21、If you decide to become an environmentally-conscious businessman, you’ll need to know what alternative eco-friendly packaging options are available. So, let’s click and explore some sustainable packaging ideas for your company here!
1. Recycled and Reusable Packing Materials
Recycled cardboard and wrapping sheets are all readily available, being industry standard and made from earth-friendly organic materials. Using them can have an instantly positive impact on the environment, as millions of tons of cardboard boxes are thrown away as garbage every year.
Using recycled cardboard and paper will lessen this load and can decompose easily, keeping the planet healthy!
2. Recycled Plastic
It’s challenging when you have to choose a packing material for items that need extra support. Plastic, while environmentally-degrading, has long been an option for this, but the good news is that you can easily use recycled plastic from other plastic materials that have been thrown away.
These are much more eco-friendly and still check the box if you’re looking for green packaging options!
3. Eco-Friendly Fillers
Biodegradable packing peanuts are available which can be used instead of EPS or Styrofoam peanuts. They often work better than the regular ones and are easy on the environment as well. Similarly, bubble wrap is harmful for the environment, as it doesn’t break up, though you can use an eco-friendly option in place of it. One of the many options that you can use is a wrap made out of up-cycled cardboard to serve the same purpose as the bubble wrap. For insulation, you can use air pillows made of recycled plastic too!
4. Organic Materials
Cornstarch is an organic material taken from corn grains that has plastic-like qualities and can easily be used as a packaging material in many situations, making it a great option for sustainable packaging.
However, an even better organic option is mushroom packaging. With mushroom packaging, agricultural waste is added to mushroom roots to make organic packing materials. As it’s made from organic wastes, this is a great biodegradable packaging option that also won’t impact global food supplies!
Other organic materials, such as seaweed, are additional eco-friendly packaging options to seriously consider.
5. Organic Fabric
Sometimes, businesses use plastic bags for packing the items, though this is very harmful for the environment. Instead, organic fabrics are an excellent sustainable packaging option to consider. These fabrics include recycled cotton, hemp, tapioca, palm leaves and more. These bags are both reusable and very environmentally-friendly!

22、Now, Earth Day is celebrated around the world. We still face many challenges, such as climate change, plastic pollution, and deforestation. But we can all make a difference.
Her Trees Save Lives
Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was 12 when her family’s home flooded. Indonesia, her island nation, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters.
Adeline learned that mangrove trees play a key role in flood protection and rallied classmates to plant 200 trees during a school break. They started a group called Sahabat Alam or Friends of Nature, which works to conserve the region’s biodiversity and combat climate change.
Today. Adeline attends university, studying how businesses can help the environment.
Teens’ Two-Fold Invention
EPS—expanded polystyrene foam—is the white, lightweight stuff used to make things like takeout food containers, foam egg cartons, and packing “peanuts”. But it takes up a lot of space and is difficult to recycle. EPS breaks into small pieces as it floats down waterways into oceans, harming wildlife along the way.
Eighth-graders Julia Bray, Luke Clay, and Ashton Cofer looked at EPS’s chemical makeup and saw that it was mostly carbon. That sparked an idea. Could they turn it into activated carbon, a material that filters toxins from water?
After 50 hours of experiments, including one that accidentally set the family grill fire, they succeeded!
Solar for Her School
When Claire Vlases of Montana was in seventh grade, she learned about plans to expand and modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to the project. The board liked the idea but said it could contribute just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and adults who set to work raising the rest.
They asked for donations, even going door-to-door for them. And they appealed to charitable foundations too. One even donated half the cost!
After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now supply one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs.
【1】What do the three groups of teenagers have in common?
A．They are Earth-helping heroes.
B．They are from island countries.
C．They are high school students.
D．They are keen on experiments.
【2】How much did one of the charitable organizations donate for solar panels?
A．$25,000.
B．$50,000.
C．$62,500.
D．$125,000.
【3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To give models for colorful school activities.
B．To explore the ways to deal with plastic pollution.
C．To inspire people to act for environmental problems.
D．To display the amazing power of effective cooperation.
23、To my Charley on his wedding day:
I know you think these notes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer, I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring！
What I want to say to you, Charley, is that you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient. You should be the same with her, Charley.
Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have to work at it together. And have to love three things. You have to love
1) Each other.
2) Your children (when you have some).
3) Your marriage.
What I mean by that last one is, there may be times that you fight, and sometimes you and Catherine won’t even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage like a third party. Look at your wedding photos. Look at any memories you’ve made. And if you believe in those memories, they will pull you back together.
I’m very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose things.
I love you every day！
Mom

24、 I saw my first total solar eclipse(日全食）in 1999 on the coast of France.Little did I know that the experience would change my life and determine the course of my career.
＂Eclipse-chasers"aim to put themselves in what's called the path of totality,the thin region where the sun is completely blocked out.While partial eclipses are interesting,total eclipses are breathtaking.Full darkness descends(降临）as the moon blocks the sun and its shadow covers the Earth.Viewers can remove protective glasses and stare at the black circle with their naked eyes(肉眼）。Since 1999,I have travelled around the globe to witness 10 total solar eclipses.I have carried out a research program to document and analyze the experiences of eclipse-chasers,publishing my findings in the books Total Addiction and Being in the Shadow.
My survey data was interesting because it showed me that,again and again,the eclipse-chasers were saying the same things.It was so amazing.There is something about this experience that is so profound and really life-changing.I basically teased out the common elements of it,and it creates an acronym(首字母缩拼词），SPACED.
What happens is that we're standing there waiting for it to happen,and there's this"sense of wrongness"-that's the S.We're picking up that there's something in the environment that really is not right.This is the element that's very hard to describe to people who haven't seen it,because they just imagine that it goes from day to night,and we all experience that every day.But there's something otherworldly that happens;we just cannot communicate to other people how weird(奇异的）the environment gets.
And then that leads to a primal fear.The hair on the back of our neck stands up and we get goosebumps(鸡皮疙瘩），and this is the moment where the shadow comes towards us.We're looking at the sky and there's this creeping darkness;it's so ominous and really wrong and we just think,"What is going on?"So,that's the P,the"primal fear."
And then as totality comes above us and the darkness descends,and we're standing there in the shadow of the moon and seeing the eclipsed sun,it's just the most spectacular(壮观的）thing we've seen.That's when we get that sense of complete"awe"-that's the A.We know the emotion of awe involves vastness:We get a sense of the significance of something and how powerful it is in relation to us,and so we feel insignificant ourselves. We have to actually change our mental structures to help us understand what we're seeing because it's just so vast.
So,we feel insignificant,but we also then feel"connected"to something greater-and that's the C in SPACED.I myself feel connected to humanity and nature,so I just have this sense of how we are all one.It doesn't matter what color,religion,background,culture you come from,regardless of how you make sense of it;we all experience this.We are human beings standing there at that moment at that point in time,all connected with our experience.
And then afterwards is the"euphoria(欣快感）”－that's the E.There's such a range of intense emotion over a very,very short period of time,like a rollercoaster that happens within minutes.We have the most intense highs and it's incredible.
And then the total eclipse is over and then we are just left with this "desire to repeat,"and that's the D.It's so strong.If you're in a group of people who have seen their first total eclipse,the next question is"When's the next one?"People just can't fully understand the idea that that's all it is; they have to see it again.
【1】What can we find in the books Total Addiction and Being in the Shadow?
A.The path of totality in life.
B.The reason for solar eclipse.
C.The difference among eclipses.
D.The experiences of seeing eclipses.
【2】Why do people get the"sense of wrongness"?
A.Because they cannot explain the sudden change from day to night.
B.Because they cannot find the right words to express their feelings.
C.Because they cannot see solar eclipses with their naked eyes.
D.Because they cannot have much time to see solar eclipses.
【3】Why may people feel insignificant when seeing solar eclipses?
A.Because they all have nothing to share.
B.Because they are scared by solar eclipses.
C.Because they are shocked by the universe.
D.Because they are misunderstood by others.
【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 7?
A.Different people have different feelings when seeing solar eclipses.
B.Different cultures have different explanations for solar eclipses.
C.People connected with each other can have same feelings.
D.People have the same experience when seeing solar eclipses.
