Look around you —— how many plastic things can you find in your house?Most homes today are almost full of plastic,from water bottles to clothes,chairs,and even computers.Regretfully,so are our rivers and oceans.
According to research,about 583 billion plastic bottles were produced in 2021.That is 100 billion more than just five years ago.In 2022,five trillion(萬億) plastic bags were used.That was 160,000 every second.Americans alone used half a million drinking straws (吸管) every day.
However,very little of the plastic that goes into recycling(回收利用) bins can make it through the recycling process.Experts think that only around 9 percent of plastic is recycled.About 16 percent is burned for electricity or heat.The rest ends up in landfills(廢物填埋地) or bodies of water.
So how do you make sure plastic things you use are recycled?Begin by making sure the things you put in your recycling bin can be recycled.And in most cases,plastic things can't be used again if they have more than one kind of plastic in them.That's because some plastics can't be mixed together.
How about those plastic things that are able to be recycled at a recycling center?First,workers make sure that each plastic is clean.After that,the plastic things are made into small pieces.At last,they are melted (熔化) and used to create new things.One of the commonly seen products is new plastic bottles.Recycled plastic can also be used to make clothes,pens,pencils,and building materials!

2.Passage A
Many of us have read stories or seen films about space-creatures.They come to Earth in spaceships that look like flying saucer(飛碟).These space-creatures do not look like human beings at all,but they are usually very intelligent(聰明).In one film,they were tiny little men with large heads.When they landed on Earth,they knew exactly what to do.They went straight to the President's palace and made him their prisoner!
The stories about space-creatures are,of course,not true.Space-Creatures exist only in story-books and in films,just like giants(巨人) and fairies.

Are scientists sure that there is no life on other planets?
