Maybe you can not imagine what a hotel made of trash looks like. But in Rome, Italy, there is a campaign called Save the Beach that has created a hotel out of 12 tons of trash in order to raise awareness (意识) of our waste.
Save the Beach is an environmental awareness campaign set up by the makers of Corona Beer. They collected all the trash from all the beaches all across Europe. Then they built the special hotel.
It was reported that the hotel was fully booked (预约). And it was open only for four days there in early June, the same time as World Environment Day. Next to the “trash hotel” was the slogan of Save the Beach. It said, we have built the first hotel made of trash in the world. This will be the future of our holidays if we do nothing to protect our beaches.
The hotel was built just to show the damage we were causing to the sea and the coastline (海岸线). We live in the time of trash and we are running the risk of becoming trash ourselves. Do we really want such a world?
The trash hotel in Rome was just the beginning to support healthy, clean and trash-free beaches all across Europe by Save the Beach. Maybe there will be more surprising ideas in the future. Let’s wait and see.

How do you get across a river? A bridge is the best way. In some places, there are no bridges. People use the ferry（渡船）. A ferry is a boat that takes people and cars across the river.
Both ends of a ferry look the same. The ferry never has to turn around. It docks（靠岸）at one side of the river. People and cars get on. At the other side, the ferry docks again. The people and cars get off. Other cars and people get on. And then the ferry goes back across the river.
In many places, bridges are now taking the place of ferries. In 1964, the longest bridge in the world was built in New York over Now York Bay（湾）. It is called the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. This bridge has two roads, one over the other. Each road is wide enough for six lanes（行道）of traffic.
