24、John spent his holiday at his uncle’s house. From the first day John realized that his uncle’s dog, Oliver, was unhappy in the house. He was not given his meals on time, nor was he taken for walks. Oliver was shouted at all day.

“Your uncle bought Oliver so that the dog could protect his house from thieves (小偷) but actually neither he nor his wife loves him,” the gardener told John. John felt sad.

One day John went out for a walk with Oliver when a storm suddenly came. Oliver was missing in the heavy rain. John’s uncle put an advertisement (广告) in the paper to find him. After all, he had spent a lot of money buying Oliver and did not want to lose him.

It was a half-an-hour ride by bus. A lady and her husband greeted John. They had answered John’s uncle’s advertisement. John was sent to check on the dog.

Oliver was sleeping and covered with a warm quilt. A pot of milk stood in a corner of the room possibly for his next feed.

“I found him on the back seat of my car. He must have climbed in during the storm,” the lady said. “In a few days he has become a part of the family. Ever since Cooper, our dog died, we decided not to have any pets and then suddenly ...” her voice quivered (颤抖).

“For a moment we thought of not replying to the advertisement,” the husband said. “My wife loves the dog so much.”

26、Upcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and often beautiful.

So, is it the same as recycling? No. Recycling takes materials such as paper or glass, and breaks them down so their base materials can be reused to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are not breaking down the material, but you are simply refashioning it. For example, you might make shoes out of old wheels. Also, the upcycled object is normally of the same , or even better quality than the original(原来的) .

In fact, upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when families didn’t have enough materials. In those days, things were reshaped and reused over and over until they were no longer useful. For example, an old door can be changed into a new dining table.

Nowadays, saving is still a trend (趋势) and a big reason why more and more people upcycle. But an even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is its good influence on the environment. The simple fact of the matter is that upcycling is much better for the planet than throwing things away. When you upcycle, it will help to reduce one object that ends up on the waste mountain. Upcycling is also more environmentally friendly than recycling which needs energy or water to break down materials. Instead, it just needs your own creativity and efforts. For example, Grace Robinson, from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats.

There are two ways to support the upcycling movement. Sort through (整理) your recycling bins and create objects yourself, or buy ready-made objects made from upcycled materials. Both ways do good to the environment and in return, you get something that is both attractive and practical.

【1】Compared with recycling, upcycling ________.

A．can sometimes improve the quality of objects

B．needs more energy than recycling

C．needs to break down base materials

D．produces more useful things than recycling

【2】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．materials that are used to recycle

B．materials that are used to upcycle

C．people who recycle things

D．people who upcycle things

【3】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．people have had the idea of upcycling just in recent years

B．to save money is the main reason for people to upcycle

C．upcycling needs both people’s creativity and effort

D．we can turn old clothes into new things to support upcycling

【4】The best title of the passage may be “________”.

A．Get Started to Recycle Today!

B．Let’s Learn to Upcycle Together!

C．Is the Environment Badly Polluted?

D．Is Upcycling the Same as Recycling?
