A. Find out recycling programs.

B. Set up your own recycling model.

C. Help to see its benefits.

D. Know what can be recycled.

E. Spread the word.

F. Get active, not frustrated.

Recycling is one means of ensuring that the items we’ve finished using get returned to the resources pool and either get turned into something else or are cleaned and reused. Recycling helps to save on additional energy. Recycling also reduces the amount of material and lessens pollution involved in waste disposal (处理). Once you know how to recycle, you’ll realize it’s not that hard and it soon becomes second habit.

61. ______

Many items are recyclable and over time, more items are added to the list of what can be recycled. Although recycling is dependent on your local conditions, as a general rule, most of the following items are recyclable but you do need to read the policies relevant in your area. Some items can’t be recycled for reasons ranging from complexity to hazards (危险). Although technology continues to change all the time (in which case, keep an eye on what new items can be recycled), there are still some items that cannot be recycled. Don’t put these into the recycling containers because they create problems and can potentially pollute the recyclables too.

62. ______

If you have the time, become a champion for recycling by informing community groups, school children, pre-school groups and other interested groups of the values of recycling and how people can make it easier to do. For activities with children and teens, there are good books and videos that you can use and consider bringing along people from the recycling industry to talk about their role and what they do.

63. ______

Recycling takes up space in the home, so it’s important to work out how to deal with this in a way that doesn’t impact living area space or create danger in any way. There are lots of great choices that you can either buy or make to keep recycling sorted and safe within your home before putting it out for collection. Some of your choices may depend on the preferences of the collector––in some areas, mixing recyclables is just fine, while in others, they’ll only collect separated recyclables or perhaps only collect different types of recyclables on different weeks. If mixing your recycling is not an option, you’ll need some extra sorting space.

64. ______

It is always easier to find holes in commitments to change our practices; it’s a natural human reaction. In the case of recycling, there will always be those who inform you ever so seriously that recycling uses too much energy, that recycled products have to travel far distances, etc. But it is far better to be devoted to getting on with it than to be crying about the uselessness of it all! Moreover, the benefits of recycling, particularly in the areas of job creation, pollution reduction and general community safety, outweigh its negativity.

65. ______

Recycling can turn somewhat frustrating if you’re in a city with very strict boundaries on what can and cannot be recycled due to lack of local facilities. And the more dangerous the waste, the harder it can be to recycle, although many facilities are cropping up to deal with batteries, electronics, and the like. However, it is important to find ways to work around such issues, that work for both you and your community. You can ask for more and better recycling facilities positively through a demonstration of community support, and it’s more likely that your area will get them and that the recycling will become easier for your community.

A British train station has put up a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their over?amorous farewells.

Commuters have been told：if you want to get up to that kind of business，do it in the car park.

The sign has been put up at the drop?off point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the town of Warrington，between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England.

A similar sign，this time permitting kissing，has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is considered tolerable.

“We have not banned kissing in the station，” said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.

“But we have put the sign up at the drop?off point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy. The sign is a light?hearted way of reminding people to move on quickly. If people wish to spend a little more time with their loved ones before they leave，then they should park in the short?stay car park nearby.”

The busy station links the town with the major cities London，Birmingham，Glasgow，Edinburgh，Liverpool and Manchester.

However，one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks. High Wycombe，northwest of London，is having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public.

“Kissing is welcome here！...we would never dream of banning kissing，” says a poster of a cartoon couple embracing，framed by a pink heart. “Railway stations are romantic places，” insisted Kirsteen Robertson from Chiltern Railways. “They are where fond farewells and emotional reunions take place，where relationships start with a glance and even，in the case of our Marylebone station last November where one passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system.”

“So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations.”

D．prevent illegal practice

2．The underlined word “it” here refers to________.

B．the drop?off point is a quiet place

C．the drop?off point is a romantic place

D．the drop?off point is often packed with the traffic and passengers

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mill carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when 1 was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger 'through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad' s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one. " One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. " Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom:. bat the mail was always delivered On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few button on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to 8 32,000.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death,  the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. " What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?" he asked.
"The letters?"
'I guess you never knew. "
"Knew what?"
" Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. "
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
【小题1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad us_____.
