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!

(1)What does the underlined word " They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?    

A.

Plastic products.

B.

Trees.

C.

Paper products.

D.

Businesses.

(2)Compared with transporting two million plastic bags,transporting two million paper bags requires    .

A.

fewer trucks

B.

six more trucks

C.

twice as many trucks

D.

the same number of trucks

(3)The writer compared the price of a paper straw and that of a plastic straw to show that    .

A.

paper products are not a good choice for businesses

B.

it is difficult for all businesses to turn to paper products

C.

most people believe paper products are better than plastic ones

D.

paper products are as harmful to the environment as plastic ones

(4)By writing this article,the writer mainly wanted to    .

Have you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客) or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these "pay﹣for﹣ knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby﹣caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment. "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge" is on the rise (兴起).

    Why is "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份)check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy "pay﹣for knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information.

For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self﹣growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway,because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.

    In general, the best is the one that suits you most."Pay﹣ for﹣knowledge" may be used as a good start for self﹣ growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.

Historically,most cars have run on gasoline(汽油),but that may change in the future:cars can also run on other liquid fuels(液体燃料)and electricity.

Gasoline is from oil.The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物).Gasoline provides great power for cars.However,it causes environmental problems,like air pollution and temperature rise.So gasoline can't be the best fuel.

Another choice is electricity.Electricity cars can be as efficient(效能好的)as cars using gasoline,And they produce less pollution.But electric cars themselves are more expensive.Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.

The other choices are other liquid fuels.Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline,and used in the same cars.They can also be friendly to the environment.

One way to make such fuels is to get CO 2from the air and put it in water.Through chemical reaction,hydrocarbons can be created.However,these fuels take up more space.

Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air.These fuels are greener in use.But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.

For a fuel to be the best,people have to be able to afford it.Unluckily,almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs.In the end,the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day,but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon (马拉松)in Baiyin,Gansu Province,in which 21 people lost their lives.

It started off as a normal day for the 49﹣year﹣old shepherd who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside.But soon the weather was terrible,with rainfall and hail.The rain got so heavy that he couldn't see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest.Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.

But he was awakened at 2 pm by an unusual sound that was not coming from his sheep.The sound that woke Zhu was the cry of a runner in the marathon.He was wet from head to toe and trembling because of cold.Zhu took him into the cave,lit a fire and covered the stricken (受伤的)runner with his quilts.

Zhu said that there were soon five runners huddling (挤作一团)in the cave,and he then decided to go outside to try to attract the attention of rescuers (救援者).When he risked coming out of the cave,he found another stricken runner lying on the ground in bad condition.Then the other runners came out of the cave to give a hand.Zhu and the six runners remained huddled around the fire in his cave until 7 pm,when the rescue team arrived.
