most chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. many guests like the idea because they dont have to bring their own. but, if you travel to beijing, remember to bring your own things. starting from june, some hotels in beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. they want to ask people to use less disposable things.many disposable things are made of plastic. people throw them away after only using them once. it is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. do you know, one chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! most of that waste comes from disposable things. in beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. so the less plastic we throw out, the better. so, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. try to do these things in your daily life: use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. after using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. then you can use it over and over again. do not use paper cups. at your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

a. butterflies and miracles b. sallys grandmother c. miracles are nowhere d. a funny thing happened to sallydchinese people love the number 8.do you have a lucky number? what is it? many people have a special number. they hope it will bring them good luck. in chinese culture, people believe some numbers are lucky or unlucky. this is based on the chinese word that the number sounds similar to. for example, the chinese word for the number 8 sounds like the word for “making a fortune”. so, people consider it a very lucky number. some people spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. the opening ceremony of the beijing olympics began at 8:08 pm on august 8, 2008.the number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors (皇帝) of china. there were nine dragons on emperors robes (龙袍). today, 9 often stands for “long lasting”. thats why a man always proposes to (向求婚) a woman with 99 or 999 roses.so whats a “bad luck” number in china? it might be 4. many chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. in hong kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4, 14, 24, 34 all 40-49 floors. some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as 13 is an unlucky number in the west. as a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may actually have only 35 floors.( )42. what makes chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?a. the shape of the number. b. the sound of the number in chinese. c. the history of the number. d. the sound of the number in english.( )43. chinese people like the number 8, because it means _.a. live a long life b. become beautiful c. make a fortune d. live a happy life( )44. what can we learn from the passage?a. many chinese people avoid the number 4. b. the number 9 is unlucky because it means “death”. c. all people have the same lucky number. d. the number 8 is a lucky number for foreigners.( )45. what does this passage mainly talk about?
