24、How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or reuse them? How about eating them?

EnviGreen in India has made a bag with natural ingredients (成分). It looks and feels just like plastic, but can be broken down. The bags bring no harm to the environment. Both humans and animals can safely eat them. EnviGreen’s founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years trying out such a thing of 12 natural ingredients. It includes potatoes, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid (液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.

Although the EnviGreen bags are much more expensive than those usual plastic bags, they are good for our environment. Usually, it takes 1, 000 years for usual plastic bags to break down.

25、

All about Electric Cars

Electric vehicles(电动车辆) have been around for more than a hundred years. But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years. More than three million all-electric cars trucks and vans are now on the road worldwide.

Helping the Environment

Most cars run on gasoline(汽油). Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels(矿物燃料) produces greenhouse gases. Electric vehicles don’t burn gasoline. Instead, strong batteries run their electric engines. So, electric vehicles don’t directly produce greenhouse gases.

Poop Power!

Electric vehicles are better for the environment. But they are not perfect. Their batteries often use electricity(电) that was made by burning fossil fuels. But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline. Plus, some of the electricity comes from “greener” sources, such as solar and wind power. And some may soon come from a new source — cow poop(牛粪)! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop.

Always Improving

One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range. This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge(充电). But now their range is improving. Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did. Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries. But the number of charging stations is going up as well. China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago. In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along.

【1】When did electric vehicles come into use?

A.10 years ago. B.A hundred years ago. C.3 years ago. D.We don’t know.

【2】Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1?

A.Useless. B.Popular. C.Cheap. D.Perfect.

【3】What does the picture above show?

A.Parts of an electric car. B.Ways of driving a car.

C.Wheels on an electric car. D.Batteries in an electric car.

【4】How does the electric car company plan to make electricity according to Paragraph 3?

A.By burning gasoline. B.By burning fossil fuels.

C.By using a gas coming from cow poop. D.By using solar and wind power.

【5】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Reasons for buying new electric cars. B.Importance of electric cars in our life.

C.Ways to produce more electric vehicles. D.Problems and improvements of electric vehicles.

26、   Mr. Fuller was a polite young man. He left a college and found a job in a big hotel. He was kind to everyone and ready to help others. Mr. Galt trusted(信任) him and paid him more. And the young man thanked him very much and worked harder.

Mr. Galt had a daughter Dianne. The girl was self-willed and never listened to others. She liked nothing but wearing and spent a lot of time in dancing. The old man liked her always made them obey her. So nobody would marry her. As a twenty-eight-year-old girl, she was worried about it. The old man had to marry her to Mr. Fuller though he came from a poor family.

The woman looked down upon her husband at all and never went out with him. Mr. Galt knew all about it, but told the young man to obey her. Mr. Fuller was sorry for it but didn’t mind it. He did all at home and never asked her where she had been or who she had met.

One evening Mr. Fuller was busy and forgot to wake his wife up in time. The woman was angry and hit him on the nose. Blood ran down his face and dropped on his white shirt. He picked up a stick and held it up. The woman fell to the floor while she was running towards him. And her beautiful skirt was broken. The young man ran to the police station in a hurry while his wife was looking for a knife.

27、People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others.  Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people. People′s thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them.

There are many reasons why newspapers and publishers actually publish people′s thoughts, but the major reason is to give information. With the introduction of newer technologies, new ways now appear to share people′s ideas quickly. Blogs are just one way. People can now let the world know their hopes, dreams and day to day activities through a web blog. Better than that, many sites allow customers to create their own web blog for free. The word blog comes from the words web and log. Slogging is the term that is used to refer to activities relating to a blog, such as creating it, updating and adding content(内容). And the blogger is the person who puts that content on the blog. Blogs can be very powerful. Blogs can change the world by changing the opinions of large numbers of people around the world.
