On their way back home every day, many students stop by street vendors(摊贩)near their school to eat street food. These vendors look dirty. But why do children like to eat this kind of food? To find out why, we asked 150 students in our city last month, and here is the report(报告).

66% of the students thought the street food was dirty, but 50% of them ate it,the report says. Many students said they ate street food because it was delicious. “School food is terrible and always the same,” said Ling Ming.

Many students also thought street food was quick. Another student Wang Jiao said, “Street food is quick and you can eat hot food at anytime. At school you can only have food at meal time, and you usually have to wait a long time before it is ready.”

“Schools should make students buy food in groups. So we don’t have to wait in a long queue,” Xue Yigan said.

But the report doesn’t give any ideas on how to make school food better(更好).

An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside river. They were disputing which was the better animal。

"Look at my strength, "said the elephant. "I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk"

“Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine, "replied the crocodile. "No knife or tooth can cut through it.”

Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.

"My dear friends !" said the King of all animals, going up to them. "Let me know the cause of your disagreement。”

“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal? "cried both at once.

Certainly, "said the lion, pointing across the river. "Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall?”

“Yes! "replied the beasts.

“Well, then, "continued the lion, " go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.”

Upon hearing this, off they started,, The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.

Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.

They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:

“You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it, you were unable to get it back. And you, said the lion to the crocodile, "although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it. You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other.”

We have found plastic in the ocean and in animals. But for the first time, scientists have found plastic in human poop(粪便),USA Today reported.

The findings came from a study by scientists from Environment Agency Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a stool sample(大便样本)for testing.

Scientists found nine different types of plastic particles( 颗粒)in the samples. “The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system (淋巴系统),and may even reach the liver(肝脏)”said Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research.

However, the scientists aren't sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They're not sure how the plastic got into the volunteers' bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution.

In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic down to small particles. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body?

According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold in the world includes plastic. And even some top water has been found to have plastic particles in it.

1.According to USA Today, what have scientists found for the first time?

A.Plastic in the ocean. B.Plastic in animals.

C.Plastic in human poop. D.Plastic in the soil.

2.The researchers________according to the second paragraph.

A.followed eight healthy volunteers. B.are from Environment Agency Australia

C.wrote down what they ate for a week D.provided a stool sample for testing

3.Paragraph 3 is written to tell us that________

A.plastic particles can be a few different sizes B.plastic particles can reach many parts of our bodies

C.plastic can harm the lymphatic system D.plastic particles are inside all of us

4.What can we infer (推断) from the study?

A.Plastic does no harm to our bodies.

B.The best way to deal with plastic waste is to burn it.

C.People should stop drinking tap(水龙头)water.

D.It can be hard to avoid plastic in food and drinks.
