Erden Eruc has been rowing across the Pacific 0cean(太平洋) in a rowboat since he left California on July 102023．He has been heading for Australia with only birds，fish，and sharks ever since．
Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey．Erue has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy．He will row，bike，walk，and climb the world without help from any motors(发动机) at all．His plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents(洲) along the way．
For the first part of his trip，he bicycled 5546 miles from Seattle，Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back，walked 67 miles to base camp，and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley’s peak．Now in the second part of his adventure(冒险活动)，he is rowing to Australia．

Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month，we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone．
Packaging(including boxes，bags，etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought．Several weeks ago，the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets，and the smell was rather terrible．What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs．
Reduce To reduce means to make less rubbish．That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment．Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再运用旳容器)，taking smaller potions(份) at dinner so you don’t waste food when you have had enough，writing on both sides of paper，and using less water when taking a shower．
Reuse To reuse is to use things again．Think about the bags you get from the store．They can be reused to carry your lunch，to hold your rubbish，or to collect used cans．You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!
Recycle (回收运用) Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green．It can also save energy．Be sure that you don’t throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else．Paper，plastic，cans and bottles can all be recycled，but food，electrical waste and mobile phones can’t．When you are not sure whether something can be recycled，go to your parents and teachers for advice．
Follow the three Rs，and every one of us can do something to save the earth．It is also the best way to save ourselves．
51．The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that _______．
A．packaging should be given up B．Italy is too dirty for us to visit

54．Which of the following can be recycled?

C．Paper and mobile phones．D．Plastic and electrical waste．
55．The passage mainly tells us that _______．
A．all useless things can be recycled
