26、 In Thailand, people use about eight plastic bags each day, almost 200 billion bags each year. As for causing ocean plastic pollution, Thailand is in the sixth place in the whole world. Thailand is waking up to the harmful effects of plastic pollution on our environment
A supermarket chain in northern Thailand is returning to natural materials for everyday packaging(包装) use, including banana leaves. At first sight, Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai looks just like other supermarkets that use banana leaves to wrap (包裹) food across Thailand. However, it is unusual to see this traditional, biodegradable (可生物降解的) way used in a big way. Rimping Supermarket says that it no longer provides plastic bags every Wednesday for customers upon entering the place. In the supermarket, something different can be seen on the goods shelves of fresh vegetables. Instead of plastic, fresh products are wrapped in banana leaves. The leaves are great for packaging and once the customer is done with the packaging, the leaves are biodegradable, greatly reducing the need for plastics.
“We have discussed our environmental programme for a long time in our company,” a manager of Rimping Supermarket said. “We tried other materials before, but banana leaves are our final choice since there are plenty of banana leaves in Thailand. But the difficulty is to find a way to keep the products fresh. Some vegetables are not suitable to be wrapped in banana leaves as it becomes too wet and doesn’t keep its freshness,” the manager said.
Rimping Supermarket’s store programme can be seen as a huge step for a greener, plastic-free earth.
【1】What is the problem described in the first paragraph?
A.Thai shop too frequently. B.Thai overpack their food.

【2】What can we learn about using banana leaves to wrap food?

【3】Why did Rimping Supermarket finally choose banana leaves to wrap food?
A.They are cheap.
B.They are easy to get.
C.They are the most environment-friendly.
D.They are perfect for wrapping fresh food.
【4】What’s the text mainly about?
