Sometimes we throw apple remains into forests,hoping small animals around may find them.But what if they are never noticed?People believe they would rot(腐烂)one day.So it doesn't matter.Is that true?
Sure they will.But it won't happen overnight.
Marjorie Woodruff,works in the Grand Canyon,set up a small experiment.She put a banana peel(皮),orange peels in a box,wide enough to allow small animals to go in and out.After six months,the orange peels had dried out,the banana had turned black.Nothing had been eaten or had rotted.
She buried the same things in sand and soil and six months later everything could still be seen.
In fact,it takes two months for apple remains to rot and an orange peel can take up to one year.
"Do we eat orange peels? We do not.So why would a squirrel(松鼠)eat? "Woodruff writes in High Country News. "The animals do just fine on nuts and berries.They do not need us."There's another point to think about.
When animals start to get food from people.they may stop looking for their own food in nature.This is dangerous because it may weaken their hunting ability.Besides,they need different food.
Food waste also attracts animals to areas where there are a lot of people,says the Leave No Trace organization.This may put their life in danger as they may get used to looking for food alongside busy roads. Many of them are too small to be noticed by drivers.
When you're throwing fruit remains,you may be fined(罚款).Fines are different.Some states might only fine people 100,but a few states fine people more than 6,000 for a first time.
(1)Where does Marjorie Woodruff work?
(2)How long does it take for apple remains to rot?
(3)Which animal is mentioned?
(4)How much might you be fined at least if you throw fruit remains?
(5)Why can't we give food waste to animals?

China's first science fiction(科幻)film The Wandering Earth interests moviegoers around the world.(2)中国的科幻电影行业前途光明.Science fiction is really taking the central stage in China.Let's just see more of it.
A study from NASA said that the Earth is a greener place than it was 20 years ago.(3)China is leading the world's greening effort.The result comes mostly from tree﹣planting programs and intensive agriculture in China.
Another research scientist and co﹣author of the study Rama Nemani said, "(4)Once people realize there is a problem,they begin to fix it.In the 1970s and 80s in China,the greening situation was not good.In the 1990s,people realized it.And today things have improved."
So many achievements make us feel proud of our motherland.(5)"我最亲爱的祖国,你像大海永不干涸."We want to sing sincerely for her.

The 2030 Agenda says that ending poverty in all its forms,including extreme poverty(极度贫困),is the greatest task.Because 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on less than ﹩1.25 a day.Another 842 million people,or one in eight people,do not have enough to eat,today.
The good news is that there are ways to end poverty.
Creating jobs,both in the United States and abroad,is a great way to deal with poverty.When people have jobs,they have money,and when people have money,they can more easily get themselves out of poverty.The U.N.says that "For the poor,labor is often the only thing they can use to improve their well﹣being."
The education of girls and women impacts(影响)the rest of the societies.A woman's degree of education is linked to the age at which she marries and has children,to her health and diseases.Educating girls and women can end poverty in developing nations,as well as in the United States.
The United States hasn't raised the lowest pay since 2007.Because of this,right now,"A full﹣time worker with two children getting the lowest pay will still raise his or her family in poverty."And this is a problem in almost every other country,especially in developing nations.Raising the lowest pay could possibly increase the health and well﹣being of millions.
The president of the World Bank,Jim Yong Kim,says that he believes "health care covering in all countries can help achieve a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030." He says that health care could end poverty.Because about 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty every year by having to spend money on health problems,and health problems push about another 150 million into very serious hardship.
These ways to end poverty show that while there is a difficult road ahead,there is a practical path forward.

Sweden is a worldwide leader in recycling.They open world's first mall for repaired and recycled goods,It's called ReTuna,a two﹣story building in Eskilstuna,Sweden,about 70 miles west of Stockholm.The clever thing about this mall is its position.It's right next to the city's recycling centre.So a stream of cars is already coming to drop off unwanted household things.This produces a supply of things for the shops.There are 14 special shops.When goods arrive,a team sorts everything into categories(类别).The mall only sells goods that are recycled or"upcycled",meaning unwanted things broken down and reinvented as something new.By doing so,50 new jobs were created in repair and retail(零售)
