M: I can't believe how polluted the air is. I can hardly breathe.
W: Yeah. __1__
M: Mm. It's terrible. The air would be cleaner if people stopped driving and started taking buses.
W: Well, that would help. __2__
M: What else do you think causes pollution, then
W: Well, for one thing, factories pollute the air a lot. Dirt and smoke are coming from factories and spoiling the air. __3__
M: I think so, too.
W: And waste water from factories is making the rivers too dirty to swim in or get water from.
M: __4__ However, we can't close down the factories, but people can drive less.
W: Sure, but how can you get people to do that
M: Well, to begin with, I'd improve the bus service and I'd charge less, too.
W: That's a good idea. __5__

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds,_plastic bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic bag use it cancels out. However, longer lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
Questions：
1．What has Steven Stein been hired to do
2．What does the underlined word “headwinds” in Paragraph 2 refer to
3．What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic bag makers
4．What is the best title for the text

M: Hi, Julie! Wasn't the indoor wildlife center wonderful I've never seen such an amazing building.
W: Hi, Greg! Didn't you find it tiring though, walking up so many stairs And it was hard to find your way around.But it was an interesting start down on the basement, where it was so dark that I didn't see the sharks at first in the water behind the glass.
M: I saw them, but they looked quite scary.However, those butterflies right at the top of the building were amazing.
W: Yes, they were beautiful.Did you manage to see any tree frogs They were so cute.
M: I spent ages hunting for them, but I couldn't find a single one.
W: That was a pity! By the way, I really can't wait to go back because there is just too much to see.
M: I think we should read more about the wildlife before we think of going back there.
(Text 2)
W: Have you seen that poster with the clock It's so good, but a little scary, too.
M: I know.So many wild animals are dying out.This poster says that between 150 and 200 species die out every day.
W: That's terrible.We really need to do something.Why are so many species dying out
M: Well, some animals are being hunted and killed.And then there's pollution and habitat loss, I guess.Animals need a place to live in, just like us, and they need clean air and water, too.
W: It seems like people need to be more aware.
M: Absolutely.More people need to know.
W: Yes, they should make more of these posters — maybe it will help protect the wildlife.

Today we are visiting Woodhill Shelter — the most unusual animal shelter in Britain.It does not house wild animals rescued from zoos or sea creatures from ocean parks.What it does have is a lot of lucky and happy cows, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens rescued from becoming your lunch by animal rights groups.The shelter was set up by Jill and Ben Smith.Neither of them eats animal products, but they live instead on a plant based diet.They say it is a kinder and better way to live.The shelter wasn't much visited until three years after it was built, and now it has large numbers of followers.All the farm workers are volunteers without pay, but get free lunch and coffee in return for their work.If you want more information about the farm, you can phone 697 8325.And if you want to become a volunteer, you must visit the website and fill in the online form.Posts are not accepted because letters are easy to lose.
