Though it may sound like a boast（自夸）, I’ve always been proud that I never litter. One day, when I saw the gate of my neighborhood, all my 【1】 just disappeared.

A line of colorful bins recently 【2】 at the gate, with different signs on each one of them. I suddenly realized that I could no longer drop rubbish into the dustbin without giving it a 【3】 thought. To answer this call of garbage classification（垃圾分類）, I found several cardboard boxes at home and used each of them to 【4】a certain kind of garbage, such as wastepaper, plastics, batteries and so on.

【5】, this is a lot harder than it sounds. It took me many failed tries before I remembered the 【6】 classification. But now, doing this makes me feel good 【7】 it’s my contribution to protecting our environment.

In this situation, garbage classification is necessary. It can prevent pollution, making the air and water cleaner. And 【10】 can help us make the most use of the waste that would have just been thrown away before.

Scientists had the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “read” a small amount of data（數(shù)據(jù)），its performance on cognitive（認(rèn)知）tests was similar to that of a young adult . But if the computer took in larger amounts of data, its performance was similar to that of an older adult. Often it was slower, but not because its processing ability had dropped. Rather, increased “experience” had caused the computer’s database to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes more time. This is similar to how old people process information.

Imagine that one person knows just two people’s birthdays and can get them right each time he or she is asked. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people , but can only match the right person to the right birthday 9 times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?

“The larger the library you have in your head , the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.

I'll never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. It's said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. What a sorrow life she has! But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths （小路）. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of laughter and love.

But I'm sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy （損壞） trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others' shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have destroyed others' happiness.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make yourself happy.

Some statistics （數(shù)據(jù)） from the survey done by the European Commission （歐盟委員會(huì)） showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That's why many people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students aren't required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In British schools it's common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it's more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

A.The people in England are good at learning languages.

B.Most of British people only speak English.

C.British people are known for speaking foreign languages.

【2】How many ways will the British government use to improve language learning?

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.People in other European countries speak English as much as British people.

B.One British student can't give up learning a foreign language until 14.

C.Students in Britain prefer to learn science or history rather than learn a foreign language.
