    Goodbye, plastic

    Wanna go shopping? Before you leave you’d better prepare a paper bag to carry your stuff or get more money to buy the bags! As a war against plastic bags has started around the country, people better get into the habit of bringing their own bags for shopping.

    Starting from June 1, all shops and supermarkets will be forbidden from offering free plastic bags. Those going against the rule will face a fine up to 10,000 yuan. In addition, the manufacture（生产）, sale and use of bags less than 0.025 mm thick will also be banned.

    “We should encourage people to return to carrying cloth bags and using baskets for their vegetables,” said a notice from the State Council（国务院）. “While plastic bags are convenient fro shoppers, this has caused a serious waste of energy and environmental pollution.”

    It is estimated（预计）that the Chinese use up to 3 billion plastic bags a day. The country has to refine（炼）5 million tons of crude oil every year to make them. When these bags go to landfills or are burned, they pollute the air, waterways and soil, which forms a huge threat to the health of humans. If they are abandoned, it takes tem almost 1,000 years to break down into particle（微粒）that do not harm the environment. And the abandoned plastic bags are also dangerous to wildlife who eat tem by accident.

    Although some citizens are worried about the inconvenience of not having free plastic bags, most people are willing to make sacrifices（牺牲）to protect the environment.

    A large number of Chinese have begun making their own cloth bags. Li Hui, a high school student in Tianjin, cut out a shopping bag from his old trousers. Just like his classmates, he sent his first work to his neighbors to promote the use of environmentally-friendly bags. “I am so proud that they like my design and promised to use it,” said the boy.

    B
    Yes. It’s really happening. This is the last weekend that Washington D.C.’s beloved giant panda, Tai Shan (aka Butterstick), has resided at the National Zoo. Born in Washtington D.C. four and a half years ago, Tai Shan is leaving for China on February 4 to become part of a breeding(培育) program that will help support panda populations in the wild. We’ve known it was coming: He’s the property of China and his departure was part of an agreement made long before he stole our hearts. And while acknowledging that he will be helping the breed (there are only about 1,600 giant pandas left in the wild), we can’t help but be sad to see him go. He’s been an international concern from the moment he was born on July 9, 2005, thanks in part to the popularity of the PandaCam, which cameraed his every roly-poly(不倒翁似的) move.
    The National Zoo is hosting a huge send-off celebration this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to say goodbye to Tai Shan, gathering their team of vets, nutritionists, reproduction specialists, and other scientists to share their knowledge about pandas. The Chinese Embassy will present dance and music presentations, kids will be able to write cards for Tai Shan, and in the most brilliant display we’ve seen in a while, Land O’Lakes will host a photo gallery of favorite images of Tai Shan from the past few years. “When Tai Shan was born,” the Zoo explains in its press release, “...he was about the size of a stick of butter. This earned him the affectionate nickname ‘Butterstick.’” .
    Happily, Tai Shan will be departing in style. According to the Washington Post, FedEx has offered to donate the transportation and he’ll be leaving in a 777 FedEx aircraft next week that’s fitted with his own logo on the side. There’ll be “only eight people on board, including a doctor, as well as a panda member of the opposite sex...and more than 50 pounds of his favorite food available on demand,” says the Post. Not a bad way to travel 8,642 miles, even if it is in a crate(板条箱).
    So goodbye, Butterstick, safe travels, and may you lead a long and fruitful life in China!
    46. We can infer from the passage that the author most probably is ________.
    A. an American    B. a Chinese     C. a foreign tourist  D. a young writer
    47. Why must the National Zoo send Tai Shan to China on February 4?
    A. Because he’s the property of China.
    B. Because his mother was stolen from China.
    C. Because it’s the first part of a breeding program.
    D. Because it’s bound and required by the agreement.
    48. By saying “long before he stole our hearts” (in paragraph 1), the author means “long before______”.
    A. he made us heartbroken     B. he made us lose heart
    C. we fell in love with him      D. we felt disappointed with him
    49. The send-off celebration will include the following activities except ______.
    A. sharing knowledge about pandas       B. dance and music presentations
    C. a photo gallery of images of Tai Shan    D. collecting nicknames for Tai Shan
    50. Which of the following statements is True?
    A. The number of pandas in the world is now sharply decreasing.
    B. FedEx will fly Tai Shan to China in a Boeing 777 aircraft for free.
    C. Washington Post is a branch company of FedEx’s in the US.
    D. Tai Shan is to be accompanied on board only by eight people.

    Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t

    he spirit of generosity is  instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of

    a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.

    A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i

    n the MileHigh City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows p

    oor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as

    waitersandwaitresses,anddishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment

    for the cafe.It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owne

    r Brad Birky, who started the caféin 2006. Previously volunteering at soup kitc

    hens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served t

    here. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where every-one felt co

    mfortable,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunc

    h menu changs daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farm

    ers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And

    the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 

    2007,one volunteer who hadcleared snow for his meals during the long winter sai

    d goodbye to the Birkys.He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hu

    rricane clearing up,” says Birky. 

    1.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?

    A．They refused to have volunteers.

    B．They offered low quality food.

    C．They provided customers with a good environment.

    D．They closed down because of poor management.

    2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    A．The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.

    B．More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.

    C．Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.

    D．The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.

    3.The author’s attitude towards running such a café is_______

    A．unfavorable

    B．doubtful

    C．cautious

    D．approving
