二、阅读理解（共20小题；共40分）
The Green Movement is many years old now. It can not only help us save money but also
protect the environment. So what exactly can we do?
Recycle
Many things in your house can be recycled, from plastic bottles and plastic glasses to paper
products and glass. Most local governments have organized recycling collections. If you need,
they'll give you a green box for all your recyclable waste. This won't save you a lot of money, but
it will make you more aware of what you use.
Sell Your Mobile Phone (手机)
Your old mobile phone can be recycled and re-used. If you have one, make use of one of the
many online shops and sell it. You can get money—from a few dollars to over a hundred
depending on the model.
Join a Library
Libraries these days offer books, DVDs and computer games, so if you join your local
library, you can save hundreds of dollars in a year. It also reduces the amount of new products you

Everyone Can Change the World
What can we do to help protect the environment? It seems useless to just pick up
a piece of trash(垃圾), but what will happen if you keep doing it every day? Tommy
Kleyn, an ordinary man from the Netherlands, may give you the answer.
Tommy Kleyn walked past a polluted river on his way to work every day. It used to be a
beautiful view, but the trash on the bank made it dirty and smelly. So Tommy decided to pick up
the trash along the river a little bit at a time after work. "It took me about 30 minutes to fill
one garbage(垃圾) bag with trash, but one garbage bag didn't seem helpful in a place as
polluted as this. I decided to fill one bag of trash each day as I passed by," Tommy said.
Every day, Tommy took pictures of the river and shared them on his Facebook page. To
his surprise, in just six days, he had made great progress with his cleanup effort(努力).
He felt happy and kept doing it. Gradually, more and more people knew about Tommy's
story. Other people in the community began following in his footsteps and cleaning up trash
on their way home, too.
"The idea is to encourage people to fill one garbage bag with litter each day. It only takes 30
minutes, but it really makes a difference and you will be amazed at how good you feel
afterwards," he said.
People from all over the world have been moved and inspired(激发) by Tommy's
story. No effort is useless if we keep doing it every day. Ordinary people like you and
me can also make a difference to the world we live in if we take actions right now.
