Why do we need to throw less away? There are two reasons. One is that some resources (資源）are nonrenewable (不可再生的）.That means there is only a certain amount of that resource in the world. One example of this is oil. When we use up all the oil in the world, there will be no more.

There is another reason for throwing less away. All of our trash has to be put somewhere. Often, it is put into garbage dumps (垃圾場(chǎng)）. Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years. The dumps will be filled up with all this trash.

There are three ways to cut down on trash.

One way is to recycle. When you recycle something, it means it is made into another shape and used again. Old newspaper may become paper bags. A glass jar can be melted (溶化）and made into a bottle.

Another way to cut down on trash is to reuse things. You can wash and use again a bottle that can hold relish or something else.

The third way to cut down on trash is to reduce the    amount    of trash    you make, stop buying things    that you don ’t  need in the first place. Then reduce    the amount  of the earth, s trash.

(   ) 1. How many reasons    do we need to throw less away?

 Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.

Tibetan Antelopes (藏羚羊）

Tibetan antelopes are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75, 000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.

Golden Monkeys

Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. They move around in the daytime. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less food to eat. 

Elephants

Elephants are bigger than any other animals on land. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.

  Wolves

Wolves are not very big. They have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves’ food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
