When your pen is broken, you think that’s the end of its life. You throw it away. It then joins tons of other garbage that is becoming a big problem in cities.
Each day, about 10,000 tons of waste is produced in Guangzhou, and 17,000 tons of household waste is produced in Beijing. In other countries, the case is similar. “If you’re like most of us, most Americans, you’re making seven pounds (3.17kg) of trash a day,” US writer Edward Humes told CNN. So, an American makes 102 tons of trash in a lifetime.
If you simply throw away that broken pen, it goes to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and is buried together with many other trash. To prevent polluting the groundwater, workers cover the trash with soil and keep it dry. And your pen will stay there for a long, long time, without
14
having further use. But it could have a better destination: the recycling bin.
Have you ever noticed the different colors of trash bins in the street? Many cities in China have been running a waste-sorting campaign. They divide trash into “recyclable waste” and “unrecyclable waste”. So in Yiwu there are many “Little Yellow Dog” appearing all around the city, even in our campus.
Recycling waste can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas, and keep space free for the unrecyclable trash. Take your pen as an example. At the recycling factory, its metal parts could be taken out and reused to make other things.
But recycling is not enough, experts say. Making less waste in the first place is the way forward. “The best thing to do is just to keep using your stuff for as long as you can,” US writer Adam Minter told Time Out magazine.
34. How much trash does each American make every year on average?
A. 7 kg B. 3.17kg C. 102 tons D. over 1 ton
35. According to the story, how should we deal with broken pens?
A. Throw them away. B. Bury them in a landfill.
C. Put them into a recycling bin. D. Give them to our friend.
36. Waste should be recycled because this can ___.
a. save energy b. produce greenhouse gas c. save landfill space d. save water
A. ab B. bc C. ad D ac
37. What is the best way to reduce waste？
A. Recycle different kinds of waste.
B. Keep using your things as long as you can.
C. Keep waste inside your house.
D. Tell people about the importance of recycling.
C
I teach economics in a university three times a week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you
14
get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I exited(离去) the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “ Δ .” I replied, smiling.
“Your car breaks down but it is not a bad day. What do you mean?”
“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”
I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.
38. The writer of the story is a __________.
A. traffic policeman B. university teacher
C. secretary at AAA D. college student
39. The writer ___________ when his car broke down that day.
A. complained for a long time B. called AAA for help at once
C. waited there for someone’s help D. walked to his workplace
40. Which of the following can be put in Δ ?
A. This is my lucky day.
B. There is something wrong with my car.
C. I’m just a little bit late for work.
D. It is wonderful that my car breaks down.
41. We can learn from the story that ___________ .
14
A. we should learn to be positive in times of trouble
B. it’s important to keep your car in good condition
C. teachers need special skills to give good lessons
D. personal experiences can touch a person’s heart
D
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Some heroes, like Lucca, are not even human. Lucca is a 12-year-old US Marine Crops (海军陆战队) dog. On April 5, Lucca received an award for her brave military service, during which she lost one of her front legs. Lucca is now retired and lives in California.
Lucca was in London, England, to receive the Dickin Medal from the British charity People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA). The organization provides free medical care to the sick and injured pets of people in need. The PDSA calls the Dickin Medal “the highest award any animal in the world can achieve while serving in military conflict (军事冲突)”.
Lucca is the first US Marine Crops dog to receive the medal. She and her owner, Gunnery Willingham, traveled to London, England, for the award ceremony. “Lucca is very intelligent and had an amazing drive for work.” Willingham said.
Lucca was trained to find hidden weapons and explosive devices. She lost one of her legs in an explosion while on patrol (巡逻) in Afghanistan in 2012.
During her six years of active military service in Iraq and Afghanistan, Lucca completed more than 400 missions. She was trained to find hidden weapons and explosive devices. She was so effective on duty that no human troops were killed during any of her patrols.
But Lucca did not escape injury. On March 23, 2012, she was on patrol in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. An explosive device was set off under her. Lucca lost her front left leg right away. She also suffered serious burns on her body.
Lucca is the 66th animals to receive the Dickin Medal since it was introduced in 1943. The award has been given to 30 dogs (including Lucca), 32 World War II messenger pigeons, three horses and one cat.
42. We can infer that Lucca ___________.

C. was trained in London D. is still serving in the US Marine corps
14
43. We can learn that Lucca used to be ___________.
A. search dog B. guide dog C. hunting dog D. pet dog

Money makes the world go around, yet the best thing in life is free. A penny saved is a penny earned（赚）, but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about spending money. Now is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.
When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.

If the thing passes the “really-wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire（欲望） is. This strategy works for grown-ups, too!

* 73____________
Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at a dollar each. So he got $10—and sparkling（闪亮的） sunlight for the rest of the family.
