Most hotels often guests with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen(食堂), use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.48.Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____.A.cheap food and drinkB.disposable thingsC.good serviceD.free TV programs49.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Many disposable things are made of plastic.B.Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.C.Plastic is very bad for the environment.D.Plastic breaks down easily.50.What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?e shopping bags made of plastic.B.Do not throw away paper cups.e disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.D.Do not forget to reuse daily necessities(日用品).51.We can tell from the story that ____.A.people don't like disposable things at allB.we can't use paper or plastic bowls at schoolC.we should use less plastic things and protect our environmentD.hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save moneyCWhat colour is your name?
