The United States Environmental Protection Agency says only seven per cent of plastic waste in the United States is recycled each year. A new compa?ny in northern New York says it can increase that percentage. It also says it can help the United States reduce the amount of oil it imports.

The company has a machine named the "plastic-eating monster". Every hour,thousands of kilograms of milk jugs,water bottles,and grocery bags are fed into the machine. The plastic waste comes from landfills across the United States. John Bordnyniuk runs the company,called JBI.

Mr Bordnyniuk has invented a new process for turning plastic into fuel. First,many different kinds of unwashed plastics are melted together.

Mr Bordnyniuk uses a special chemical to turn the liquid into a vapour. This reduces the plastic to its most basic elements.

"Plastics are just long hydrocarbon chains. What we're doing is reforming them into links and chains that we want so they have a high fuel value.” Eight per cent of the recycled plastic is used to run the system. Independ?ent testers say eighty-six per cent of what goes in comes out as fuel.

Bob Molodynia helps run the company. He watches as the plastic-eating machine pours a thin,brown liquid into an oil barrel.

JBI produces several thousand liters of fuel a day. It creates different grades of fuel for different industries. It sells the fuel for up to one hundred dollars a barrel. Each barrel costs about ten dollars to produce.

Scientists say plastic-to-oil technology is still new and developing. They say it is not yet known if the process is environmentally friendly. And some questions whether turning plastic into oil can even be considered "recycling".

Carson Maxted is with the publication Resource Recycling,a magazine that reports on the plastic recycling industry. He says because there is a lot of plastic waste and a great demand for oil,JBFs recycling technology may create great changes in both industries.

A. Could waste plastic reduce our need for oil?

B. How can waste plastic be changed into oil?

C. What should we do to reduce the import of oil?

2. What is the purpose of using a special chemical?

A. To melt the unwanted plastic.

B. To turn liquid plastic into vapour.

C. To turn plastic into fuel.

D. To make the machine use more plastic.

3. From the passage,we know .

A. there is a great profit for JBI to turn waste plastic to oil

B. plastic-to-oil technology is very developed in America

C. the process of turning plastic into fuel is environmentally friendly

D. JBI's recycling technology must create great changes in the plastic re?cycling industry

About 30 years ago,I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick,New Jersey,I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later,my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.

In the teacher's office,an exchange of greetings was followed by his ques?tions, "Is your son mentally retarded (智力发育迟缓的) ？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?"

Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No,no, it can't be. What a helpless,lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.

My son could not follow the teacher's directions,he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class. Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?

He was angry, " Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home?"

"No,I didn't speak English at home," I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well,wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in Eng-lish to her son at home and at all time? "Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country,never wanting to be a part of this society?" Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of "those people". Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.

As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted,contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的) . Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others;it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the "educator" I met in New Jersey.

Every person uses his/ her own special word to show his/ her ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is "Where's the beef?". It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, "Where's the beef?" was one of the most popular expressions in the U-nited States. It seemed as if everyone used it at the time.

Beef,of course,is the meat from a cow,and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold ham?burgers at a low price. Ray called this "McDonald's". Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.

Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called " Wendy's" said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald's or anyone else. The Wendy's Company began to use the expression "Where's the beef?" to make people know that Wendy's hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy's television advertisement showed three old women eating ham?burgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big,but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. "Where's the beef?" she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy's ham?burger restaurants was a success. As we said,it seemed everyone began using the expression "Where's the beef?".
