It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. People wanted to
17、 show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I neverdoubted that story even as an adult. It is difficult for me to find a lot of moneyon the ground, but pennies are there all the time.

22、解Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have. A US accent, perhaps imitates a Hollywood star speaker? Or maybe you want to imitate the British accent of a BBC news reader?Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a
23、British accent. Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Lets listen to what they have to say.Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UKA US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it.

29、ey will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if
30、 we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 2010 and 2015.It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much pac
31、kaging is doing serious damage to the environment. TheUK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is
32、not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But
33、this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more
34、 packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting.
