We have been used to wearing masks(口罩) in public since February.About 300 million masks are used and then thrown away every day in China. Where do these masks go? You might think they just go in a rubbish bin. But that's just the first stop on the masks' journey.

    After the masks are thrown into the bins,rubbish trucks empty the bins and take the rubbish to landfills(垃圾场) Next, the masks will be taken to rubbish incinerators(焚化炉) and burned.

    Burning masks might not seem to be very good for the environment. Won't it cause pollution?

    The answer is "no", according to China Daily. The main material of most masks is polypropylene(聚丙烯). It's non﹣toxic(无毒的) After burning, it changes into water and CO2.In fact, burning the masks can bring some benefits(益处). The process of burning the rubbish can produce electricity. Burning one ton of rubbish can produce more than 400 kilowatt hours(度) of electricity. Some people make a prediction that there will be 162,000 tons of used masks in

    China this year. Burning all of them can produce more than 64 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

    This is enough to make an electric car drive about 370 million km, which is 9,250 times as long as the earth's equator.

    At last, the slag(残渣) from burning masks can be recycled to make bricks(砖块) or fill the roads.

The World Health Organization(世界卫生组织) says air pollution kills seven million people around the world each year. Even if polluted air does not kill us, it can make us very sick.

B.

However, breathing dirty air may do more than hurt your body. It can also affect(影响) your brain and your ability to think.

C.

A new study shows that air pollution can cause a"huge"reduction(减少)in our intelligence(智商).The researchers reported that long﹣term exposure(暴露) to air pollution can affect a person's mental(智力的) abilities in two areas: language and math.

"The older persons﹣ they are more affected. And we find, quite interestingly,men are more affected than women. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.

G.

The researchers noted that the effect of pollution on language ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated.

H.

Why were language skills more affected than math? There are two main kinds of tissue(组织)in the brain: white matter and grey matter. White matter is more connected with a person's language skills, while grey matter is connected to our ability to solve math problems. Studies have shown that air pollution has a great effect on the white matter in the brain, but not the grey matter.

You don' t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change﹣and he's inviting bikers to join him.

    Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog (雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.

    Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike﹣sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air﹣cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face.

    It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze (霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions (排放物), to cover areas of China.

    In 2016, only one﹣fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

    Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art,on the other hand,is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art,however,are often made for everyday use.

    There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition.All of the pieces were made from used metal,wood,cloth,and plastic.The artists come from many different cultures.Still,they all share one thing.They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful,useful,and fun.The artists may not think of what they do as recycling,but that's exactly what it is.Fine artists might work with expensive materials.They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art.On the other hand,in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford.The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials.Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling.Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.

    Even if you don't create art out of rubbish,it's good to save our natural resources.Remember the three rules:reduce,reuse,recycle.If you reduce waste,true things instead of throwing them out,and recycle materials such as paper,plastic,and glass,you will protect the environment.

    Air pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries. Many people are dying from it. But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad?

    On a tree next to a river in Amsterdam, a tiny birdhouse glows (发光) bright green when the air is clean. If you're standing nearby, the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi﹣Fi connection﹣but only if pollution level is low enough. The designer is Joris Lam. His birdhouse tells you about the air quality.

    Joris' birdhouse is called TreeWifi. It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality. People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it. TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them. If the birdhouse does not glow, people should care more about the environment. It reminds them to change their lifestyles. For example, to protect the air, they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars.

    "Imagine if trees gave free Wi﹣Fi, people would plant more trees like crazy. It's a pity that they only give us the oxygen(氧气) we breathe," Joris said.

    The birdhouse doesn't work as a home for birds now. Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it. In the future, they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter.

(1)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

     Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park,a national park primarily in the US state of Wyoming(怀俄明州)?At Yellowstone National Park,.When they are heated for more than a few minutes,they will break up.

     In Atlanta,the USA,there is a popular restaurant which is very special.In the restaurant,waiters no longer throw uneaten food into litter cans.Instead,

     In America,a new activity known as "zero waste" is becoming popular.It is carried out in schools,cafes,gyms,parks,restaurants and other places."Zero waste" activity calls on people to produce less litter.It encourages people to reuse whatever they can.

     Although the idea seems a little unrealistic (不现实的),it is necessary.According to a new report,American people produce the largest amount of the litter in the world.Each person produces almost 4.6pounds of litter every day.More than half of the litter which is put into landfills is harmful.Actually,this is bad for the environment.Besides this,more landfills(填埋场) are needed.

"Nobody wants to have a landfill lying near his house,"said Jon D.Johnson from the Environmental Protection Agency,which helps to carry out "zero waste" activity."There are not enough landfills,so we can't put all our litter into them.We should try to recycle it as much as we can."
