A small town in southwest Britain is banning (禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste-a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.

Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.

Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.

Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (寬限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.

The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”.

“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker(柳條) baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television.

The World Watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.

 

52. What was Rebecca Hosking?

A. A photographer.       B. A woman scientist.             C. A sailor.      D. A lawyer.

53. The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means        .

A. acceptable                B. valuable     C. environmentally-friendly             D. long-lasting

54. It can be inferred from the passage that         .

A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags

B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world

C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world

D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags

55. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Environmental Protection                         B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags

C. British Town Banning Plastic Bags            D. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea Animals

How to Make the Most of Your Time   

Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones. Include things you want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.

2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress.

3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done, done.

4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just say "no." You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the point and you'll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don't set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.

8. Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed.
   As families today get busier and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track. Don't delay; get your life in order now.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:閱讀理解

    why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock,such as divorce or death of a family member,seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness. One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed,many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.

    Recently,a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long―term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards,students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.

    In an experiment that followed,another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences(including loneliness,problems with family and friends,and health). When questioned immediately afterwards,they said that they did not feel any better. However,their blood samples(樣本)taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that right off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these “invaders”. This trend continued over the following six weeks,when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about

    The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself,and can increase the possibility of illness . It follows,then,that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems,but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run

 

72. In the first experiment,the students who wrote about painful events        .

    A. started to suffer psychological problems

    B. enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings

    C. were less likely to seek treatment for sickness

    D. couldn't deal with suffering effectively

73. People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment          

    A. had more bacteria and viruses in their blood

    B. had decreased feelings of loneliness

    C. showed an improved white cell reaction

    D. did better in their writing tasks

 74 What does the underlined word “invaders” refer to?

    A. The white cells.

    B. Bacteria and viruses.     

    C. Resistance to illness.

    D. The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.

75. What is the best title of the passage?

    A. Suffering and health.

    B. Inner thoughts and feelings.

    C. Illness and health

    D. Mental illness and social acceptance.
