A year ago, I decided to create a more environmentally friendly kitchen, focusing on reducing the single-use products such as plastic bags and paper towels. I’m not going to sugarcoat my experience. It takes com mitment and a willingness to change long-held habits. In creating my kitchen, I tried a lot of different alternative products and some plain old com mon sense； the result, however, has been worth the effort. I’m recycling more and relying less on single-use products and I’m saving money too. I’m not kidding when I say that I used to really love plastic storage bags, so this was, perhaps, the biggest challenge for me. Switching to reusable storage bags is a financial investment, but the cos is reasonable considering that I previously spent at least $ 100 annually on single-use plastic bags and wrap. I willcheck online periodically for recycling updates, where a zero-waste box for kitchen items is offered, from party supplies to mixed-materialfood containers. I’m a clean freak (怪人) and used to go through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis, butit’s easy enough to take old T-shirts ortowels and cutthem up to use to wipe down surfaces. I’m also a fan of bamboo paper towels, which have the look and feel of traditional paper towels, yet are made from a highly renewable source and also break down in just 45 days. Better yet, they can be reused up to 100 times. As for kitchen sponges (海绵擦), I keep an eye out for those made with natural and recyclable materials. When purchasing household items online from companies like Amazon or Jet, I will ask to have them shipped in as few boxes as possible or as small a box as possible if a single item is to be sent. I’ll let the company know that they should pay more attention to how It is packaging items for delivery. 【1】What is the author’s main purpose of creating her kitchen? A.To save money. B.To reduce waste and recycle more. C.To change her long-held habits. D.To make it cleaner and more practical. 【2】What does the underlined word “sugarcoat” in paragraph 2 mean? A.M ake attractive. B.Getinterested. C.Show off. D.Give up. 【3】In creating her kitchen, what does the author do? A.Begins to recycle more single-use plastic bags. B.Goes through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis. C.Checks online periodically to buy zero-waste box. D.Chooses to use the recyclable or reusable kitchen items. 【4】What can we learn about the author from the text? A.She has strong environmental awareness. B.She is used to traditional paper towels. C.She has a good knowledge of financialinvestment. D.She prefers to have her purchases packed in small boxes. |

In between all the measures to battle the severe air pollution in Delhi,India,there’s one more option-a bar that has”pure air”. Founded by Aryavir Kumar,Oxy Pure,Delhi’s first-ever oxygen bar,offers 15 minutes of 80-90 percent pure oxygen,costing Rs 299($4.2).Customers are given a lightweight tube for oxygen intake.The device(装置)is placed near the customer’s nostrils(鼻孔)through which they are advised to breathe in the oxygen. The bar also offers its customers several aromas(气味)to go with oxygen,including lemongrass,cherry and more.According to the aroma people choose,each session promises to improve sleep patterns and digestion,cure headaches,and even claims to work as a treatment for depression. Bonny Irengbam,a senior sales assistant at the bar,said,”Some people,who try it for the first time,will feel relaxed and fresh.But only people who do this regularly will get real benefits.By regularly,I mean once or twice a month.We don’t encourage back-to-back sessions,as increased levels of oxygen in the body can make a person dizzy.” Dr.Rajesh Chawla,a senior doctor at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital,said,”Even if you breathe in the so-called pure oxygen for two hours in a day,you will go back to breathing the polluted air for the rest of the 22 hours.The concept is purely money-driven.” Recalling the first few months of the bar,Irengbam admitted that people were sceptical. “Many people criticised,saying we were selling air.Others were simply scared to breathe through the tube.” Irengbam said the bar saw a significant rise in the number of customers two to three days after Diwali,an Indian festival mainly celebrated by fireworks and lights,as the pollution levels were high. 【1】What do we know about the oxygen intake? A.It surely has a promising future. B.It will always cause side effects. C.It was not well received at first. D.It can cure people of depression. 【2】Which of the following can replace”back-to-back”in Paragraph 4? A.Once-a-month. B.Once-in-a-while. C.Once-and-for-all. D.One-after-another. 【3】What is Dr.Rajetha Chawla’s attitude towards the bar? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Unconcerned. D.Ambiguous. 【4】What is the purpose of the passage? A.To explain how to breathe in the oxygen. B.To introduce the first oxygen bar in India. C.To show people’s responses to the device. D.To advertise for Aryavir Kumar’s business. |

A lecture hall should be like a church-a little too dark,much too cold,and uncomfortably silent.You should feel guilty opening your water bottle,because all 200 people in the room can hear it. So when I’m trying to pay attention,the last thing you should be doing is carrying on a conversation about your last weekend party or anything else. During the past school term,I’ve had enough.One of my biggest complaints of large class sizes is the tendency for three to five friends to sit together and loudly whisper each others’ ears off for an hour and 15 minutes straight.My stupid monkey brain can’t help but focus on your conversation about the difference between ash blonde and light blonde colored hair that look exactly the same. To me,it just feels like a waste.You’re actively wasting money,and missing vital information.We(and the government)pay quite a lot for our education,but you are here to ignore someone significantly more experienced than us,in classes we picked,for hours every week. I know major requirements can be boring,but this is still an education.It requires two-way effort.Most of students here have at least one goal in common:success.Not every checkpoint on that path is going to be filled with joy.Sit down,shut up,and force yourself to listen to your professor.Society tells us it will eventually pay off. Or maybe it won’t because you don’t want to. I actually don’t care if you decide to pay little or no attention to the lecture itself,so long as you’re not being disturbing. For those willing to try,in 20 years when you finally pay off your debt with your fairly secure white-collar job,you’ll look back and be happy that you went through the lectures. 【1】Why is a lecture hall compared to a church by the author? A.Both places are open to the public. B.Both places are supposed to be quiet. C.Both places can seat over 200 people. D.Both places help rid people of their guilt. 【2】What can we infer about the author from the passage? A.He likes persuading others. B.He tends to make complaints. C.He values education as a duty. D.He cares much about friendship. 【3】How does the author feel when writing the passage? A.Annoyed. B.Deserted. C.Thrilled. D.Worried. 【4】What may be the best title for the text? A.Hard Work Pays Off! B.Focus on the Lectures! C.Wasting Your Time Is a Shame! D.Mind Your In-Class Behavior! |
