Most of the things around you will be replaced or thrown away someday. Where will they go when they are thrown out? What kinds of waste will t
hey create, and how will it affect the environment
Most of our crash goes to places called landfills. A LANDFILL is a low area of land that is filled with garbage(垃圾).Most modern landfills are lined with a cover of plastic to keep dangerous liquids(液体)from polluting earth and ground water supply. The problem is that more than half of the states in this country are running out of places to landfill their garbage. Because of the unhealthy materials, landfills do not make good neighbors,and people don’t want to live near them. Many landfills are set in poor neighborhoods.
The Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, New York, was the largest garbage landfill in the world. For years, people who live nearby complained about air and water pollution caused by the enormous pile of trash. They say that the smoke have made people sick. The landfill closed in
April 2001.Now can a harmful waste—material that can pollute air, land, and water –be disposed of in a safe way.
Another way to get rid of trash is to burn it. Trash is burned in an incinerator._ Because incinerators in operation can get rid of almost all of the trash, some communities would rather use incinerators than landfills. There is a problem, though. Leftover ash and smoke from burning trash may have dangerous chemicals, and even make it hard for some people to breathe. They can harm plants, animals, and people.
You can help reduce(减少)waste by reusing bottles, batteries, and paper. You can also recycle newspaper, glass, and plastics t to provide materials for making other products.
From recycled materials, many things are made. For example, from recycled paper we can get newspapers, boxes and so on. From recycled plastic we can get soda bottles, tables, and backpacks.
1.Why don’t landfills make good neighbors?
A. Because there are unhealthy materials in them.
B. Because people prefer to live in the city center.
C. Because landfills are not big enough for trash.
D. Because most states are running out of places.
2.What does the underlined word “incinerator”_probably mean?
A. An area to collect trash.B. A machine to burn trash
C. A metho
d that is used to burn trash.D.A station that is run by selling trash.
3.What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. How Is Trash Burned?B. What Can Be Reused.
C. Why Is Waste Dangerous?D. Where Does Garbage Go?

阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
![]()
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students get passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, maths, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, clothes making and other classes. In some schools students are asked to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports --- especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper,
and photography and student government.
1.How many students are there in the typical American school?
2.What do they do first when they arrive at school?
3.What subjects must they study?
4.What do they do after school?
5.What can you learn about the American school life from the passage?
