• 2．Cigarette ends are everywhere--littering our streets and beaches--and for decades they've been thought of as "unrecyclable".But a New Jersey-based company，called Terracycle，has taken on the challenge，and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products.Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.
     Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and posters，between 2000 and 2014.jye.ai sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent，and a whole lot of those cigarette ends ended up as trash：Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways，cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. "It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water，" Temacycle's founder，Tom Swak，said. "Animals can also mistake cigarette ends littered for food."
     So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful？Terracycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts.They mix the remaining materials，such as the tobacco and the paper，with other kinds of rubbish，and use it on non-agricultural land，such as golf courses.The filters （過濾嘴） are a little harder.To recycle these.Terracycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces，and then combines them with other recycled materials，making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.
     They're now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can't be recycled，such as chocolate packaging，pens，and mobile phones.The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfills，and then get companies to provide money for the process.And now，it works well.
     "We haven't found anything that we can't recycle，" communications director of Terracycle，Albe Zakes，said. "But with the amount and varieties of packaging and litter in the world，we are always looking for new waste streams to address."
  
  （1）What does Terracycle intend to do？

  
  A．Search for recyclable materials for use.
  B．Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.
  C．Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.
  D．Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.
  （2）What does the underlined word "trash" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Rubbish.
  B．Poison.
  C．Disaster.
  D．Ruin.
  （3）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The effective use of cigarette ends.
  B．The process of recycling cigarette ends.
  C．The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.
  D．The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.
  （4）What do Albe's words in the last paragraph imply？

  
  A．There is more and more waste to be recycled
  B．It is difficult for Terracycle to recycle everything.
  C．Terracycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste.
  D．Terracycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste.

• 3．Rats and other animals need to be highly tuned to social signals from others so that they can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid.To find out if this extends to non-living beings，Loleh Quinn at the University of California，San Diego，and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robotic rats.
     They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat - one social and one a social - for 5 days.The robots rats were quite minimalist，resembling a chunkier version of a computer mouse with wheels - to move around and colorful markings.
     During the experiment，the social robot rat followed the living rats around，played with the same toys，and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape.Meanwhile，the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side.
     Next the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever.
     Across 18 trials each，the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one.This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being.They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviours like communal exploring and playing.This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier，and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped，says Quinn.
     The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design.The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels. "We'd assumed we'd have to give it a moving head and tail，facial features，and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat，but that wasn't necessary，" says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia，who helped with the research.
     The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues，even when they come from basic robots.Similarly，children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings，even when they display only simple social signals. "We humans seem to be fascinated by robots，and it turns out other animals are too，" says Wiles.
  
  （1）Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can

  .
  A．send out warning messages to their fellow
  B．distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile one
  C．a(chǎn)ttain sociable traits through special training
  D．pick up social signals from non-living rats
  （2）What did the asocial robot do during the experiment？

  
  A．It followed the social robot.
  B．It played with some toys.
  C．It moved around alone.
  D．It set the trapped rats free.
  （3）According to Quinn，the rats released the social robot because they

  .
  A．tried to practice a means of escape
  B．expected it to do the same in return
  C．wanted to display their intelligence
  D．considered that an interesting game
  （4）It can be learned from the text that

  .
  A．rats are more sensitive to social cues than expected
  B．rats are more socially active than other animals
  C．rats behave differently from children in socializing
  D．rats appear to be adaptable to new surroundings

      It all began when my younger brother，Chris，and I went over to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Howard's for Thanksgiving.My aunt and uncle live on a farm at the opposite end of town，and Chris and I love going there.
      We live on a farm，too and we had to do the morning chores before we left.When we finally got to my aunt and uncle's，we saw Uncle Howard and Dad cleaning out the turkey coop before dinner.We asked Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys.He must have been impressed，because when we were finished，he winked at my dad and handed me one turkey egg.
      "You kids put this under a setting hen，" he said， "and in twenty-five days，you'll have one turkey!"
      We were so excited that we nearly dropped the egg on the way home.We both stuffed ourselves at dinner and rushed to tend to our egg.
      We put this egg under an old hen，and every day Chris and I would check to see if they'd hatched yet.Twenty-five days seemed like forever.Finally，on the twenty-sixth day，Chris and I walked into the coop after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor.Behind her waddled one ball of fluff，falling over his feet and looking sort of bewildered.We named the little chick Timothy.
      Timothy grew and grew，gorging himself on the feed we threw out.He stayed mostly to himself，ignoring the chickens.Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy，because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving.But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.
      Then，one day toward Thanksgiving，Dad penned Timothy up and said， "We are going to make this nice，plump bird for our Thanksgiving dish." After Dad turned and walked away，Chris's face began to pucker and he started to cry.
      "Don't worry，Chris，" I said comfortingly. "We'll save Timothy，somehow."
