Air pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries． Many people are dying from it． But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad？
On a tree next to a river in Amsterdam， a tiny birdhouse glows （发光） bright green when the air is clean． If you're standing nearby， the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi﹣Fi connection﹣but only if pollution level is low enough． The designer is Joris Lam． His birdhouse tells you about the air quality．
Joris' birdhouse is called TreeWifi． It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality． People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it． TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them． If the birdhouse does not glow， people should care more about the environment． It reminds them to change their lifestyles． For example， to protect the air， they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars．
"Imagine if trees gave free Wi﹣Fi， people would plant more trees like crazy． It's a pity that they only give us the oxygen（氧气） we breathe，" Joris said．
The birdhouse doesn't work as a home for birds now． Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it． In the future， they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter．

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws （吸管） and bags.More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic.However，it，too，is harmful to the environment.
Firstly，paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees，as you know，can reduce （减少） carbon dioxide （二氧化碳） levels in the atmosphere. Theycan slow down climate （气候） change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more acts of cutting down trees.
Secondly，products made from paper require more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However，it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short﹣lived.
Thirdly，paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That means they require more oil to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags，while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually a lose﹣lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents，while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment﹣friendly solution is to avoid single﹣use products altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.Through increasing the use of these products，you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place!

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses．
Surabaya， Indonesia's second largest city， located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java， made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter， producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门） said，"With this decision， we hope to raise public awareness about environment， especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．
The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．
The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it． It is a win﹣win situation．"
This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．
（1）Instead of money， how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？
（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？
（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？

A thousand years ago， Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest． As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong， these trees were cut down and burnt． Now there is no forest left， though there are still some small areas covered with trees． We call these woods．
Elephants， tigers and many other animals were living in the thick forest． When people came to live in Hong Kong， the animals began to die out． Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys． They cut down the trees and burnt them．They needed fire to keep themselves warm in winter，to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals． Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them． Many other animals soon died in the same way．

In 1988，Wang Chengbang retired（退休）from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life，he volunteered to save the soil from desertification（沙漠化）by planting trees in Korla，Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides，water is a big problem.In fact，Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived（存活）.
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways，I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way，" said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work，more and more trees have survived.So far，he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification，make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now，Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.
Now，at the age of 85，Wang Chengbang is still working.
（1）Is it an easy job for Wang Chengbang to plant trees？
（2）How many trees has Wang Chengbang planted so far？
（3）What is Wang Chengbang successful in？

Do video games do harm to our children？Today，many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet.In the UK，99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week.This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.
For many people，video games are fun.They have bright lights，funny cartoons and exciting stories.Everywhere you look，you can see children playing these games.They play on buses and trains，in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too.They make kids think in a creative way and theyhave to move their hands and eyes quickly.This can improve the way that a child's brain works.What's more，video games make children use their imagination.The player has to do many creative things，like drawing，telling stories and building things.Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However，a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children.First，children can download many games for free.This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games.Second，many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems.Third，if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework，they can have problems at school and get bad grades.Finally，video games can affect children's social skills.If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves，they might not learn how to play with their friends.
In conclusion，it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them.Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer （癌症）：their noses!Researchers at California's Pine Street Foundation （PSF） say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a prison's breath.This could be exciting news.
A dog's sense of smell may be 10，000 to 100，000 times stronger than ours.But can dogs really smell illness？PSF researcher Michael McCulloch says yes. "We were very surprised by how exact they were，" he said. "They were telling who had cancer，and they were also saying who didn't."
McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into plastic tubes （塑料管）.Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each breath.The tubes were then placed one yard apart.Finally the dogs were allowed to smell the tubes.Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer.Ninety﹣nine percent of the time，the dog sat next to the tubes blown into by patients with lung cancer.The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast cancer.
| Dogs in the Pine Street Foundation test were trained to sit when they smelled cancer.How well did they perform？Take a look at this chart to find out. |
||
| Breath Sample |
Number of Times the Dogs Sat Down |
Number of Times the Dogs Kept Standing |
| Breath from lung cancer patients |
564 |
10 |
| Breath from healthy persons |
4 |
720 |
No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this test.The results are so amazing that many experts question the dogs' smelling power.They wonder if there were other reasons why the dogs did so well.For example，they thought the way the dog trainers behaved could have influenced how the dogs acted.However，most experts agree that this study is important.The information could help scientists create a simple breath test for cancer in the future.Once again humans may be getting a helping paw or nose﹣from their best animal friends.
（1）What's the latest tool a dog might have in the fight against cancer？

（4）Look at the chart.How many times did the dogs keep standing when they smelled the breath from healthy persons？
A.Less than 10 times.
B.Almost 600 times.
C.About 700 times.
（5）Why do many experts question the dog's smelling power？
A.Because no lab test for cancer has given more correct results.
B.Because the dog trainers influenced how the dogs acted.
C.Because they don't think this study is important.
The world uses about a thousand million （百万） tons of water a day． Water is a human right and everyone should have their share． Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean， safe water．
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us． And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans． 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all， and it is running into oceans．
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater．
While 75% of our planet is covered with water， only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers， lakes， ice and snow． The rest， 98% of the water， is in seas and oceans． It is too salty to drink． Then desalinationbusinesses come in． More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world， mostly in coastal countries． They process（加工） more than 92 million tons of water every day． But the technology they use requires a lot of energy．
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology． They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough． But for now， the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone．
