Reusing and recycling may sound similar, but they are actually quite different. Recycling has become more and more popular around the world in the last 20 or 30 years, while people have reused materials throughout history. Nowadays, people are talking more about reusing as a better alternative to recycling.
So how is reusing different from recycling? Well, reusing something means that the object is still used for its original purpose. The goal of reusing is to help objects and materials lengthen their lives. If you had an old oven, for example, you could reuse it by giving it to someone else. Maybe that person could repair it or upgrade it but still use it as an oven. Recycling it, on the other hand, means the oven is taken apart. Its parts are used in different ways in new objects. When you give away clothes for other people to wear, that is reusing them. Cutting clothes up into rags is recycling them.
More people are now focusing on reusing in addition to recycling. They say reusing should be our first step, before we think about recycling. Reusing uses less energy than recycling. It also causes less environmental damage, because recycling often means that materials must be broken down or melted in polluting factories.
Clearly, reusing and recycling will both be important as we all try to be less wasteful. But perhaps recycling less should actually be our new goal--as long as it means we are all reusing more!
49. What does "alternative" mean?
(A) History. (B) Material. (C) Choice. (D) Step. 50. Which is the best example for reusing and recycling?
(A) Getting a second-hand cellphone in a yard sale is reusing; breaking a cellphone down in a factory is recycling.
(B)Using the same envelope again and again in an office is reusing; giving away the en-velopes you don't use to others is recycling.
(C)Wearing the same shirt and pants to work every day is reusing; throwing away your old shoes in the trashcan is recycling.
(D) Using the same cup to have water with your friends is reusing; putting the water bottle in the can for second-hand things is recycling.
51. What is the reading mostly about?
(A) The idea of reusing has been around longer in history than recycling.
(B) Reusing is more helpful than recycling to protect the Earth.
(C) Reusing and recycling have become more popular over the past twenty or thirty years.
(D) It catches more people's eye to recycle all the time because it is a better way to help the Earth.

Plastic is all around us. It's in the TVs we watch at home, the desks we use at work, and the pens we write with at school. It's even wrapped around the food we buy. Some people have had enough of plastic, though, and have chosen a new lifestyle. These people have become plasticarians, meaning they try to live life without purchasing or using plastic.
British student Thomas Smith decided to go plastic-free, telling reporters, "A bit of plastic you had for a second lasts longer than your lifetime." Smith tried to avoid buying anything that had plastic in it, which made getting even the simplest items, like toilet paper, difficult. Therefore, over a period of six months, he had a hard time keeping on doing it and eventually gave up.
Beth Terry, a woman in California, has lived mostly plastic- free for more than six years. For Beth, choosing a plasticarian lifestyle came out of concern for the planet and her health. Studies have linked some kinds of plastic to cancer and heart disease, and chemicals in these plastics can influence a baby's development. That's why some doctors say it is important that pregnant women avoid eating food stored in plastic containers.
It's never too late to start reducing the amount of plastic. You can start by giving up bottled water and teas. Instead, buy a reusable stainless-steel bottle and bring drinks from home. You can also buy food from farmers' markets, where fresh produce and meat are not packaged in plastic. Finally, it’s better to use soap and shampoo bars wrapped in paper than liquid soaps and shampoos that come in plastic bottles.
While cutting plastic out of your life all at once may be too much to manage, every journey begins with one step. Choose one plastic item to live without today, and you will be on your way to a healthier life and a cleaner planet.
52. What is the article mainly about?
(A) A woman in California who lives plastic-free
(B) Examples of and advice for living plastic-free
(C) How to completely cut plastic out of your life (D) How to lose weight by avoiding plastic
53.Why did British student Thomas Smith decide to give up plastic? (A) He wanted to experience how to live without plastic in his life for fun. (B) He thought that plastic could help him lose weight.
(C) He wanted to be healthier.
(D) He wanted to help the environment.
54. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the article?
(A) You should use a plastic bottle and fill it with water over and over again.
(B) You can start to bring drinks from home rather than buy bottled tea at a store. (C) It's better to buy soap and shampoo bars wrapped in paper.
(D) Studies have shown that chemicals in the plastics can be harmful to a baby's development.
55. What does the last paragraph imply?
(A) You should cut out all plastic immediately, or it will be too late.
(B) Since it's too difficult to live without plastic, we should just learn to live with it. (C) Don't try to cut out all plastic at once. Do it gradually.
