Why do we like drinking water from plastic（塑料) bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy—you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.

However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy（能源）. If we reduced（减少） the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled（循环利用）all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.

So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example,

an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference. 29. Plastic products are made from _______.

A. energy B. oil C. rubbish D. plants 30._______ of plastic waste became rubbish in Greece in 2006.

A. 10% B. 50% C. 80% D. 90% 31.Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?

A. To recycle them. B. To make a piggy bank. C. To make a plant pot. D. To drop them into the river. 32.The underlined part in this passage tell us “_________”.

A. To make a different life, you’d better go outside. B. To look different, you’d better wear green clothes. C. To protect the environment, you can do something. D. To go green, you should use plastic products.

John went to see God after he died. God looked at him, feeling very unhappy, “You’ve lived in this world for 60 years. Why didn’t you get any result at all?” John argued(争论), “My God, I couldn’t become a successful person just because you didn’t give me any chance(机会). If you let that magic apple hit on my head, the man who found the law of gravity（万有引力）should be me.” God said, “OK, let’s try again.”

God waved(挥动) his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.

God shook(摇) the apple tree for the first time, when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John’s head. John picked up the apple, wiped it and ate it up quickly. God dropped another bigger apple on John’s head and John ate it up once again. God shook the apple tree for the third time, when a much bigger apple fell on John’s head. John got angry, picked up the apple, threw it out heavily. Then he shouted angrily: “The apple annoyed(打搅) my sweet dream! What a bad luck!” The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton’s head. Newton awoke and picked up the apple. After a long time of thinking, he discovered the law of gravity at last. The time returned once again now.

God said to John, “John, do you understand it now?” John asked, “My God, please give me another chance…I will …” God shook his head and said, “No. The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same, but each person’s ability(能力) to catch the chance is different.” 37. How many times was John hit by apples?

A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times. 38. What did John do after he was hit by the apple for the second time? A. He ate the apple at once. B. He got angry and shouted. C. He threw the apple out. D. He thought something over. 39. From the passage, John couldn’t become successful because ________. A. he didn’t have a good luck

B. God didn’t give him any chance C. he didn’t catch the chance

D. the apple annoyed his sweet dream 40. Which is the best title of the passage?
