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?

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.

The first important way is that they provide man with wood and other products.Trees provide not only man with food,but also many animals with food.Without trees,many animals could not live on earth.It's not easy for man to live on earth,either.

The second important way is that trees give us shade(阴凉).On a hot summer day,people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk.You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.

The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods(防止干旱和洪水).However,in many parts of the world,man hasn't realized the third way.They cut trees down in large numbers.In the end theyfind that they have lost the best friends they had.

(1)Trees provide food for man and animals.   

(2)In hot summer,trees give us shade to cool.   

(3)Cutting down trees in large numbers can't cause droughts and floods.   

(4)The underlined word theyrefers to man and animals.   

(5)Protecting forests is protecting ourselves.

    If the joy of walking through green forest, the excitement of climbing ancient rocks, or even the simple pleasure of watching wildlife in its own habitat(栖息地) really moves you, then share GreenHome's idea of the world. Please turn that idea into some support today.

    (3)  So take action right now! Even a very small amount, like ¥1 a month, will soon build up into a valuable contribution(贡献) to protecting the natural world we love so much. (4)  We'll also use it to develop ways to deal with environmental problems.

    Think about it another way. If you want a future where you can continue to do the things you love in the great outdoors, you need to make sure you've got a great outdoors to do them in. (5)  And this way is simple enough﹣that's got to be worth ¥1 a month.

A. Giving Green Home your support is one way you can do that.

B. But determination alone will not protect the environment.

C. That's why we're asking you to join us today.

D. And we won't just use it to stop bad things.

What do you do with your rubbish?Throw it out?You don't know what you're missing!Look closely at the two figures on your left.They were made from things most people throw away.The figures were made from used bottle caps.Those two bottle﹣cap figures were exhibited (展示) in a museum.

   Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art,on the other hand,is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art,however,are often made for everyday use.

   There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition.All of the pieces were made from used metal,wood,cloth,and plastic.The artists come from many different cultures.Still,they all share one thing.They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful,useful,and fun.The artists may not think of what they do as recycling,but that's exactly what it is.Fine artists might work with expensive materials.They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art.On the other hand,in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford.The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials.Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling.Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.

   Even if you don't create art out of rubbish,it's good to save our natural resources.Remember the three rules:reduce,reuse,recycle.If you reduce waste,true things instead of throwing them out,and recycle materials such as paper,plastic,and glass,you will protect the environment.

Rethink, Reuse, Recycle!

Do you often throw away things you don't need anymore? Have you ever thought about how these things can actually be put to good use? Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind.

You have probably never heard of Amy Hayes, but she is a most unusual woman. She lives in a house in the UK that she built herself out of rubbish. The windows and doors come from old buildings around her town that were pulled down. The top of the house is an old boat turned upside down. And the gate in front of her house is made of rocks and old glass bottles. Amy recently won a prize from the Help Save Our Planet Society. The president said, "Amy is an inspiration to us all."

Amy isn't the only one who is good al recycling. Jessica Wong from Hong Kong uses old clothes that people don't wear anymore to make bags. She has been doing this for a few years now. She opened a small shop where she sells her bags, and she has also set up a website to sell them online. She especially likes to use old jeans to make handbags. Her bags are cute and useful. "I plan to write a book about new ways to use old clothes," she said. "I hope people can read my book and enjoy it!"

Wang Tao set up a small business in Shanghai four years ago. He is known for using iron and other materials from old cars to make beautiful art pieces. Some are large pieces that look like animals or humans, and some are smaller pieces you can put at home. The more popular works can even be seen in art shops around the city. Wang Tao hopes to set up a "metal art" theme park to show people the importance of environmental protection. Not only can the art bring happiness to others, but it also shows that even cold, hard iron can be back to life with a little creativity.

A man named Randy in Canada liked to hunt for trees. He looked for big trees and old trees in Canada. He made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. Actually he wanted people to take care of them.

Ancient trees are today rare (稀少的) everywhere in the world. On Vancouver Island in Canada, there are so many big trees. The biggest trees are about 800 years old. They are the survivorsof a forest fire. The fire brought damage (损害) to the area about 350 years ago. Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.

But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger﹣a person whose job is to cut down trees. The loggers wanted to cut down Canada's tallest tree and all the trees around it.
