体裁 记叙文 话题 收集垃圾 词数 359 We buy things, use them, then throw away the packaging, largely unaware that most of our trash ends up in landfills where it can sit for decades, polluting the soil and ecosystems around it. Reducing the amount of garbage we produce in the first place is one of the best ways to save the planet.
From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2012, I saved every piece of my garbage. No, I?m not homeless, and I didn?t lose my mind. Keeping all my trash meant literally living with the impact of my daily decisions, which led me to make dramatic changes in my lifestyle.
I should clarify that I saved all my nonbiodegradable(不能生物降解的)trash—things like glass, foam, and plastics, which don?t rot naturally. I set aside banana peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and other biodegradable waste for composting(制成堆肥). Just as I washed my dishes, I scrubbed my soda cans, potato chip bags, and juice bottles with soap and water and hung them on my dish rack to dry. “Doesn?t your trash stink? ”people often asked. As long as I washed and dried everything, it didn?t smell.
I believe that“waste”is actually a resource that can be used rather than discarded. Saving my trash allowed me to recycle or“repurpose”it. Rather than throw out my plastic bags, I?ll put them into plastic bottles that can be sued as“bricks”to build bus stops, benches, and even houses. This spring, I was part of a group of students at the University of California, Davis, who used plastic bricks to create a bench for the campus.
Though I won?t be saving all my trash again this year, my experience has permanently changed my consumption habits. Every time I go to the grocery store, I bring reusable bags. And I avoid consuming drinks from glass bottles. In short, I?ll never again be able to buy anything without pausing to ask myself: Is this really something I need? Is there a way to get it that involves less waste? I also hope that all people will see“waste”as just a resource in the wrong place.
11. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3? A. How he cleaned his trash. B. How he dealt with his trash.
C. How he stored biodegradable waste at home. D. How he selected his nonbiodegradable trash.
12. The underlined word“discarded”in Paragraph 4 means . A. recycled B. valued C. thrown out D. handed over
13. We can learn from the text that the author . A. kept his trash in the garage B. saved garbage for half a year C. made the best use of his trash D. will continue to save his trash
14. According to the last paragraph, the author?s experience . A. gave him much pleasure and joy B. allowed him to save a lot of money C. made him show little interest in shopping
D. increased his awareness of the need to reduce waste 15. The text is mainly about . A. how garbage ended up polluting the soil B. how trash changes our modern lifestyle C. the author?s experience of saving garbage D. the author?s good consumption habits 【拓展训练】
