If you were born after xx, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14, 4000 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to pletely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifespans greatly.The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It5s a munity in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is plete, and electrical and plumping lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered with concrete (混凝土)both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17 cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.The village is the idea of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize(使无效) the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”.28.What do the figures in the first paragraph show?A.

The project of the Plastic Bottle Village can raise peopled environmental awareness.D. Individuals can learn how to produce plastic bottles without polluting the environment.31.What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Eco-Friendly Plastic Bottle VillageB. The Negative Effects of Plastic BottlesC. How to Collect Deserted Plastic BottlesD. How to Popularize the Use of Plastic BottlesDMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theaters 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the buildings end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed proper. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modem theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to pete.

However, these plans were given up because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping plex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time.
