Every day, people throw away lots of rubbish. This causes serious environmental pollution.Where does all the rubbish go and what happens to it?
Most of rubbish goes into “landfills”. Though we do not know exactly where all these landfills are, they are close to where we live. People hardly believe that most of the cities in China are surrounded by rubbish. Putting this rubbish in landfills takes up too much space. So we have another way to get rid of rubbish—burning. But this pollutes the air around us. We find the third way—recycling.Today it has become more and more popular, because it is much better than the other two ways.
In fact, most of rubbish can be recycled and reused. For example, wooden chopsticks be reused to make paper; glass and plastic can be made into new bottles. However, the traditional ways are not enough to deal with the growing quantities of rubbish. We still have a long way to go.
The Chinese government has realized the importance of recycling rubbish. It has made some rules and laws to stop people from littering here and there. People are also encouraged to sort(分类) rubbish and throw it into different dustbins. We should always remember: sorting rubbish is a new fashion!

You may often hear some myths(传言)about animals. For example, one dog year equals about seven human years, chameleons(变色龙)change color to match their environment... Today, let's talk about birds. It is said that if you touch a baby bird, the parents will completely abandon(抛弃)it. Do you really believe it?
In fact, most birds have a very poor sense of smell, so in most cases are unable to even notice the smell of humans on baby birds. Not only that, but most types of birds aren’t so quick to abandon their young when they sense danger. Some types will even do their best to protect their young when they are in danger.
Indeed, in very few known cases, parent birds sometimes abandoned their nests from something touching their young, just because they noticed it by sight, not smell. When this happens, the parent birds usually won’t care, other than to be a little more careful than normal. Sometimes, they may temporarily (暂时地) abandon the nest in order to better watch whatever disturbed their nest comes back.
What’s more, in most cases, even if the nest is destroyed by wind or something to that effect, you could create a new one and put all the baby birds back in it, and when the parents came back, they wouldn't care their baby birds were in a different nest, so long as you put the new nest near where the old one was so they can find it.

A.will never come back
B.will worry about their babies
C.won't mind
D.will take their babies away
