There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or pla

21、stic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the produc

22、ing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is v

23、ery serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it r

However, we dont seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice,

26、 but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”32. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used

27、to_.A. introduce points for discussionB. tell readers how to save moneyC. express the authors doubtsD. show the kindness of the cashier33.

30、ion, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behaviors.

31、tion of coffee has health risks. Dr.Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.
