Shanghai started a new garbage-sorting (垃圾分类)program in July this year. People are always asking“which is the right bin(垃圾箱) for my garbage?" They need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.
Why is garbage sorting a big problem?
It's because there is too much garbage these days. It's bad for our soil, air and water. Actually, we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage. For example, if you put an battery(电池) into the“harmful waste(有害垃圾)”bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don't, the battery will be somewhere else. It will be bad for the environment. Many people may not know how to sort it in a right way. China's tech companies are working hard to solve this problem. For example, if you want to know which bin your milk box should go in, you can just open a mini app(小程序) in WeChat or Ali pay and look for“wet wipes". The app will give you the answer right away. Maybe you can just take a photo of the garbage and then you will know which bin you should put it into.
The future of garbage-sorting looks good. But it's not the best way. The best thing we can do is to make less garbage in the first place.

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容完成表格,每空限填一词。
Now telephone, television, radio and the Internet all help people communicate with each other. As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know who wins the vote in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set. When an earthquake or a flood happens in some places, news of these disasters can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites (人造卫星) that travel around the world, information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is really becoming smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between two countries took a long time. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a fight, or a war in 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided (避免). A peace agreement had already been signed (签署). Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious War of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after the peace agreement had been signed. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
With the help of modern technology, it’s much easier to get more information within a short time. Our lives are becoming faster and faster.
