Recycling options do exist. But recycling plastic bags is problematic. First of all, most municipalities don’t allow them in curbside programs because they clog up the sorting machines when mixed with other recyclables, a phenomenon I witnessed firsthand during my visit to a California recycling center. So to recycle them, you have to bring them back to the store or recycling center. In 2007, the State of California mandated that all supermarkets and large retail stores with a pharmacy provide plastic bag drop off bins to collect bags for recycling. But the program was not working. In 2009, California stores collected back only 3 percent of the bags they handed out. Where are the rest? You can’t convince me that 97 percent of the 53,000 tons of plastic bags handed out in California that year were used to line trash cans and pick up poop. My guess is that a lot of those bags are blowing in the wind. (By Beth Terry, February 4, 2013) True or False? 19. The mix of plastic bags and other recyclables cause problems to the recycling proccess . 20. The writer’s first visit to a recycling center in California was in 2007. 21.

Actually it is everything around us including the sea, land, air with all the creatures and so on. Anything we can imagine may belong to the environment! Therefore, people may feel shocked when they learn that we are polluting the environment at the moment we are breathing out.

However, some could not be repaired because the damage was so great. It is time we realized that we are only a part of the environment, not the boss. True or False 19. According to the author, the environment is the place where we are living. 20. We can stop breathing if the environment is extremely polluted. 21.

The earth’s fossil fuels are running out. What will happen when there are no oil, coal, and gas on earth? Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative source of energy. We can use energy from the sun, the wind, and the water. Solar energy is unlimited. The sun supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate water for rain, and to maintain the temperature of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we are able to collect solar energy, we will be sure to have this abundant source of power. Another source of energy from nature is the wind. Wind power is clean and plentiful. Energy from the wind has been used for centuries to move ships, grind grain, pump water and do other forms of work. In more recent times, wind has been used to generate electricity. Water can also provide power. For a long time, people have used water to power machines. Some early uses of water power were to mill grain, saw wood, and power machinery for the textile industry. Today water power is mostly used to generate electricity. 19. There aren’t any alternative sources of energy which scientists are trying to find. 20.

(1.5 pts) We speak about the weather almost every day. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be. Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching television or doing other things. When we are at the seaside windy weather is not a pleasure. It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad. The sun will stop shining, rain may come.
