阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
There's so much air pollution that it has become a problem. What can we do to keep the air
from being polluted anymore? Teenagers in different countries have different opinions.If you lived in Turkey in January this year,
you have probably noticed that the color of the
sky has been changing, and the number of
hazy(雾霾的) days has increased. When a
sandstorm comes, the sky becomes brown and
you can't see far. After a night of wind, you
see cars covered with sand. The main cause of
sandstorms is that people have cut down too many
trees. Now we are encouraged to plant more trees.
As teenagers, we can also tell our parents to
drive less often.
—John Smith, 15, Ankara, Turkey
Air pollution is one of the most serious
problems nowadays. Just take my experience as an
example: There's a factory near my home, which
produces gas(气体) that smells bad every day.
Sometimes it's poisonous and harmful to our
health. The gas really influenced our life because
we couldn't open the window for a long time. They
always think about making money, but how much
do they think about the pollution problems? If I
were a leader, I would make strict environmental
laws and make sure everyone obeyed them. I
would punish them seriously if they broke the
laws.
—Wang Yixiao, 16, Shanxi, China
It's not nice when the clouds get so dirty and
brown. The sky is full of smoke from cars and
buses. The rubbish that people throw on the ground
makes the whole street smell terrible. This makes
the world around us terrible. It's time to take action.
Instead of a car, why not ride a bike? Instead of a
drive, why not go hiking? And never drop litter
on the ground! Don't throw waste away—recycle
it!
—Arouge Chaudhry, 15, England, the UK

Many cities run campaigns(运动) to get people to stop wasting water. They show them
ways they can cut back on water use. 37.__E__ What's more, they carry out programs that offer
money to reduce water use. For example, they give people shower heads and toilets that

Another threat(威胁) to our water supply is pollution. When our sources of fresh water get
polluted, we can no longer use this water. This also endangers(危及) the animals that depend
on the water.

brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands. By collecting cold water
when we are taking warm showers, we can also save water. 40.__D__ In this way, we

Doing “Clean” Exercise
When you go for a run outside, chances are that you will find litter all around you.
Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you're part
of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.
The word “plogging” is the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”(pick up) and the English
word “jogging”(running slowly) put together.
What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect your hands.
While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify(分类) and deal with it correctly, too.
Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your
health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get your full body exercise. For
example, a 30minute plogging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories
burned from just jogging.
So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some litter along
the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.
Let's go 41.plogging!
The latest popular sport!
Just need a rubbish 42.bag and a pair of gloves!
Correctly classify and 43.deal with the rubbish!
It's simple but helpful to the 44.environment and your body!
Make the world 45.greener and yourself a lot healthier!
Join us now! The world says THANK YOU！
