Curiosity（好奇心） is part of human nature．Children are known for wanting answers to many questions.Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity.People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens.But curiosity also provides many advantages．

    Learning is the easiest if you have a real desire for knowledge．Curiosity can create that desire when you want an answer to the question． Many of history's greatest discoveries were made by curious people．People wondered how things worked and how work could be done more effectively．Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world．Even if you don't plan to be an inventor or researcher,curiosity can still help you in the classroom.If you develop the joy of learning,classes will become more fun．Even if you're no longer a student， curiosity will make you knowledgeable and thus a good worker．

    What do you do if you're not already curious?Luckily,curiosity is a skill that can be improved.If you act like you're curious， you'll quickly start to actually feel curious．Often， the more you learn about a topic，the more interesting it becomes．As you learn about a topic，find information from as many ways as possible.Read books,listen to lectures and ask questions．Don't always get information in the same way.Instead，learn to appreciate the facts that different people know and ask a lot of questions．Remember, everyone knows something that you don't． Find out what that is and ask about it.This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by sharing their knowledge．

 Today，more and more foreigners learn mandarin（普通话），which is a good sign that China plays an important role in the world.As foreigners study Chinese culture，they are attracted by the variety（多样化）.

    Chinese calendar is different from the one used in western countries.New Year's Day is in late winter.It is also called the Spring Festival.It has a big celebration of ringing out the old and ringing in the new.It has special foods and traditions.For example，sweeping the floor before New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.

    The Chinese zodiac（生肖），known as Sheng Xiao，follows a twelve﹣year cycle.Each year is named for an animal.These animal signs are the rat，ox，tiger，rabbit，dragon，snake，horse，sheep，monkey，rooster，dog and pig.Rabbit is the fourth in the 12﹣year﹣cycle of Chinese zodiac signs.If a baby is born in 2023，his Chinese zodiac is Rabbit.

    Chinese food is very important for Chinese families.Different foods have special meanings.The main difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks.One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice.Another one is noodles.Noodles are really popular and common in the north of China.Tea is a favorite drink and it is popular in the market.

    Chinese is a complex language.Chinese writing developed almost 4，000 years ago and may even be older.Chinese writing has thousands of characters.A character stands for a word and also a meaning.Besides Putonghua，Chinese people speak six other forms of the language，and there are many kinds of dialects.

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws（吸管）and bags.More and more businesses are switching（转换）to paper products as an alternative（可供选择的事物）.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic.However，it is harmful to the environment，too.

    Firstly，paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees，as you know，can reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.They can slow down climate change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more deforestation（毁林）.

    Secondly，the production of paper things requires more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However，it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short﹣lived.

    Furthermore，paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That means they require more fuel to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags，while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.

    Paper products are actually a lose﹣lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents，while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.The most environment﹣friendly solution is to avoid single﹣use things altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.Through increasing the use of these items，you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place!

47.What can trees do to the environment？ 　   　

A.They can make carbon dioxide levels lower in the air.

B.They can improve climate quickly.

C.They can cause more deforestation in the end.

D.They can provide materials for paper products.

48.From Paragraph 4，we can know that  　   　.

A.plastic products are much better than paper ones

B.paper products are easy to transport

C.one truck is needed to transport two million plastic bags

D.plastic products often lead to a larger amount of a waste

49.Which is the following should people use in order to protect the environment？ 　   　

A.Recycled paper bags.  B.Steel knives and forks.

C.Strong plastic chairs.  D.Single﹣use cups.

50.What is the purpose of the passage？ 　   　

A.To push for an end to plastic straws and bags.

B.To tell readers the disadvantages of paper products.

C.To push the use of environment﹣friendly products which can be recycled.

D.To introduce the importance of making our earth a greener place.
