Som
etimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.
Here are some other ways to help save resources (资源)for the society:
★Use the other side of the paper.
★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.
★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.
★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.
★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away. The und
erlined word "ours" in the passage refers to (指代) _______.
| A．our society | B．our old things |
| C．our life | D．our throwaway things |

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while climbing mountain, losing his legs. But he never lost his love for life.
Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand. They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton (岩钉) into the rock. Fastening(拴紧) one end of a 50-meter rope( 绳子) to the piton, he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-bar(丁字铁) to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above, Peter let out a cheer, “You're on your way.”
For the first four days the two men progressed upward(向上) without accident. But on the fifth day, a very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.
It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared the group of people waiting on the top went wild with joy.
