T make things wrse, they put me in “Sectin L”. I fund ut later that everyne called Sectin L “Lserville”. It was srt f an pen secret that it was the sectin fr trublemakers and nt-s-smart kids. When I fund ut, I wanted t scream. I had always been a gd student and had amazing friends, and nw everyne thught I was a lser!
I did text my friends in Illinis almst every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted t hear all abut it. But then sme stpped texting back nce I said smething abut hw miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I cmplained abut anther friend wh had just dne that.

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!

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. They 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.
8. What is the prblem with recycled plastic?
A. It csts t much t prduce.
B. It can hardly be selected ut.
C. It is generally f pr quality.
D. It can’t be stred in large numbers.
9. What is the plastics industry trying t d?
A T cmpete with the tbacc industry.
B. T cut dwn the cst f recycling plastic.
C. T uncver the lie f the tbacc industry.
D. T prve the pssibility f recycling plastic.
10. What is the furth paragraph mainly abut?
A Traditinal recycling prves t be safer.
B. Chemical recycling turns ut t be a failure.
C. Chemical recycling can save energy resurces.
D. Traditinal recycling can deal with limited waste.
11. 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 stress the imprtance f recycling plastic.
D. T call fr a ban n single-use plastic prducts.

In the past decade, the use f scial media has grwn in a way that n ne culd have guessed. It has turned sme teenagers int celebrities (名人) and turned the famus int the infamus, vernight.
A key feature f scial media, hwever, is its vlatility. Trends cme and g, disappearing almst as quickly as they appeared. S, what were the key scial media trends f 2019?
Shrt vide apps such as TikTk and its Chinese equivalent Duyin, tk the wrld by strm. The Telegraph reprted that TikTk was ranked 8th n Apple’s App Stre in April. And Duyin had mre than 300 millin dmestic mnthly active users in June, CNBC said.
Why are these shrt vides — which are rarely lnger than a few minutes — s ppular? Jiang Yige, Singapre-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a thery. Shrt vides are “just right t fill in the little gaps in ur busy schedules”, he tld CNBC.
These vides — apart frm being very cnvenient — are imprtant t teenagers because they allw them t express themselves, accrding t Teen Vgue.
The sense f cmmunity that users f shrt vide apps get is anther appealing feature.

Live streaming is anther feature f ur scial media life that nw seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: Yu can watch anyne, anywhere, live.
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 streams. 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.
12. The underlined wrd “vlatility” in Paragraph 2 pssibly means “being ”.
A. changeableB. steady
C. prmisingD. vilent
13. Accrding t Liza Kshy, shrt vides are very ppular because .
A they are very cnvenient
B. they help peple kill time
