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.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

     Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. 1_____.
Ideas about social class-whether a person is "working-class"or "middle-class"-are one area in which changes
have been extremely slow.
     In the past, the working-class terlded to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man
would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, as was widely believed, having given his wife her
"housekeeping",would go out and spend the rest on beer and betting.
     The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was likely
to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also
considered the education of his children as extremely important. 2_____. Only in very few cases did workers
have the opportunity to make such long-ten plans.
     3_____. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle-class supervisors (管理
者). Social security and laws to improve job-security have made it less necessary than before to worry about
"tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority (自卑感). In fact there
has been a growing tendency in the past few yars for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their
position.
     4_____. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in
having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less
difference than in previous generations. 5_____. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility
that new conflicts will appear, or rather that the old conflicts will reappear, but between different groups.

A. Nowadays, a great deal has changed
B. Both of these provided him and his family with security
C. As a result, differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence
D. However, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid
E. In recent years, the working-class people have begun to design long-tem plans
F. In some ways, however, very little has changed,particularly where attitudes are concerned
G. The changes in both lifehstyles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people

A recent study offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. However, the possibility of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.

It was also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after10 p.m , and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late night accident.

Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with "really stupid behavior" than with just a lack of driving experience. Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to help solve the problem is to have states setting up so-called graduated licensing systems (等级执照制). A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with a limited number of passengers, before graduating to full driving on his own. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place. The systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies.

1．Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?

A．Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.

B．A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.

C．Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.

D．A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.

2．According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _______.

A．their frequent driving at night B．their improper way of driving

C．their lack of driving experience D．their driving with passengers

3．A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers' driving accidents is that ________.

A．driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule .

B．they should be stopped from taking on passengers

C．they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p. m.

D．the licensing system should be improved

4．The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system

_________.

A．is under discussion B．is about to be set up

C．has been put into effect D．has been perfected

He ________ his temper, but failed.
