He said that he has supprted literacy fr many years. He believes reading skills are imprtant fr the cuntry.

Schlastic describes the prgramme n its website. It says the United States f Reader prgramme targets children in schls serving pr cmmunities. The cmpany said it has chsen a limited number f schls t take part this year but hpes t expand the prgramme in the cming years.

In Klkata, I met a flwer vendr wh tld me he gave up selling fresh flwers years ag. He ticked ff the reasns why his plastic flwers were better than the real thing: They cst less, lk real, and dn’t wilt (枯萎).
The miracle f plastics arrived in India recently enugh that there is n Hindi wrd fr the stuff, and in sme places take-ut fd still cmes wrapped in banana leaves. The lve affair really tk ff in the 1990s, as the rapid grwth f the glbal plastics industry c-ccurred with the develpment f India’s ecnmy. If in the U.S. the glden age f plastics ushered in (开创) the thrwaway culture f cnvenience, in India, affrdable plastic cnsumer gds simply made life better. Plastic strage cntainers, bags, and fd wrap helped keep fd fresh lnger. Bareft children culd get cheap shes, and inexpensive fabrics allwed them mre clthes.
Yet even with the imprving quality f life, the rmance faded fast. Befre the decade ended, India fund itself swimming in plastic packaging waste that utpaced any ability t cntain it. By the mid-1990s, newspaper accunts sunded the alarm. Plastic bags, handed ut by the thusands in department stres in Mumbai, were “suffcating (使窒息) the city”.
The prblem has since spread beynd cities t rural areas and even nature reserves. At the Rajaji Natinal Park utside Rishikesh, a city in the Himalayan fthills made famus in the West by the Beatles, wh spent several weeks there in 1968, elephants are eating plastics in dump sites. “There are many places just utside the frest where villagers thrw trash ut, and the wild animals g there t eat,” villager Mhammad Yusuf tld me.
In nearly every natin struggling t cntain plastic waste, the prblem is primarily packaging. Glbally, it accunts fr 36 percent f the nearly 500 millin tns f plastic prduced annually. India’s prblem has less t d with per capita cnsumptin than lack f adequate waste cllectin. In the United States, a persn creates an average f 286 punds f plastic waste a year, mre than six times India’s rate f 44 punds per persn. But the U.S. has a mre r less functining system f rubbish cllectin and dispsal (处理). Trash cllectin rates in India are ften lw.
8. What des the underlined part “lve affair” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Indian rmance.B. The miracle f plastics.
C. The industry f plastic flwers.D. Indian’s fndness fr plastic prducts.
9. What des the authr want t shw by mentining the elephants in paragraph 4?
A. The widespread plastic pllutin.B. The reasns why Rishikesh is famus.
C. The cncern ver natinal parks’ pllutin.D. The frward-lking nature f news accunts.
10. What is the main prblem with plastic waste in India cmpared t that in the U.S.?
A. The huge annual utput f plastic. B. The wide use f plastic packaging.
C. The inefficient waste recycling system. D. The large plastic cnsumptin per persn.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A The issue f India’s plastic pllutin.
B. The significance f plastic prducts t Indians.
C. The plastic waste prblem and its slutins in India.
D. The rise and decline f plastic cnsumptin in India.
D
The Earth’s ppulatin is expected t reach 9.7 billin by 2050. Experts estimate fd prductin will have t increase by 70 percent t keep pace with that grwth. Previus methds f agriculture will sn n lnger be an ptin. Accrding t a 2018 study, we have t turn away frm meat and dairy prducts.
U.S. custmers have prved themselves willing t test the waters. Americans spent $1.4 billin n plant-based meat in 2021, representing a market share f 2.7 percent f all meat sales. The plant-based fd cmpanies claim their burgers use less land and water and prduce less greenhuse gases. But, cnsider the pssibility that we left ur mst prmising resurce behind in the cean. Will yu swap meat fr seaweed?
“I think seaweed needs branding(品牌),” says Mark Kulsdm, c-funder f the memrably-named Dutch Weed Burger. As Kulsdm explained Dutch Weed Burgers are vegetarian but fr meat eaters. A decade after launching their first prduct, he and his partners nw sell abut quarter f a millin burgers each year.
Ultimately, Kulsdm is striving fr a culture change. “I believe we need t raise interest smetimes by using a bit f an unrthdx (非正统的) apprach t things,” he adds. “When peple get what they already knw, it’s nt that interesting. When their curisity is awakened, that’s when new things and ideas can enter their minds.”
In 2008, researchers discvered 14,000-year-ld seaweed fragments (碎片) in suthern Chile that had been pressed int cakes and clearly been cked. As they wrte in Science, all seaweed recvered at the site are excellent surces f idine, irn, zinc, prtein, hrmnes and a wide range f elements. Thugh Mark Kulsdm’s Dutch Weed Burger sunds futuristic, ne culd argue that they’re revisiting ne f the ldest stries we knw.
12. Hw are plant-based burgers accrding t the cmpanies?
A. They are healthy.B. They are nutritius.
C. They are delicius.D. They are envirnmentally friendly.
13. What des the underlined wrd “striving” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Leaving.B. Struggling.C. Preparing.D. Waiting.
14. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Chile is rich in seaweed.
B. Seaweed was the majr fd surce in Chile.
C. Peple have lng been using seaweed as fd.
D. Mark Kulsdm’s Dutch Weed Burger is t futuristic.
15. Where is the text mst likely frm?
A. A newspaper.B. A science fictin.
C. A travel guide.D. A textbk.
