A
We buy things, use them, then throw away the packaging, largely unaware that most of our trash ends up in landfills where it can sit for decades, polluting the soil and ecosystems around it．Reducing the amount of garbage we produce in the first place is one of the best ways to save the planet．
From Jan．1 to Dec．31, 2012, I saved every piece of my garbage．No, I’m not homeless, and I didn’t lose my mind．Keeping all my trash meant literally living with the impact of my daily decisions, which led me to make dramatic changes in my lifestyle．
I should clarify that I saved all my nonbiodegradable (不能生物降解的) trash—things like glass, foam, and plastics, which don’t rot naturally．I set aside banana peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and other biodegradable waste for composting (制成堆肥)．Just as I washed my dishes, I scrubbed my soda cans, potato chip bags, and juice bottles with soap and water and hung them on my dish rack to dry．“Doesn’t your trash stink?” people often asked．As long as I washed and dried everything, it didn’t smell．
I believe that “waste” is actually a resource that can be used rather than discarded．Saving my trash allowed me to recycle or “repurpose” it．Rather than throw out my plastic bags, I’ll put them into plastic bottles that can be sued as “bricks” to build bus stops, benches, and even houses．This spring, I was part of a group of students at the University of California, Davis, who used plastic bricks to create a bench for the campus．
Though I won’t be saving all my trash again this year, my experience has permanently changed my consumption habits．Every time I go to the grocery store, I bring reusable bags．And I avoid consuming drinks from glass bottles．In short, I’ll never again be able to buy anything without pausing to ask myself: Is this really something I need? Is there a way to get it that involves less waste? I also hope that all people will see “waste” as just a resource in the wrong place．

Mountain biking is a great way to explore the outdoors, stay in shape, or just have fun．Racing down the side of a mountain is a lot of fun indeed, although it can also be quite dangerous．Even though it’s dangerous, if you ride with caution, it can be enjoyed by the entire family．
Mountain biking can best be characterized into three different styles — downhill, free riding, and cross country．Even though the different styles are similar in some ways, they still require different skills．The style that you pick will determine the type of bike you get．
You can find groups that have mountain bike rides and competitions．You can look on the Internet or even in a local paper and see exactly what’s available in your area．You may be able to find groups for the more advanced riders as well as beginners．Endurance and stamina are a must for a great mountain biker．It will also take ambition and practice to succeed as well as conquer the course．Like all other sports, it takes time and practice．Those just beginning will have to get past the bumps and bruises from falling off the bike．
The bike you select is more of a personal choice, and a big determining factor on the type of riding you will be doing．Bikes come in all styles, shapes, and prices, which will make selecting one for yourself very difficult indeed．Before you buy a bike, always ask to try it out first．A great mountain biker will become one with his or her own bike．When buying, make sure you check for comfort, how it fits．
Mountain bike riding on unpaved roads can be very dangerous, as mentioned earlier．Anytime you are riding, you should wear a helmet, along with knee and elbow pads．If you are following a group or riding in the woods you should strongly consider a pair of goggles as well．Safety should be your top priority and never taken lightly anytime you are mountain biking．

In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days．Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm．However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects．Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded

B．how to become a great mountain biker D．how the mountain bike works B．Requirements for a great biker D．Locations for mountain biking
and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic．People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects．Elsewhere, heavy tropical（热带的）storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia．This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them．If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too．This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage．
Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years．Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise．This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level．It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging（伐木）or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming．
66．From Paragraph 1, we can see that most Singaporeans love________．
A．making complaints C．doing window-shopping
B．going out for picnics D．traveling along the coast
