21、 The new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shanghai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the classification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, authorities have released an official guideline to explain the new rules.
The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the four kinds if waste: recyclable waste, harmful waste, household food waste and residual (剩余) waste.
A team from the U. K.'s National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine examined 14 lean and overweight men and analyzed their metabolic (新陈代谢) health. The participants were either assigned
Harmful waste, as the name suggests, includes various poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides.
Household food waste — which is translated to "wet trash” in Chinese — refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels, remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.
Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles (纺织品) are counted as recyclable waste.
The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything that is not listed above belongs to this category.
As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle, some netizens have come up with their own way to sort trash.
"We should do this from a pig's angle," commented one netizen. "Those edible (可食用) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don't want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be harmful waste. Those that can be sold and the money we gain can be used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste."
The new regulation came into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash properly will be fined RMB200.

C.Recyclable waste. D.Residual waste
【2】What is the common point of "wet trash"?

23、 At 88, I remain a competitive runner. The finish line of my life is drawing close, and I hope to reach it having given the best of myself along the way. I’ve been training my body to meet the demands of this final stretch. But, I wonder, should I have asked more of my mind?
If I didn’t exercise, I would release the hungry beasts that seek their elderly prey on couches, but not in the gym. The more I sweated, the more likely it was my doctor would continue to say, “Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll see you next year.” My mind, on the other hand, seems less willing to give in to discipline. I have tried Internet “brain games”, solving algebraic problems flashing past and changing the route of virtual trains to avoid crashes. But these never approach my determination to remain physically fit as I move deeper into old age.
Though I have many friends in their 70s, 80s and 90s, I’ve been far too slow to realize that how we respond to aging is a choice made in the mind, not in the gym. Some of my healthiest friends carry themselves as victims abused by time. Other friends, many, whose aching knees and hips are the least of their physical problems, find comfort in their ability to accept old age as just another stage of life to deal with. I would use the world “heroic” to describe the way they cope with aging.
One such friend recently called from a hospital to tell me a sudden brain disease had made him legally blind. He interrupted me as I began telling him how terribly sorry I was: “Bob, it could have been worse. I could have become dead instead of blind.”
In spite of all the time I spend lifting weights and exercising, I realized I lack the strength to have said those words. It suddenly struck me that I’ve paid a price for being a “gym rat”. If there is one characteristic common to friends who are aging with a graceful acceptance of life’s attacks, it is contentment. Aging had to be more than what I saw in a mirror.
But rather than undertaking a fundamental change in the way I face aging. I felt the place to begin would be to start small. A recent lunch provided a perfect example.
I’ve always found it extremely difficult to concentrate when I’m in a noisy setting. At this lunch with a friend in an outdoor restaurant, a landscaper began blowing leaves from underneath the bushes surrounding our table. Typically, after such a noisy interruption, I would have snapped, “let’s wait until he’s finished!. ”, then fallen silent. When the roar(吼叫)eventually faded, my roar would have drained(消耗)the conversation of any warmth. It troubled me that even a passing distraction(分心)could so easily take me from enjoying lunch with a good friend to a place that gave me no pleasure at all. I wanted this meal to be different.
My years in gyms had taught me to shake off pains and other distractions, never permitting them to stop my workout or run. I decided to treat the noise this way. I continued talking with my friend, challenging myself to hear the noise, but to hold it at a distance. The discipline was so familiar to me in the gym—this time applied to my mind— proved equally effective in the restaurant. It was as though I had taken my brain to a mental fitness center.
Learning to ignore a leaf blower’s roar hardly equips me to find contentment during my passage into ever-deeper old age. But I left the lunch feeling I had at least taken a small first step in changing behavior that stood in the way of that contentment.
Could I employ that same discipline to accept with dignity the unavoidable decline awaiting me like the finish line? Hoping that contentment will guide me as I make my way along the path yet to be travelled.
【1】The author’s question in Paragraph 1 implies that ________.
A.he feels unsatisfied with the result of the brain games.
B.he has never believed the necessity of mind training.
C.He has realized he should mentally prepare for aging.
D.he feels regret for not sharpening his thinking skills
【2】What can we learn from the author’s friend mentioned in Paragrph 4?
A.He takes physical illnesses as they come.
B.He fears that his illness will become worse.
C.He needs to find a way through those hardships.
D.He sees life as a series of disappointments.
【3】After that recent lunch, the author realized that ________.
A.he had made small changes to adapt to aging.
B.the restaurant was not an ideal place for eating
C.distractions were not uncommon in everything life.
D.his roar had spoiled the friendly conversation.
【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Benefits of Regular Exercise
B.Old Age Hate and Blessing
C.Never Too Old to Learn
D.The Secret to Aging Well

Kale looked past the door crack and smiled at the rise and fall of his mother’s breathing. He looked at the hall clock once again. waiting for the second hand to finish its circle. Three. Two. One.
. . Mom! It’s eight o’clock. Christmas morning. Time for presents. “ Kate rushed onto the bed, and climbed on top of the sleeping woman. But after a long night shift, Mom was too tired. She told Kale to wait for another half hour.
Though he was young, he was aware of their situation. His mother worked most of the day in a restaurant and it usually left her tired. He nodded, kissed her forehead and left the room.
Like most seven-year-olds, he had a problem waiting patiently for anything. A few minutes later, a thought struck him and he smiled. He could go and check the present by himself. “We wish you a Merry Christmas.” Kale’s singing died when he turned the comer. He saw their small tree with nothing but space underneath it.
Frustrated as he was, he knew that Mom was doing all that she could to make ends meet. It was true that he had no present, but neither did Mom. Kale held his disappointment back inside and went into the kitchen to make her breakfast as the Christmas present. Half an hour later, with the food prepared. he knocked at the door. Kate put on his most handsome smile before entering and presented her with the sandwich he made. “Merry Christmas, Mom! This is my present for you.” Deeply moved by her son, she showered his face with grateful kisses.
“Wait here, my young man.” She climbed out of the bed and left the room.
