Since July 2019， Shanghai has been the first city to sort their garbage．Staring on May 1"．2020， Beijing also became one of the members by introducing a new garbage sorting policy．Green garbage has come to China．

In the past， people put a lot of garbage into one pile and then took the garbage to landfill sites．These landfill sites， however， could pollute the land and water． So， if we can find ways to reuse or recycle more garbage， then we will cause less pollution．

The new plan asks people to put their garbage into four different boxes， one for each type of garbage． The brown box is for "wet garbage" （such as food and drink waste）， The red one is for harmful waste （such as batteries and electronics）． The blue one is for recyclable things （such as paper and plastic）．And finally， the black one is for"dry garbage" （everything else）． This "sort your garbage" plan is the same as other plans used by cities around the world． These plans have been very successful． In Canada， it's expected that 85% of plastic will be recycled by 2025．

Why should we sort our garbage？The reason is that we are producing increasing amount of waste every year．It's reported that Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year．Reducing that amount will surely help the environment．

However．the garbage sorting is a long journey as it takes time for people to learn and form a habit．More cities are on their way．By 2005 ，it's hoped most Chinese cities will complete the building of garbage sorting．

（1）How do the people Beijing and Shanghai deal with the garbage now？　　

A．	They put the garbage into one pile and carry it to the landfill sites．
B．	They sort the garbage into different boxes．
C．	They change most of the garbage into something useful．
D．	They trow he garbage away and burn it．

（2）If you want to throw away half a bottle of juice， which box will you throw it into？　　

A．	The brown box．
B．	The blue box．
C．	The red box and the black box．
D．	The brown box and the blue box．

（3）What's the structure of the passage？（P ＝ Paragraph）　　

（4）Why did the writer write this passage？　　

A．	To sum up some right ways to protect the environment．
B．	To give some successful examples of sorting garbage in some cities．
C．	To show us that the landfill sites polluted the land and water．
D．	To encourage people to get into he habit of sorting garbage．

When Chinese people talk about the mouse，they are likely to see it as greedy and dishonest．It mainly comes from a Chinese folk story about the cat and the mouse．

One day， the mouse and the cat made an appointment to attend a competition held by the Jade Emperor． It would decide the zodiac animals． However， the mouse did not wake the cat up and at last won by riding on the ox's back． So the mouse ranked first on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs， and because of that， people think the mouse betrayed his friend．

Probably not! Human culture is funny． There are always different ways to look at the same thing．

In another folk story， people treated the mouse as a great hero． It's said that the mouse created the world by taking a bite of heaven， bringing light to humans． It helped people survive by scaling firewood and gain seeds （种子）．As a result， many people respect the mouse by offering food and praying for success．

Since mice live together in societies and have many babies with a high survival rate，they also represent cooperation（合作）and reproduction．With these qualities，it's believed that people born he Year of the Mouse are smart and good at making money．
