most chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. many guests like the idea because they dont 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 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. 66. why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?a. let their guests be convenient during their travelling. b. hope their guests use less disposable things.c. wish their guests to save money. d. want their guests to use more disposable things.67. some beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with _.a. cheap food and drink b. disposable things c. good service d. free tv programmes68. 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. 69. what can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?a. use shopping bags made of plastic. b. do not throw away paper cups.c. use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks. d. do not forget to reuse daily necessary things.70. we can tell from the story that _.a. people dont like disposable things at allb. we cant use paper or plastic bowls at schoolc. we should use less plastic things and protect our environmentd. hotels wont provide disposable things because they want to save moneydthe greatest wonder of the natural worldwhen i arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. i got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. in the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. i knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.after about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “am i going the right way?” i asked. he knew where i was going. “yes,” he replied. “youll get there in five minutes.” finally, i came to some rocks, and stopped. i looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. the sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. i saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. i was on the edge of the grand canyon(大峡谷), one of the wonders of the natural world.i looked down to the colorado river about 2 kilometers below me. if you put three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still wont reach the top. then i looked across to the other side of the canyon. how far is it?
