A
Cigarette butts (烟蒂) are everywhere - clogging up our streets, littering our beaches - and for decades they’ve been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to take items that people normally consider impossible to recycle, and then use science to figure out a way to do just that.
Despite the increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging over the past 20 years, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette butts are ending up as trash, which can surely pollute the surrounding environment.
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.
They now have more than 7,000 cigarette recycling bins in nine countries around the world. They’re also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in. landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to fund the process. And so far, it’s working.
“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”
1、Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．It is impossible for the filters to be recycled.
B．Terra Cycle has achieved a lot in recycling what used to be considered “unrecyclable”.
C．Anti-smoking ads and messaging have led to people’s quitting smoking.
D．Mobile phones can’t be recycled by means of the latest research.
2、What can we learn about the approach to recycling cigarette butts?
A．Unbelievable and costly.
B．Excellent but hard to carry out.
C．Useless in dealing with other household waste.
D．Practical and environmentally friendly
3、The underlined word ‘“trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A．mineral B．fertilizer
C．rubbish D．poison
4、In Albe Zakes’s opinion, .
A．TerraCycle has successfully recycled everything.
B．they still have a long way to go.
C．it will be too difficult for them to find new ways.
D．the public should be aware of the environmental pollution.

B
The end of the school year is in sight - Christmas cards， candy canes and of course， end of year reports．
While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance， they do not expect their own input to be evaluated． But a school in the UK is changing that． As well as assessing their students， they are dishing out grades to mums and dads． Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A， and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D．
The school， Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire， uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade． The school's principal， Donna Chambers， said that the scheme had been well received．
"There were some critics． In spite of it， between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent，" she explained．
Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement． "The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one． That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life"， she said．
But while the scheme may be well intentioned， it is likely to be connected with parent shaming． There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments， looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives．
And of course， being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school． There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered． And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute？ Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!
1、What do schools usually do at the end of the school year？ ______
A．Evaluating kids' performances．
B．Making Christmas cards．
C．Dividing candies．
D．Grading parents．
2、What does the school's principal Chambers say about the scheme？ ______
A．It uses a new way to evaluate kids．
B．It has gained much acceptance．
C．It gives parents further education．
D．It improves kids' motivation for learning．
3、What does the author think of parents being involved in kids' education？ ______
A．It adds to parents' burden．
B．It brings shame to parents．
C．It means far more than being graded．
D．It increases parents' commitment to education．
4、What is the passage mainly about？ ______
A．There is too much stress for parents about their children's academic life．
B．Parents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report．
C．Parents should be involved in children's school life．
D．Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets．
