One summer, Dawn left home for a one-month program in North Carolina for outstanding high school students. When she came back, she found her house empty, with a government notice on the front door. Her parents had left already and Dawn became homeless.

23、   Last Saturday, my cousin and I went around our neighbourhood, looking at things in yard sales. You wouldn’t believe the great things we found and the great fun we had!

The yard sale in our neighbourhood is one of the biggest in the area. It started with only a few families, but as more and more people came to care about the environment, it became more and more popular. Now, even people from a few kilometers away come to the sale. Each family puts out things such as books, clothes，and even ovens. They hope others will find another use for those things.

The day was quite hot，so we got up quite early. First, we stopped at Ms. Fisher’s house. Her son was leaving for college, so there were lots of things he no longer needed. He had several sets of music CDs and lots of good books. Guess what? I found one of my favorite books. What was more，all I had to pay was a dollar. What a deal! Then, we moved on to other houses. The street was full of people and everyone was happy.

24、   Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酵素) that eats plastics (塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.

The enzyme is able to break down(分解) PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can stay in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.

The researchers found it while examining the structure a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids(氨基酸). It made the natural enzyme's plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.

John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, "We have made an improved enzyme. It's better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it." He went on, "the enzyme is not bad for humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are thinking about putting it into wider use."

The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities (大量的). “We’ll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go," John McGeehan added.

【1】According to the scientists, the enzyme may solve the problem of ______ pollution.

A.air B.water C.light D.plastic

【2】The researchers found that a natural enzyme helped eat plastics ______.

A.in Britain B.in the US C.in Japan D.in China

【3】Which of the following TRUE according to the passage?

A.The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.

B.The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.

C.The natural enzyme works better than the improved one.

D.The natural enzyme is bad for humans and animals.

【4】The passage is written in a / an______ tone(语气).

A.sad B.hopeful C.angry D.crazy
