Question

【題目】Passage 3

① Rebecca is a wildlife camerawoman from the United Kingdom. She was filming a documentary(紀(jì)錄片)for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) when she saw something that made her cry: hundreds of dead birds. They died because they accidentally (偶然地) ate some of the plastic that is thrown into the sea each year. The beaches on the Pacific islands should have been some of the most beautiful places in the world. But they were covered with plastic toys, bottles, pens, cigarette lighters(打火機(jī))—every plastic thing you can think of.

②Rebecca decided she had to do something In her hometown of Modbury in southwest England, she asked local shopkeepers if they could do something to help. She asked them to stop using plastic bags in their shops.

③Plastic bags are used everywhere in Britain. The numbers are amazing. Britain uses nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. And the bags can take hundreds of years to break down(分解) because they are made of chemicals (化學(xué)物質(zhì)). Each year, the sea and the environment become more and more polluted.

④To Rebecca's surprise, the shopkeepers agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag-free town in Britain. Instead, shops offer reusable cotton bags or biodegradable(可生物降解的)bags. Other towns followed Modbury's example and more towns around Britain and around the world are becoming plastic bag-free.

⑤Now the bag for life is part of the national culture, and the task of reducing the use of plastic bags has become law(法律): since October 2015, all shops in the UK must charge(承擔(dān)) five pence for each plastic bag used by each shopper, no matter how generous(大量的)their spending is! It's not enough, but it's a start.
