21、Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with. Lately, it’s all about environment-friendly materials -- recycled tires, mushrooms, even pineapple fibers! What if you want such a pair of shoes? Thaely is here to help.
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution. Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave, they may have found a winning approach: making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. “Thaely” means “plastic bag” in the Hindi language.
“I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment,” Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. “I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste. ”Plastic bags were the perfect solution. He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. “I was motivated to find a solution to this problem,” Bhave said.
That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex. Made entirely from plastic bags, the material looks and feels like leather. That sounds promising. Better yet, the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products. The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.
Bhave wouldn’t expose the full process for making ThaelyTex, but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles. Where do they get the materials? Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. “The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags. ”
Finally, they got help from TrioTap Technologies, a waste management plant. Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
So far, it seems like things are falling into place. There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place. It sounds like they have some plans for the future. “We have a few more colors coming up,” said Bhave. They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing. Let’s hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.
【1】Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags?
A．To set a new footwear trend.
B．To test new materials for footwear.
C．To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.
D．To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.
【2】What was the most difficult task for Bhave?
A．Having a few more colors for Thaely.
B．Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.
C．Collecting enough production materials
D．Dealing with many poisonous by-products
【3】The underlined part“put out”in the last paragraph probably means__________.
A．produce
B．conserve
C．provide
D．broadcast
【4】What can be the best title for this passage?
A．Bhave: a promising young man
B．Thaely: killer of waste plastic bags
C．ThaelyTex: material out of plastic bags
D．TrioTap Technologies: a waste management plant
22、Last night my husband and I were on the way to a show. We were both hungry and wanted to grab a quick bite on our way there, so we swung through a Jack-In-the-Box-Drive-thru Restaurant and placed our order.
When we got up to the window the lady smiled at me, which is sometimes rare and asked how I was doing while she was collecting our money for the food. I replied, "Fine, and how are you'?" She went to get our order ready and I asked my husband to pass my "Drive-thru Smile bag" to me. He handed it to me and watched in amazement as I gathered together a "You make a difference" paper, including a smile card, a smile stamp and a smile button.
She came back to the window almost before I finished putting it all together. Without looking too closely she passed the bag and said, "Thank you. Have a good day." I said, "Wait! This is for you." As I placed the little smile gifts in her hand a smile spread across her face. As she looked at the items it got a little bigger but when I thanked her for her smile there was no holding back. She gave the biggest smile and she was laughing. It was very heartwarming.
My husband was very impressed by it. It made him smile too. It just takes a little effort to connect in a human way to everyone we have dealings with, even with something as small as a Drive-thru transaction.
Remember, we all make a difference!

23、D
People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.
【1】What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.
B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.
C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.
D. It provides loads of information to its users.
【2】 What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.
B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.
D. They care very little about their personal information.
【3】Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To provide better service to its users.
B. To obey the Federal guidelines.
C. To improve its users’ connection
D. To expand its business.
【4】 Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.
24、 University of Arizona architecture students won the first place in a national competition for a project that reimagines the way buildings store energy for cooling.
"Being able to be recognized for your passion and having people tell you that what you're doing is really important are inspiring," said Franzen, one of the team members.
The Arizona architecture students designed one component of a larger project called SunBlock, which rethinks the traditional configuration of district energy systems that are used to heat or cool collections of buildings.
District energy systems typically involve one central plant that creates heated or cooled water, then pumps it around to the other buildings within the district. The buildings take that water and pass it through an air handling unit. Air is then passed over the water to heat or cool the building.
The SunBlock concept, designed specifically for the Sonoran Desert, focuses on cooling. The main way it is different from a traditional district energy system is that each SunBlock building would have its own solar-powered system that cools the water, rather than one central building doing it all.
Because the buildings are built so efficiently, the cooling system would provide more cold water than needed. The extra water could be stored in underground tanks and shared with existing and less efficient buildings throughout the neighborhood.
The project addresses sustainability from a number of angles: The buildings' electricity is provided with solar power; the system does not use traditional air conditioning systems that use refrigerants(制冷剂), which are polluters; and the underground water tanks can also collect rainwater for irrigation.
"I'm optimistic that SunBlock will someday be more than a first-place project. We will do our best to help future groups of students who move SunBlock forward and bring it closer to reality," said Franzen. "We just have to get more people on board."
【1】How is the SunBlock concept different from a traditional district energy system?
A.Cold water cooling the air. B.Less cold water for buildings.
C.One cooling system for one building. D.One central building for all buildings.
【2】From Paragraph 7, we can learn that SunBlock buildings are .
A.cheap to build B.environmentally friendly
C.easy to manage D.convenient for irrigation
【3】What did Franzen say about SunBlock?
A.It could be put into use now. B.It needed more people to improve it.
C.It should be introduced to more people. D.It couldn't be considered a first-place project.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Storing Solar Energy for Buildings B.Keeping Buildings Cool with Cold Water
C.Changing the Way Buildings are Built D.Rethinking the Way Buildings Are Cooled
