The next day, I thught a lt abut what Ana had said. She was right.
I wish I culd say that everything changed vernight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Lserville”, and sme peple were still mean t me, even thugh I tried t just stay ut f their way.
But what did change was me — I stpped feeling s srry fr myself and did smething abut making friends. I signed up t make sets fr the schl play. I met a lt f new peple there, and suddenly I had friends t say hi t in the halls!
I still miss Illinis smetimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t s hard any mre. Even thugh I culdn’t change my situatin, I culd change my attitude — and that made all the difference.

Recycling in general can be an effective way t reuse natural material resurces. The U.S.’s high recycling rate f paper, 68 percent, has prved this pint. But althugh sme materials can be effectively recycled and safely made frm recycled cntent, plastics cannt. Plastic recycling des nt wrk and will never wrk.
The prblem with recycling plastic lies nt with the cncept r prcess but with the material itself. There are thusands f different plastics, each with its wn characteristics. When all include different chemicals that cannt be recycled tgether, making it impssible t srt the trillins f pieces f plastics int separate types fr prcessing. What’s mre, plastic recycling csts mre than new plastic because cllecting, srting, transprting, and reprcessing plastic waste is very expensive.
Despite this bvius failure, the plastics industry has begun a decades-lng campaign t keep the lie that the material is recyclable, which reminds the public f the tbacc industry’s effrts t tell smkers that filtered(过滤的) cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes.
Traditinal mechanical recycling, in which plastic waste is grund up and melted(熔化), has been arund fr many decades. Nw the plastics industry is prmting the benefits f s-called chemical recycling, in which plastic waste is brken dwn using high heat and turned int a lw-quality fssil fuel. In 2018, Dw Chemical claimed that the Renewlgy chemical-recycling factry in Salt Lake City was able t reprcess mixed plastic waste thrugh the “Hefty EnergyBag” prgram and turn it int diesel fuel(柴油). As Reuters shwed in a 2021 survey, hwever, the pyrlysis(高温分解) prcess was nt wrth it.
We’re nt making a case fr hpelessness. Just the ppsite(相反的). We need the facts s that individuals and plicymakers can take actin. Prven slutins t the plastic-waste and pllutin prblems exist and can be quickly cpied acrss the cuntry. These slutins include placing bans n single-use plastic bags and unrecyclable single-use plastic fd-service prducts, and installing dishwashing equipment in schls.
Cnsumers can put pressure n cmpanies t stp filling stre shelves with single-use plastics by nt buying them and instead chsing reusables and prducts in better packaging. And we shuld all keep recycling ur paper, bxes, cans, and glass, because that actually wrks.
28. What is the prblem with recycled plastic?’
A. It can’t be stred in large numbers.B. It can hardly be selected ut.
C. It is generally f pr quality.D. It csts t much t prduce.
29. What is the plastics industry trying t d?
A. T prve the pssibility f recycling plastic.
B. T cut dwn the cst f cycling plastic.
C. T uncver the lie f the tbacc industry.
D. T cmpete with the tbacc industry.
30. What is the furth paragraph mainly abut?
A. Traditinal recycling prves t be safer.
B. Traditinal recycling can deal with limited waste.
C. Chemical recycling can save energy resurces.
D. Chemical recycling turns ut t be a failure.
31. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T shw the difficulty in recycling plastic.
B. T intrduce a new way f recycling plastic.
C. T call fr a ban n single-use plastic prducts.
D. T stress the imprtance f recycling plastic.

These vides — apart frm being very cnvenient — are imprtant t teenagers because they allw them t express themselves, accrding t Teen Vgue.

Hwever, China has taken live streaming t a whle new level. In China, mre than 100 millin viewers mnthly watch a live streaming vide. Frbes thught that a number f factrs had led t the ppularity f live streaming. Amng them is viewers’ ability t interact while remaining annymus.
Hwever, the bm in scial media may be having side effects t. Fake news is ne serius prblem it arguably causes. Material shared n these platfrms is ften nt checked fr accuracy. The mst basic cntent can be false and can sway users ne way r anther. We use scial media all the time; that desn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having n us. We shuld be mindful f bth the time we spend n it and its impact n ur minds.
32. The underlined wrd “vlatility” in Paragraph 2 pssibly means “being _____________”.

Is Fresh Air Really Gd fr Yu?
We all grew up hearing peple tell us t “g ut and get sme fresh air.” 36 Accrding t recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in yur camping area is gd.
37 If the air yu’re breathing is clean — which it wuld be if yu’re away frm the smg f cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing xygen. If yu exercise ut f drs, yur bdy will learn t breathe mre deeply, allwing even mre xygen t get t yur muscles(肌肉) and yur brain.
Recently, peple have begun studying the cnnectin between the natural wrld and healing(治愈). 38 In these places patients can g t be near nature during their recvery. It turns ut that just lking at green, grwing things can reduce stress, lwer bld pressure, and put peple int a better md(情绪). Greenery is gd fr us. Hspital patients wh see tree branches ut their windw are likely t recver at a faster rate than patients wh see building r sky instead. 39 It gives us a great feeling f peace.
40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm ur skin, they als give us beneficial Vitamin D. T make sure yu get enugh Vitamin D — but still prtect yur skin — put n sunscreen right as yu head utside. It takes sunscreen abut fifteen minutes t start wrking, and that’s plenty f time fr yur skin t absrb a day’s wrth f Vitamin D.

On the day f the match, we std face-t-face with ur ppnents, the team frm River Primary Schl. Once again, Cach Leng reminded us t wrk as a team. The referee blew the whistle and flung the basketball int the air. I knew I had t give my team a head start, s I leaped up in the air t grab the ball. "Jhn, catch!" I yelled at the tp f my vice. Jhn was shrt but he culd run at lightning speed, and I think the ther team assumed he was the last persn I wuld pass the ball t. Befre the ppsing team culd reach Jhn, he had already sht the ball int the basketball hp. Our team cheered with jy, and I punched the air twice with my fist.
Jhn did a perfect verhead thrw, and I caught the ball in mid-air. As the entire ppsing team charged twards me, I kept my calm even thugh I was surrunded. I threw the ball ver their heads. It flew thrugh the air like a missile int the hands f Eric, wh was standing right behind ur ppnents, next t the basketball hp. Eric dunked the ball in. We wn the match 5-0. Finally, we managed t wrk as a team and Cach Leng was very satisfied. Each f us received a trphy fr ur amazing effrts. As I recalled the match, I smiled as I lked at the trphy. I realized that the mst imprtant thing was nt the trphy but the value f teamwrk that I had learnt frm that match.
