Humans produce 300 million tons of plastic waste every year -which is roughly equivalent (相当于) to the total weight of all humans living right now. But a new discovery offers hope, and could improve the way we deal with plastic.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have designed a plastic that can be recycled (回收) over and over again, and turned into new materials of any color, shape, or form. They are calling it polydiketoenamine or PDK, and this new plastic can be broken apart all the way down to the molecular (分子的) level.
Brett Helms, the staff scientist at the Berkeley Lab who led the research, told ABC News that the new discovery “could significantly reduce the leakage (泄漏) of plastics into the environment.”
“That broken black watchband you threw in the rubbish could find new life as a computer keyboard if it’s made with our PDK plastics”, Helms said.
Many plastics used today were made with chemicals that make them stronger, but these chemicals can also make it more difficult to fully recycle the material or recycle them repeatedly. Over time, researchers say, even ‘recyclable’ plastics may end up in a landfill.
The Berkeley Lab says these types of chemicals had previously prevented plastic from achieving “the holy grail of recycling,” and that PDK plastic might be the answer.
“If these factories were designed to recycle or upcycle PDK and related plastics, then we would be able to more effectively remove plastic from landfills and the oceans,” Helms said.
Researchers say the next plan is to develop PDK plastics to use in cloth, building materials, and 3D printing.
The researcher’s findings are published in full in Nature Chemistry.
【1】What is the clear advantage of PDK plastics over many plastics used today?
A.PDK plastics are light.
B.PDK plastics are strong.
C.PDK plastics can be recycled repeatedly.
D.PDK plastics are used the most widely in the world.
【2】According to Helms, a computer keyboard thrown into rubbish ________.
A.is useless B.can be recycled
C.can be used again D.is not made with PDK plastics
【3】The underlined words “the holy grail” in the passage probably mean ________.
A.the final goal B.the new discovery
C.the bad condition D.serious pollution
【4】What are the researchers going to do next?
A.Publish their findings. B.Find new ways to use PDK plastics.
C.Sell their new discovery. D.Produce more PDK plastics.

Jim worked at a radio station all his life. He was a well-known and famous radio show host. All of his friends and workmates knew him by one feature (特征): if he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him: ‘No one ever sees you, why do you dress like that?’, but he always turned that into a joke.
One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show focusing on the oldest radio employees. For the first time the people, who only knew him by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked:
“Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not horrible, but I’m still interested, why?”
“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I don’t have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean sock is not enough. It needs to be in new socks. So I needed to go to the store for socks.”
“But why do you need new socks?” The director was surprised. “You could have come without the socks, because we will be filming you only in close-up, over the waist.”
“You see, to be perfect on-air, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket. And if my socks have holes in them, or my shoes are dirty, I’m not perfect anymore.”
【1】According the passage, we can infer that ________.
A.Jim was very funny
B.Jim’s friends didn’t like him
C.Jim liked to be seen by others
D.People were familiar with Jim’s voice
【2】How did the director feel when Jim was late?
A.Angry. B.Curious.
C.Sorry. D.Horrible.
【3】Why did Jim go to the shop for new socks?
A.Because his socks were dirty.
B.Because he didn’t wear socks.
C.Because his socks had holes in them.
D.Because he wanted to make his first TV show perfect.
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.East or west, home is best.
B.It is never too old to learn.
C.One can never be too careful.
D.Doing is much better than saying.

Exercising is not always for a person to lose weight. Exercise helps to receive energy and the ability to maintain their weight. It’s fun and exciting to be a great skate boarder.
