15.It is common that we may hear many stories of individuals who've adopted a zero-waste lifestyle,but it's not often that we come across an entire community that is trying to become waste-free.The residents of Kamikatsu,Japan,take recycling so seriously that they actually hope to become the nation's first zero-waste community by 2020.
Kamikatsu has no garbage trucks-so residents need to compost(制成堆肥)their kitchen waste at home.They also have to wash and sort the rest of their waste into 34 different categories,and bring it to the recycling center themselves where workers make sure that the waste goes into the correct bins.It apparently took some time for the residents to get used to this rule,but they eventually managed to adapt to the changes and are now seeing them as normal.The Japanese town has turned recycling into a streamlined process-there are separate bins for different types of paper products,and even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins.The labels on each bin show the recycling process for that specific item,so the residents know exactly what happens to their waste.
Reuse is highly encouraged in Kamikatsu-they have a local kuru-kuru shop where residents can exchange used items with new things at no extra cost.And the kuru-kuru factory employs women to make bags,clothes,and dolls out of these items.Businesses are also encouraged to participate in waste management-the town has a zero-waste brewery,housed in a building constructed of reused materials.
All the recycling facilities in Kamikatsu are managed by a Zero Waste Academy which also regularly hosts groups of local schoolchildren and foreign visitors,educating them on the benefits of a zero waste lifestyle.

33.According to Paragraph 2,we can learnA.
A.the Japanese town has made recycling a routine
B.there are part-time workers to sort out the waste
C.the labels show the citizens how to compost their waste
D.the kitchen waste must be sorted out into different kinds
34.What does the Zero Waste Academy do?C
A.it helps the citizens to exchange used items with new things at no extra cost.
B.it employs women to make bags,clothes,and dolls out of these items.
C.it educates people to live in a zero waste lifestyle.
D.it constructs buildings with reused materials.
35.What does the passage mainly talk about?D
A.The benefits of a zero waste lifestyle.
B.The effective management of waste recycling.
C.How can we use the recycled items?
D.How does Kamikatsu,become a zero-waste community?

5.Science can't explain the power of pets,but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack,reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some,an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic or held a hand in ice water.Subjects completed the tasks alone,with a husband/wife,a close friend or with a pet.People with pets did it best.Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.With pets in the room,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.It seems people feel more released around pets,says Allen,who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.Researchers at northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56fat people without pets were put on a diet program.On average,people lost about 11pounds,or 5% of their body weight.Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12pounds,more than 15% of their body weight.Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but,say Researchers,got more exercise overall--mostly with their dogs--and found it worth doing.

65.What does the text mainly discuss?A
A.What pets bring to their owners
B.How pets help people calm down
C.People's opinions of keeping pets
D.Pet's value in medical research
66.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well ifA.
A.he has a pet companion
B.he has less stress of work
C.he often dose mental arithmetic
D.he is taken care of by his family
67.According to Allen,why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?C
A.They have lower blood pressure.
B.They become more patient.
C.They are less nervous.
D.They are in higher spirits.
68.The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA.
A.people with dogs did more exercise
B.dogs lost the same weight as people did
C.dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D.people without dogs found the program unhelpful.

6.Do you always experience tired eyes at an even more frequent rate?What if your eyes are in such a kind of condition?There is no need to worry about it because it is so common nowadays.On the contrary,you should find the factors and then seek some appropriate treatments for them.
Some folks don't wish to waste even a second at work,even to blink (眨眼)for a fraction of a second.Staring constantly at the screen can cause stress to one's eyes.Sitting and staring at the television screen for hours can also make the eyes tired.
Bookworms love reading and they will make sure they read much more than their bodies can deal with.The desire to finish a book may result in fast reading,without taking breaks,which can lead to tired eyes.Continuous reading in dim light can also cause pressure to the eyes.
Decreased water intake and overindulgence (過度放縱)in salt-based junk food items like burgers,pizzas,etc.a(chǎn)lso play a role in causing tired eyes.These junk food items do not furnish the body with the required essential nutrients,thus causing a lack of vitamins,which also has an effect on tired eyes.
Stress at the workplace or at home and a noisy sleeping environment cannot bring enough sleep at night.Lack of sleep causes the eyes to become heavy.Dark circles are also seen to develop if one doesn't get sufficient sleep over a period of time.
Even though this condition is not fatal,it is stressful for the health of the body,and must be treated.If not treated on time,the condition can become worse and result in double or blurred vision.Here are some ways to treat the tired eye condition.
Every hour during your day at work,spend a minute relaxing your eyes.Look away from your computer screen and roll your eyes in both directions.Try and blink more often.Look around the room or close your eyes for a minute if you want and then work again.Following this every hour will help reduce overall stress on your eyes,and you won't feel so tired after work.
Caffeine present in the tea helps relieve tired eyes.Make a cup of hot black tea and pour it into a glass.Hold the glass close to your eyes,so that the vapors from the tea reach your eyes.This may be troublesome,so instead you can also use tea bags to relieve your eyes.Dip two black tea bags in a cup of hot water and once the warmth is bearable place the warm tea bags onto your eyes.This will also make you feel fresh.
If your eyes feel extremely tired at work,go to the washroom and wash your face with cool tap water.The cold water will help relieve the tired feeling.Do this every hour during work and you will find relief.

3.A smiling face with tears,or"Tears of joy",was chosen as the most popular emoji globally in 2016,according to a report(61)published(publish)by Chinese tech startup Kika.
In 2015,emoji was the country's fastest-growing language in the UK and"Tears of joy"also became the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year,(62)making(make)it popular on social media worldwide.
As a language expert pointed out,the reasons(63)forthis are as follows.For one thing,with the development of the Internet,especially the (64)popularity(popular)of smartphones,English alone is proving not enough to meet the needs of 21st-century digital communication.For(65)another,emojis can offer greater freedom than verbal language.Meanwhile,compared with text messages,they are often more intuitive(直觀的)and (66)more simple(simple),which is also the reason why more and more People choose(67)to express(express)their emotions and ideas by using emojis.
Even if you don't send emojis yourself,you will(68)probably(probable)receive them.
However,nobody can definitely-tell (69)whether/ifemojis will finally come to look something more like traditional language that we understand and use daily some day or they are just in fashion for(70)a while like many things."After all,it's an addition to language rather than a language itself,"Dr Drummond says.
