New uses for old clothing

Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly- but how? One answer is to upcycle (再生利用) .

If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply (應(yīng)用) the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination!

I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?

What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister? It used to be my mum's sweater.

Terry B Posted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2018

Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.

Gina Posted at 9:28 a. m. on 1lth February 2018 early

Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets.

Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need.

【題目】 When he was 23 years old, he climbed Mount Everest. In 2007, he set another world record by flying over Mount Everest in a powered paraglider (滑翔傘). His first book, Facing the Frozen Ocean, got shortlisted for the UK’s “Sports Book of the Year”. Since then he has written more than 15 books, including the No. 1 Bestseller: Mud, Sweat and Tears.

Bear Grylls

His name is Bear Grylls, and he was the host of Discovery Channel’s famous TV show, Man vs Wild. In the show, he was left in faraway areas in order to show survival (生存的) skills. Millions of viewers watched, breathless, as he climbed terribly dangerous mountains, performed amazing ice climbing, and ran through a forest fire.

Grylls continues to shine with both his amazing shows and charity (慈善) work. And he has set up his own company, Bear Grylls’ Survival Academy, where everyone can learn survival skills from him and his highly trained team.

Recently, Grylls founded Young Survivors – training courses for teenagers, including survival skills and adventure tasks designed to teach the basic rules of outdoor survival self-rescue. Those who complete the course are given a Young Survivors Award. Skills taught include how to build and light a fire, how to tell directions in both day and night, putting up a protection building, bad weather survival and so on. The key focus of the course is getting young survivors back in touch with nature and away from technology.

In Grylls’ own words: “The thing I love about Young Survivor Course is that it is designed to put young adults in just the kind of challenging, character-building and practical situations that help consider them as adults. So often, young adults can feel almost over-protected and are stopped from experiencing some of the best things in life – but the Young Survivor Award will challenge and empower them in an unbelievable fun environment.”

【題目】

Mobile phones have changed the way we communicate, but people disagree on whether the devices are useful tools for education.

Students can be easily distracted by their phones during class. Are they listening to the teacher or texting their friends? Are they taking a picture of a quiz to cheat?

School officials, teachers and parents are all trying to find out the best way to supervise students’ use of mobile or cellphones.

In the Canadian province of Ontario, officials are restricting (限制) phone use during teaching time. However, there are exceptions for classroom activities, health and other emergencies.

France passed a law in 2018 banning (禁止) the use of cellphones in schools for students up to age 15, the age when they go to high school.

Last July, a new law was signed in California. It says state public and charter schools can ban students from using smart phones in class and at school. It does not, however, say schools are required to completely ban the devices. There are exceptions, which include emergencies or problems related to health.

So, the officials turned to technology for answers. San Mateo High School now locks up cell phones during the day in a special container. Each student must put his phone away in small bag with a kind of lock. At the end of the day, students unlock the bag with a device.

Other schools are choosing simpler answers to the problem—they ban cellphones in classrooms. “They wanted to provide a clean break for students and not have the frenetic energy that can happen if kids start texting each other or social-media posts start going,” Behm said.

Education Week found that more than 30 schools, and in some cases school districts, have put in place some kind of restrictions during the current or last school year. Districts across the country also have their own ways of phone restrictions both formal or informal.

Toth said students have grown up with cellphones, and “it is our responsibility to teach them correct use for tools within the classroom.” He added that schools are teaching about cellphones and how to use them with social media and the Internet.

“It is part of changing education for kids,” he said, “as long as we teach them to use them responsibly.”

The technology is here, Toth said, schools should use it to help students, and not fear it.

【1】From the passage we can know _________.

A.the students in Ontario aren’t allowed to use mobile phones

B.a high school student can use cellphones in schools in France now

C.bringing smart phones to school breaks the new law in California

D.most people think mobile phones are useful for school education

【2】The writer probably agrees ________.

A.students should be banned from using smart phones at any time

B.teachers shouldn’t return students’ cellphones during class break

C.each school finds its own way of cellphone restriction

D.teachers should face the cellphone problem and teach its correct use to them

【3】The underlined word “frenetic” probably means ________ in Paragraph 8.

A.wildB.worriedC.peacefulD.anxious

【4】Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?

A.Should Schools Ban Mobile Phones?B.Do We Need to Change Our Ideas?

C.Best Way to Supervise Students.D.Mobile Phones Belong to Technology.

【題目】

I’m a girl, Myra. Racing on the 1,500-meter track(跑道), I’m so tired. I want to stop but a voice repeating in my head, “No one knows what the result will be. Everything is still possible.” Today, I have to fight with myself.

Nine years ago, when I was a 6-year-old girl, my mother took me on a trip. We went to the foot of a high mountain which she told me that we would climb. I have never done this before and the thought of it made me very happy.

At the beginning, I was so excited, and climbed fast. But half an hour later, when I was thirsty and tired, I just stopped and sat upon the ground, completely silent. My mom came and sat next to me.She said, ”Get up and go on!” Crying, I almost shouted, “Never! It’s too tiring and I am thirsty. I want to go back home now.”

Patiently she explained, “Listen, my dear. If you try your best, anything is possible. If you don’t try, your dream will never come true. You will never know how beautiful the scenery looks unless you reach the top of the mountain.”

Hearing her words, I stopped crying and started to climb again. Finally I did reach the top of the mountain and enjoyed the fantastic view.

Today I’m on the racing track. I’m going to keep running because I know it’s always worth. And in the end I made it; I got through the finish line.

【題目】The Forbidden City

People who have visited the Forbidden City would be impressed (給…留下深刻印象) by the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. The Forbidden City lies in the center of Beijing, north of Tian’anmen Square. It has 9,999 buildings, which are surrounded by a six-meter-deep moat (護(hù)城河) and a ten-meter-high wall. The wall has a gate on each side: the Meridian Gate to the south, The Shenwu Gate to the north, the Xihua Gate to the west, and the Donghua Gate to the east.

The Forbidden City got its name by forbidding (禁止) common people to enter unless they were allowed. The city is divided into two parts. The southern part, or the Outer Court was where the emperor (皇帝) exercised his power over the nation. The Outer Court covers a large space between the Meridian Gate and the Gate of Heavenly Purity. The northern part, or the Inner Court, was where the emperor lived with his family members. Everything in the emperor’s personal rooms was yellow, including his clothing and bedding.

The building of the palace began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle rule. It was not completed until 1420. It was said that a million people, including one hundred thousand skilled workers were driven into long-term hard work. It was said that a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to move huge stones on the ice into the city. Ancient Chinese people showed their great skills in building the Forbidden City.

Until the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court in 1924, fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty had ruled there. The Forbidden City had been the imperial (帝國的) palace for some five centuries. It was home to a large number of people, as many as 9,000 in the high point of the Qing Dynasty, including the royal family members, servants, and guards. And now it is the world’s largest palace museum. In 1987, it was recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural legacy. Now it is also one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide.

【1】Where does the Forbidden City lie?

【2】How did the Forbidden City get its name?

【3】What does the writer think of ancient Chinese people in building the Forbidden City?

【4】How long had the Forbidden City been the imperial palace?

【5】What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 3 and 4?
