All of them wanted to get the most interesting job -looking after the class dog. However, they all knew Rita was the best choice, because she did the best last year. But to everyones surprise, Rita didnt get the job. Instead, she was asked to look after an ant. Although her teacher said that the ant was very special, Rita was very disappointed. The other children also felt sorry for her. However, after Rita came home, her father encouraged her to do the job well, although it wasnt important. Then Rita decided to take good care of the ant. “I will turn this little job into something great,” she said to herself. She studied everything about ants. She gave the ant the best food, and it grew fast. One day, the classroom door opened and a stranger came in. The teacher said excitedly, “This is Doctor Martinez. He has come to tell us a wonderful piece of news.” “Today we have got the results of a special competition. This class has been chosen to go to the tropical rainforest (热带雨林)this summer vacation.

Others drink bottled water because its easy you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer. However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(资源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldnt need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldnt need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we dont recycle much of the plastic we use. Last year, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas. So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isnt a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference. 33. Which of the following is not mentioned about bottled water? A. Its healthy. B. Its clean. C. Its easy. D. Its sweet.34. What do people use to make plastic products? . A. Water. B. Oil. C. Air. D. Paper.35. In Greece, _of plastic waste became rubbish last year. A. 10% B. 50% C. 80% D. 90% 36. From the passage, we know _.A. the writer is from Australia B. the writer lives in a hot country C. we can sell empty bottles to get pocket money D. the best way to recycle a bottle is to make a plant pot 37. The underlined part in this passage tells us “_ ” A. To go green, we should use plastic products. B. To make a different life, wed better go outside.C.To look different, wed better wear green clothes. D. To protect the environment, we can do something.
