Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”
Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and
students. People can “farm” on a piece of “ land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal”
“vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more
“seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.

opinions.
Lucy: I don’t quite understand why they are so mad about
the childish game, Maybe they are just not confident enough to
face the real world.

and we’ve become closed because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting
thing about it.
Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for(渴望) the life in the countryside. It
reduces my work pressure(压力); besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a
“thief”.

small radio. And everything grows all year round.

Have you ever recycled? To recycle is to take rubbish and make it
into something new. Recycling is good for our planet because it makes
junk into something that we can use again. Recycling also helps to clean
up the litter that makes our streets look dirty.
All kinds of things can be recycled. The most common materials like
glass, plastic, paper, metals, cloth are all recyclable. Sometimes these products
are broken down to make the same kinds of products(产品). An example of this type of
recycling is using paper to make more paper. Garbage can also be broken down to make
completely new items as well!
Some items, like glass, can be recycled forever! We can use glass items, then break
them down and use them again and again. Aluminum(铝)cans are one of the most successful
recycled metals. They can be recycled again and again and nearly 60% of all cans have been
recycled.
The average family of four can produce nearly 2,000 pounds of garbage each year. As
time goes on, we have fewer places to put all of this garbage in. Recycling is one way to
limit(限制)the amount of garbage we need to put into the land.
The next time you toss a can or bottle into the garbage can, look to see if there is a
recycling triangle on the label. It is the international sign for recycling. It means that the
item you are going to throw in the dustbin could be recycled .
( )66. To recycle is to ______.
A. Clean up the dirty things on the street
B. Find a land to put into the garbage
C. Make new things out of litter
D. Find something useful in the rubbish
( )67. Which of the following is NOT TRUE in this passage?
A. Plastic, metals, cloth and paper can be recycled
B. Rubbish can also be used to make completely new items.
C. All things can be recycled forever
D. Some things can be recycled forever
( )68. What does the underlined word“toss” in the passage mean?
A. take out B. throw away C. give up D. find out
( )69. The purpose (目的)of the passage is mainly ______.
A. To introduce more recyclable materials
B. To suggest a new way to change and keep garbage
C. To warn people the importance of recycle
D. To let people know about how to recycle
( )70. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The recycling triangle
B. Some new ways to limit plastic
