Many people love drinking bottled (瓶装的) water because of the convenience. They believe that it is
better to drink bottled water than to drink water out of the tap.
However, all those bottles are made from oil and also pollute the environment. For example, Americans
buy 29 million bottles a year. They buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world. In order to
make all these bottles, makers use 17 millions barrels of oil. It's enough to keep a million cars going for
twelve months.
As we know, recycling bottles can help a lot. Instead of being thrown out with the trash, bottles can be
turned into some useful things like clothing or other things. Unfortunately, for every six bottles we use, only
one of them is put into the recycling box. The rest are sent to the special places that keep trash. Or, even
worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. The fact is that bottles take
many hundreds of years to change into small pieces.
Water is good for you. But think about how often you use bottles, and see if you can make a change: if
you take one to school, don't throw it away, bring it home and refill (再注满) it for the next day.
A) Reasons of drinking bottled water:
1. People love it because it's _____.
2. People think drinking it is _____ than drinking the water out of the tap.
B) Materials of the bottles:
3. The material of 29 million bottles can keep a million cars going for_____.
C)The ways of doing with the bottles:
4. We should _____ them but not throw them away. They can be made into some useful things.
5. We can _____ the used bottles if we need to take water to drink.
Lill was a young French Canadian girl who grew up in a village. At the age of 16, her father thought "Lill has had enough schooling", and she was made to drop out of school to make money for the family. In 1922, with English as her second language and little education, the future didn’t look bright for Lill.
Her father was a serious man. He wanted Lill to find a job by herself. But Lill didn't know what work she could do.
Although there was little hope of finding a job, she would still ride the bus every day into the "big cities" of Windsor or Detroit. But she couldn't have the courage to answer a Help Wanted advertisement; she couldn't even knock on a door. Each day she would just ride to the city, walk hopelessly about and return home in the evening. Her father would ask, "Any luck today, Lill?" "No... no luck today, Dad," she would answer in a low voice.
With time going on, Lill continued to ride and her father continued to ask about her looking for a job. The questions became more serious, and Lill knew she would soon have to knock on a door.
On one of her trips, Lill saw an advertisement at a company in Detroit. It said, "Clerk wanted!" She walked up the long stairs to the Company offices. Carefully, Lill knocked on her first door. She was met by the office manager, Margaret Costello. Lill's new life would start here.
