Garbage classification, whether you are accustomed to it or not, is making a change to the way how we live. Taking our community as a example, dustbins in different colors have been putting into use and most residents are clear about the rules of classification but willing to follow it. Though it takes a little more time for individuals sort out their own garbage, it saves the government a largely amount of time and allows more things to be recycled. By this way, we are shouldering our share of responsibility as citizen.

How long does a year last? 1. But your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
2. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and process new information to decline. Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. 3. However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they’re happening more quickly.
4. People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period. Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts (first day of school, first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.), they seem to be in slow motion? That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever.
For many adults, life is routine. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many novel (新奇的) things to remember. 5.
A.Children might say that a year lasts forever.
B.Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
C.Different people have different feelings toward time.
D.This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time.
E.As we grow older, we become less interested in new things.
F.According to scientists, our brains degrade and change over time.
G.In addition, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological reasons.
Have you ever had a burger without meat? You might think that a vegetable burger will take away the real meaning of a burger as it will not have the juicy taste of meat. Despite these concerns, the company, Beyond Meat, has managed to successfully make plant-based meat.
On May 2, the company became the first vegan company to become public. Beyond Meat’s initial share price was expected to range from $19 to $21. Impressively, just hours later, Beyond Meat’s stocks rose to $73!
Instead of killing animals, Beyond Meat obtains these components from different plants and combines them to make vegan meat. It contains pea protein that gives the chewy, meaty texture along with canola oil, coconut fat and other binding agents. In addition, the company uses beet juice to simulate the bloody look of beef! The plant proteins are subjected to intense heating, cooling and pressure so that their structure becomes fibrous and copies that of animal meat.
For people who have changed their diet but miss the taste of meat, Beyond Meat satisfies their taste buds. It also has all the nutrients and elements that meat has, but does not come from an animal.
Plant-based meat is also beneficial as fewer animals are killed. As our world’s population continues to grow beyond 7 billion, so does the demand for meat. Livestock farming is not sustainable as it requires more land, consumes more energy and is one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases. Beyond Meat uses 99 percent less water and 93 percent less land. It also has 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and it uses 46 percent less energy.
However, there are some people who do not like the smell of a Beyond Meat patty. Others question that processed foods are unhealthy and it is safer to choose whole vegetables instead. Regardless, with another company, Impossible Burger, looking to go public soon, as well as companies such as Tyson Foods and Nestle looking to enter the market, plant-based meat is here to stay. These companies hope to convince many people to switch from meat to plant-based alternatives.
1.Why did Beyond Meat’s stocks rise sharply?
A.People found it convenient to buy plant-based meat.
B.People believed the bright future of the company.
C.People preferred to spend more money buying meat.
D.People are becoming vegans in life.
2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.What is made up of meat.
B.Why plants can be made into meat.
C.How plant-based meat is made.
D.Whether plant-based meat is allergenic.
3.What is one of the features of plant-based meat?
A.It makes farming sustainable.
B.It contains all the nutrients people need.
C.It doesn’t have the taste of meat.
D.It is environmentally friendly.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Plant-based meat will become a new trend.
B.All people prefer plant-based meat.
C.Vegan companies produce unhealthy food.
D.The smell of plant-based meat is disgusting.
