We are used to seeing plastic all around us. From bags and bottles to toys and tooth brushes, plastic things fill our homes, schools, and offices. But what happens to these things when we are finished with them?
In the United States, recycling centers receive tons of plastic every day. Experts say that does not stop plastic trash from polluting the sea. Plastic can end up in the ocean if the wind blows it there or if people litter. The ocean is getting worse everywhere ,"says Charles Moore, an expert.
In 1997,Moore traveled from Hawaii to California by sea. On the journey, he discovered a huge “island” in the Pacific Ocean, The “island” was mostly made of plastic trash and it was twice the size of Texas. It became known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Moore has been watching the “island” ever since he found it. “It's 100 times worse now than it was then,” he said.
All this plastic in the ocean puts sea animals at risk. Animals can become tangled(使缠结) in plastic. They can also take pieces of plastic for food by mistake. The plastic makes them feel full,but they’re not getting any good from that,"says Jambeck, another expert. “They usually storve to death(饿死).
The plastic problem doesn’t just appear in the Pacific. Each year, more and more plastic ends up in all of Earth’s oceans. If we continue with business as usual, says Jambeck, the plastic in the sea will double by the year 2025. But there are things we can do to stop it. Jambeck suggests choosing reusable things and picking products with less packaging Moore says ,“It's everybody's problem." But it's one we can all help eliminate.

“There is no love which is more sincere than the love of food,” said Anglo-Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Like Bernard Shaw, many writers e1. food very much, and they say and write interesting things about it.
British poet Owen Meredith(1831-1891) learnt a lot about food when he lived in Paris. He famously said, “We may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized(文明的) men cannot live without c2.
American writer Mark Twain also wrote a lot about food. “When you have t3. watermelon,” he wrote, “you know what angels eat.”
American cookbook writer Alice May Brock has some simple rules about food from different c 4.;“If you want to cook international food, it’s easy,” she wrote. “Put tomatoes on the plate and it’s Italian. Use soy sauce and it’s Chinese. A 5. wine to the recipe(食谱) and it’s French. Sour cream makes it Russian and lemon makes it Greek. But garlic makes it good! Cheers!”
Tea and coffee are even more i 6. for some people. There is a Chinese saying, “It is better to go without food for three days, than tea for one.”
American President Abraham Lincoln was often rude about the tea and coffee which was served to him. For example, he was in a Washington restaurant one day, and when the main meal was over, a cup of hot l7.was placed in front of him. He drank a bit and was clearly angry. “Waiter,” he said, “if this is coffee, please bring me some tea; and if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的).
