Some time ago, a friend working in a part of the city I did not know very well, invited me to visit him. It took me hours to get there and I drove round and round looking for a place to park my car.  At last I found a place in a back street.  As I was already half an hour late, I parked my car quickly and hurried off on foot. Making my way rapidly along the street, I could not help thinking that it was much easier to walk than to drive.
At noon, I left my friend's office.  It suddenly stuck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car.  Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was greatly relaxed to see a small green car just behind an old truck. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was very much like my own, it belonged  to someone else. Quite tired now, I was ready to give up the search when I turned the corner.  I nearly jumped with joy: my car was just in front of me !

How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
REDUCE
Reduce means “use less.” Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary--- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local produces if possible, and try not to buy too many things form abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.
REUSE
Reuse means “use again.” Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
RECYCLE
Recycle means “change things into something else.” Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
Why is it better to choose local products if possible?

A.Things from abroad do harm to our environment
B.Local products are much cheaper
C.To choose local products means that we love our country
D.Things from abroad aren’t necessary

According to the passage, when we find our clothes are out of fashion, what should we do?

A.Throw them away
B.If they are still suitable, keep them
C.Clean the floor with them
D.Give them to others and buy new ones

What is the helpful activity in our daily life?

A.To shop with plastic bags
B.To use paper cups
C.To collect old newspapers
D.To burn fallen leaves

According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?

A.We should learn to grow vegetables
B.People mustn’t produce waste any more
C.Children are too young to do anything to save energy.
D.The simplest everyday activities are important to protect our world.

Which of the following is WRONG according to this passage?

A.Always buy new things and throw away old ones
B.Use china cups instead of paper cups
C.Recycle something that can be recycled
D.Think first when we want to buy something
