Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers.
Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring these things of your own. That’s because some hotels in Beijing have no longer provided guests with these disposables (一次性用品). Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It’s a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment.
In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of lunch bowls every year!
Plastic can take 100 to 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw away, the better environment we will have.
So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:
Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.
After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then use it over and over again.
Do not use paper cups.
At your school canteen (餐厅), use your own bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。
1.Many guests like to use disposable things because they are veryconvenient (方便的).
2.Some Beijing hotels have no longer provided guests with free TVprogrammes.

3.Plastic breaks down easily.
4.After using a plastic bowl or a bag, we’d better throw it away, because it’s too dirty to use again.
5.We should use less plastic things and protect our environment.

From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. After all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned: it is very important to work. No excuse.
When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn't buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only
what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won't make us go in debt(债务).The
unnecessary things won't give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

A. A bookshop. B. A coffee shop. C. A clothing shop. D. A food shop.

A. the importance of working B. the good ways to keep healthy

9. According to the author, what usually makes people go in debt?
7
A. To rent a house for the family. B. To send their children to school.
C. To enjoy something unnecessary. D. To buy enough food for the family.
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to live a happy life. B. What makes a person successful.
