Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we cant eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. Thesewagesystem takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.41 . You can most probably read the passage in _.Aa history bookBa TV guideCa science bookDa telephone book42 .

For learning English pronunciation(发音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.

When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joes favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all!

It is the largest and best ship China has ever built.The new ship is Chinas second aircraft carrier and it has no name yet. Chinas first carrier is called Liaoning, which was bought from Ukraine and later rebuilt by China. The new carrier was designed in China and building began in 2013. It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide. That is a bit larger than three soccer fields. The ship must be completed at sea, which will take several years.An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea. It can carry planes and troops to war. Planes fly from and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it. Thanks to carriers, planes can fight along with warships. They allow planes to take off and land from anywhere in the ocean around the world,But an aircraft carrier is very hard and expensive to build. It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials. For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60, 000 tons of steel! It also uses complex (综合的) technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build.Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one.When the new carrier is finished? China will become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself, after the US, Russia, UK, France, Italy and Spain.70 . Whats the name of Chinas first carrier?71 . What is the size of the new aircraft carrier of China?72 . Please describe two uses of an aircraft carrier.73 . Is it easy to build an aircraft carrier?74 .
