If you are in Shanghai and want to throw a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps: first, pour out any leftover(残留物) into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper wrapper into a recyclable waste bin; finally, throw the single-use cup and straw(吸管) into a dry waste bin.
Sound complex(复杂的)? You’ll have to get used to it. From July 1st,2019 on, people in Shanghai are required to sort(将...分类) their garbage（垃圾）according to strict rules. Garbage is divided into wet garbage, toxic(有毒的)garbage and recyclable garbage. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar sorting rules.
Why should we sort our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing amount of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China Economic Net. Most of this waste is buried in landfills, which may pollute water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.
In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer(肥料). But in order to recycle efficiently(有效地), we need to sort our garbage.
Can’t garbage-processing companies do the sorting job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own garbage. Besides, the troublesome task of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?

Cherish the Valuable Resources
People already know a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.
| ♦ Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (紧张) when they are separated. Scientists have found that cows are very social (好交际的) animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows. When a cow is with its friends, it feels relaxed, compared with when it is alone. |
| ♦ During the breeding (喂养) season, a male penguin (企鹅) will offer a small stone to a female penguin as a gift. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her partner may carry it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests (鸟巢). |
| ♦ Crocodiles (鳄鱼) swallow (吞) stones. Crocodiles always swallow their food instead of eating it like other animals. They swallow stones to break the food into very small pieces in their stomachs. These stones may stay in their stomachs all their lives. |
| ♦Elephants use plants to treat pain or other illnesses. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Africa who ate a kind of plant which was not part of her normal food. Four days later, she gave birth to a baby elephant. The same plant was used by the local pregnant women. |

Do you like a small plant? The study shows that a small plant can improve our memory (记忆力) and make us happier. Even the small plants on your desk may have a more effect on you than you might realize. The small plants can help you to think more clearly. Studies have shown that the small plants could improve your concentration (注意力) by up to 20% and improve your ability to remember information by 15—20%. Plants can also reduce CO2 and improve air quality.
“CO2 should not pass 1,000 parts per million in the classroom.” Doctor Zhang in the Health and Safety Center said. He said this level can cause headache and even lead to poorer decision-making. Studies have shown that sometimes indoors plants can reduce CO2 from 2,000 ppm to about 480 ppm in less than one hour. Plants can increase happiness because there is endorphins (内啡肽) in humans. The shape, color, smell, feel and taste of plants can cheer us up and improve our memories.

There will be an activity (活动) about green life in our school next week.
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
Jack is a businessman. His main task is to sell “Living Machines”. He is very interested in clean water. He is also interested in saving money. So it’s natural that he is to be a developer of a small and affordable system (系统) to clean waste water. His “Living Machine” can clean waste water in your home.
The “Living Machine” is a system for cleaning waste water. The waste water goes into a big plastic tank where bacteria (细菌) start to break down the waste. A few days later after it is dealt with, the water is brought into a greenhouse filled with plants and fish. With the help of sunlight, the plants and animals remove more chemicals from the water, making it cleaner. Then the water can be reused for washing or bathing. It can’t be used for drinking and cooking. But the water is clean enough for watering the flowing, washing the dog, or even for bathing or swimming.
The advantage of this technology is that it is affordable and good for the environment. If you have enough homes and businesses use “Living Machines”, you’d better buy it. It can help to use less fresh water. It can help keep the water supply unpolluted, too.
【小题1】What is Jack interested in?【小题2】What is this “Lining Machine” used for?
【小题3】What’s in the greenhouse?
【小题4】Can the water be used for drinking and cooking?
【小题5】What does Jack want people to do?
