22、

We produce a lot of rubbish at home, at schools and in parks every day. Where does all this rubbish go? Scientists have made an up-side-down pyramid of the different ways to deal with (处理) rubbish. The worst ways are at the bottom and the best ways are at the top.

In cities, you seldom see rubbish in open areas because people usually collect rubbish and send it to landfills. A landfill is a huge hole that can hold rubbish. In some landfills, waste is treated(被处理) to make it less harmful before it is put underground. Once a landfill is full, people cover it with soil safely. A park or playground can then be built on top of it.

Another way to deal with rubbish is to burn it. This produces energy but also harmful gases. In some places, these gases are cleaned before they are let off.

In the middle of the pyramid is recycling. This means using rubbish to make new products. Used glass bottles, for example, can be remade into new glass products. People break up waste paper and mix it with water to make new paper.

Reusing is another effective way to deal with rubbish. This means using “waste” in another way. Buying and selling second-hand things online is a good example.

Waste prevention is at the top of the pyramid. It means not producing rubbish in the first place. For example, say no to throwaway plastic cups at the very beginning. Choose glass instead! You can use it over and over again.

【1】Where does rubbish go if people send it to landfills?

A．At home.

B．At schools.

C．In open areas.

D．Under the ground.

【2】What will people do when they try to recycle rubbish?

A．Cover it with soil safely.

B．Turn it into something new.

C．Burn it down and make energy.

D．Break it up and mix it with water.

【3】How do we achieve waste prevention?

A．By choosing reusable things.

B．By thinking of ways to reuse it.

C．By selling second-hand things online.

D．By collecting and sending it to landfills.

【4】How many ways are there for people to deal with waste?

A．Three.

B．Four.

C．Five.

D．Six.

【5】In which part of a newspaper could you possibly read this passage?

A．Health.

B．Movies.

C．Travelling.

D．Environment.
