Sand is made up of very small 【2】 (piece) of rock, soil and minerals(矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form. But now we are using sand more【3】 (quick) than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year 【4】 build houses, roads and other things. People also put sand in the【5】 [si:] to make new islands. For example, the Palm islands are made up of three【6】 [lɑd] man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In 2010, they 【7】 (take) 94 million cubic meters of sand to build. If people keep【8】(use) this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

【9】 [sins] people need so much sand, they are trying to mine(开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may 【10】 beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.

It was Friday-shopping day. He went to the $99 Store. Sometimes they had a lot of fresh produce, sometimes they didn’t. He got lucky. There were fresh packaged broccoli, carrots, onions, and squash. Also, packages of peaches, plums, and apples. He easily had enough produce to last all week, if it didn’t go bad first. The fruit and vegetables alone filled up four plastic bags. Four other bags contained other items that were on Neil’s list.

He drove to Albertson’s, which sold milk by the gallon (加仑) and at cheaper prices than the $99 Store. Interestingly, the price of milk had got higher in the last month. He used to buy 2 gallons of nonfat milk for $3.59. Now he was paying $4.69. Yet, the news media reports a 2-cent increase in gasoline (汽油) prices. That’s all over the news.

He parked his car in the carport and opened the trunk. He managed, as usual, to put all 10 plastic bags into his hands and take them upstairs.

“What a heavy shopping it is,” he thought. And then he told himself: if you think it’s too heavy now, wait till you can’t drive. Wait till you can’t even walk up the stairs. How are you going to get your food then? The older you get, he told himself, the more you’d better thank the fact that you can still do all these boring chores and housework.
