Dear Headmaster，
Lately our class has become worried about the environment at the back of the school，and we would like to do something to make it more attractive．We have done some research and have come up with a plan．With the help of our parents，we can do most of the work ourselves，but we will need a small amount of money for equipment，plants﹣and paint．I am writing to ask the council for permission to do this work and to ask if the school council could donate 500towards our project．
We would like to turn the empty land at the back of the school into a nature garden．We would plant trees and grasses，make paths through the garden and dig a small pond．We think this would provide a peaceful place for students and teachers to walk in．It would also attract birds，insects and small animals which students could then study in science classes．We would also like to paint the back wall of the school that faces the new garden．Some of our art classes could then paint a huge picture on it．It might be possible to paint over the wall each year so the next classes can make a new picture．
Lastly，we would like to paint all the rubbish bins．At the moment they look old and the paint is coming off．If we paint them in bright，attractive colours，students might be more likely to use them．We think our plan would greatly improve the back of the school and everyone in the school would benefit．We have already asked our parents and they have promised to donate one weekend of their time to help us complete the project．
We hope you will give us permission for this worthwhile project and will be able to donate the ＄500we need．When we have finished the work，we hope the council will join us in a celebration morning tea so that the whole school can thank you．
Yours sincerely，
Jim White

A new rubbish sorting system （垃圾分类系统） has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing． Local people not only sort their rubbish， but also put QR codes（二维码） on it．
"When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen， I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money，" one of the local people told reporters． "It's really creative and encouraging．"
This smart system has been carried out in 350communities in Beijing． The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting． For example， Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish sorting rubbish correctly．
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year． Much of the rubbish is buried（填埋） in soil or burned without being sorted． Landfills（填埋场） take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby． And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases． Through rubbish sorting， we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution．
What's more， rubbish sorting saves resources， which could bring economic benefits（经济利益）． For example， a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850kg of paper， saving 17trees and 50percent of water． Because of their benefits， some countries have developed successful sorting systems．
Japan has a strict and detailed system． When people throw away a water bottle， the cap， the wrapper（包装纸） and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins． Every year， families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments． They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish．
In Australia， every family is provided with three rubbish bins﹣﹣the red lid（盖子） bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags， the yellow lid bin for "recycling" like steel and glass， and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves． On the streets， the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside． It makes recycling quite easy．

B． The yellow lid bin．
C． The green lid bin．
D． The black lid bin．
45． Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？

I'm not the kind of mother who often brushes her daughter's hair， and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it．
But today， I took a chair outside and let my daughter Kitty sit on it． She was sitting high with her eyes closed， skin still wet from the shower and her messy hair behind her back． I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands． Today we would send Kitty away for a week of a summer camp． This was all my idea． She's nearly 12， and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24hours a day． Living on the farm without neighbours， Kitty has become increasingly dependent（依赖的 ） on me．
After lunch， we drove to the camp place． After we got out of the car， we were introduced to the other children． Kitty followed me closely， holding my hand all the time． "I need you for a few more minutes．" she said to me， horror in her eyes．
I pulled away and walked up to a camp worker．"Excuse me，" I said loudly， "I'd like to introduce you to my daughter． Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids．" He came over to talk to Kitty and I kissed on her face． Then we all disappeared before Kitty realized we had left．
On my way home， I felt a piece of my soul（灵魂） had been taken away from my body． I began to shake． Tears came down my face． When I arrived home， I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path． "I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself， out of my shadow （影子）． If I don't set her free， I'm afraid she won't be independent（独立的） forever．" I said to myself．
