small amount. The “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste weighs about 9billion kilograms. The WEEE Forum says that if this e-waste were put into 40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would be about 5,630 kilometers long.
The surprising kind leading the “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste group was toys. Worldwide, roughly 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include goods like car racing sets, electric trains, and musical toys. They also include toys with electronic parts, like dolls that speak or games with electronic timers. The report also shows that other everyday goods like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools, and computer cables(电缆) are also big sources of “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The WEEE Forum is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The pollution of electronics. B. The development of electronics.
C. The ways of reusing electronics. D. The amount of electronics.
29. What causes some e-waste often unnoticed
A. People’s interest in electronics’ character. B. People’s focus on electronics’ package.
C. People’s misunderstanding of electronics. D. People’s struggle to adapt to electronics.
30. How does the author support his viewpoint in paragraph 3
A. By providing examples. B. By showing numbers.
C. By making a summary. D. By making a comparison.
31. Which of the following is the WEEE Forum’s solution to e-waste
A. Designing advanced electronics. B. Reducing electronics’ production.
C. Stopping selling electronics. D. Making electronics get reused.
D
Teens often f find themselves in difficult situations s with friends where they struggle to communicate their needs or their values. Even when their gut(直觉) is telling them that someone is crossing a line, they may struggle to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable. For this reason, parents need to work with their teens to establish boundaries(边界) with others.
Although boundaries are different for everyone, when done correctly, they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them and is important to teen friendships.
What are boundaries Boundaries are limits teens establish in order to protect themselves in some way from being hurt, manipulated(操纵), or taken advantage of. As an expression of self-worth, boundaries let other people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. Additionally, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need it.
Learning how to set boundaries—both physical and emotional -plays a key role in growing up. It’s also essential to developing friendships that are respectful, supportive and healthy. Unfortunately, though, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends; and when this happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying(霸凌) or abuse.
Of course, setting boundaries isn’t easy. It’s uncomfortable and forces a teen to stand up for themselves. What’s more, communicating boundaries to other people can lead to difficult conversations or uncomfortable situations. However, it’s one of the most important things that teens need to learn how to do.
32. Why do parents need to help their teens establish boundaries with others
A. Because teens have trouble making new friends.
B. Because parents should communicate more with teens.
C. Because teens may struggle to deal with uncomfortable situations.
D. Because parents want to show that they care about their children.
33. What do boundaries show about teens according to paragraph 3
A. Their physical and mental health. B. Their levels of independence.
C. Their ability to help others. D. Their self-worth and values.
34. What does the author think of setting boundaries
A. Easy. B. Important. C. Boring. D. Unnecessary.
35. What is probably talked about following the last paragraph
A. The benefits of setting boundaries. B. The results of breaking boundaries.
C. The reasons for keeping boundaries. D. The ways of setting boundaries.
