24、For a long time we have learned about the 3 Rs, but now there are two more in the mix. 5 Rs are Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle in that order. The order of the Rs is also important. The closer to the start of the list, the better we should take. Let’s start from our home!
Refuse
Our lives are full of things we don’t need, and each of them has an environmental cost. Think it over when buying. Just deciding not to spend $100 on things, our family doesn’t want can save 100 kg greenhouse gas pollution!
Reduce
To reduce is to use fewer resources. Before buying for children, give yourself at least a day or two to cool off. Only buy them what is necessary to them. Always ask your children to turn off the lights or computers when they are not using them.
Reuse
Almost everything we throw away in our daily lives will become litter and harm the planet in other ways. We can save resources by reusing. Reuse means using again. Have you given away your children’s clothes to others? We can use the cloth napkins and empty cans once again or more.
Repurpose
Simply take something you are no longer using and alter it for another more practical use. Think, help your children use old newspapers for art projects.

25、When Jason’s parents saw him for the first time, they were shocked(震惊).This lovely little baby with shining blue eyes and curly hair was born disabled(残疾的).

26、Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it’s a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.
When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知), which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don’t just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live an exciting life.
【1】From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who ___________.
A.is like themselves
B.has a sense of humor
C.is open-minded
D.lives an exciting life
【2】The underlined word “barriers” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A.doors
B.difficulties
C.ideas
D.rules
【3】Why does the writer ask us to meet people of different kinds?
A.Because we feel safer and share similar tastes and ideas.
B.Because we can enjoy an interesting and different ideas.
C.Because we can say hello and ask them questions.
D.Because we want to live in a society full of humour.
【4】What is the title of this passage?
A.Just to be ourselves
B.Learn more about the foreign countries
C.Live an exciting life
D.Jump out of the comfort zone
