But a New Jersey based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse. Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking, but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging, between 2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water,” TerraCycle founder, Tom Szaky, said. “Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food.” So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products. Theyre now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently cant be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to provide money for the process. And so far, its working.21. What does TerraCycle intend to do? A. Search for recyclable materials for use.B. Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible. C. Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D. Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.22. The underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. rubbishB. poison C. disaster D. ruin23. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The effective use of cigarette ends.B. The process of recycling cigarette ends. C. The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends. D. The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.BFor the Swiss, punctuality is a source of deep satisfaction. They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner. Whenever I visit Switzerland, I go through several stages of punctuality reaction. At first it delights me, especially if Im coming from Neighboring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping. By contrast, life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable. If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm, they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55,for that matter). I like this, for a while.Then it annoys me. The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean, and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that, “punctuality is the virtue of the bored.”That is unfair though, and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is: a deep expression of respect for other people. A punctual person is a considerate one. By showing up on time for everything, a Swiss person is saying, in effect, “I value your time and, by extension, I value you.”Its no coincidence that the Swiss are the worlds watchmakers. Which came first, the precise clocks and watches or the precise people? Hard to say, but the result is the same: a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time.How to explain this punctuality? No one knows for sure. But a popular theory is that, historically, it arises from the tough, mountainous area. Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them at the correct time or, well, you starved.Punctuality, sadly, is a dying art in many parts of the world. Mobile phones are partly to blame. We feel less compelled (紧迫的) to arrive on time if we can always text to say were running a few minutes late. I dont sense that is happening in Switzerland, though.Punctuality is not without its weaknesses. Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation, and if that expectation is not met,disappointment follows. On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly, the Swiss get nervous, confused and angry.24. Whats NOT the authors attitude towards the Swiss punctuality? A. Pleasant.B. Exhausted.C. Annoyed.D. Appreciated.25. What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time? A. To show their respect for other people. B. To show that they have the best watches. C. To show that they are considerate persons. D. To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world.26. The passage is probably taken from a _. A. A history book B. A business newspaperC. A cultural guidebook D. An economic magazineCA contest organized by Airbnb is offering three lucky winners the chance to spend a night in the company of sharks. The winners and their guests will get access to a transparent (透明的) glass bedroom in the 33-foot deep Paris Aquarium where 35 sharks are living.Interested applicants, who must be 18 years or older and in good health, can apply for the contest through the Airbnb website. “On the 11th, 12th, and 13th of April, the Paris Aquarium will open its doors for a night in a room full of sharks,” the website states. “And not just any room: you will sleep in a round bed, with a breathtaking view of the world of sharks.”The unusual event will be hosted by a free diver, photographer, and shark enthusiast Fred Buyle, and a biologist will provide the winners with a special course on sharks - their mysterious lives and their role in the oceans ecosystem, with which the winners can better understand the sharks and thus avoid disturbing their life in the aquarium when they stay there.Upon arrival, the winners will first be taken to their room for presentations, followed by dinner at the shark tunnel and a night stay among the sharks. A twin bed, soap, toilet paper, and shampoo are all included in the package, as well as breakfast the next morning. The stay is completely free, and so is the travel arrangement to and from Paris.Applications must also include a message addressed to the judges.

Of course, an Airbnb account is a must requirement for every applicant.If selected, the winners will be forbidden from diving or swimming in the aquarium, and will be required to keep their hands and feet indoors at all times.

Along with feelings of insecurity, loss of control and nervousness, physical effects, including sleep issues, tiredness and loss of appetite, are also caused by homesickness. 31 Check them out below: Realize that feeling homesick is 100 percent normal.Almost everyone experiences homesickness when moving to a new place-some people might just be better at hiding it. 32 Homesickness is a normal and evolutionarily healthy reaction. Make connections with new people in comfortable settings.Feeling homesick when separated from loved ones motivates people to want to be with those supportive people. 33 When making new connections,its best to stick to the style that works for you in order to ease homesickness. 34 This point is vital and also one of the hardest to accomplish.

Keep tabs on your negativity.Its also useful to ask yourself how much of your homesickness is due to an event, such as being separated from loved ones, and how much is from how youre understanding a situation. 35 A positive outlook on a situation can do wonders for your mood, but it often can be hard to practice. You can silence negative thoughts in many ways, including reciting positive mantras (祷文), keeping a journal or even taking a walk in a park. If youre dealing with feelings of homesickness, remember youre not alone. Even though theres no place like home, give yourself some time and care, you might find yourself falling in love with a new place.A. Learn to help others.B. Practice self-compassion.C. Being homesick is abnormal.D. Being homesick is not a sign of personal shortcoming.E. We gathered a few psychologist-backed tips to help ease homesickness.F.
