A new law came into use in Shanghai on Monday, requiring every individual, families and companies to sort (分类) their trash into different trash cans. Locals are now required to separate trash into four kinds: food waste, residual waste, harmful waste and recyclable waste. According to the new law, a 200-yuan fine can be given to individuals or families who do not follow it. 1.
On the first day of practice of the rules, it was found that 38.1 percent of hotels and 33.2 percent of companies didn’t meet the requirements. 2. The success in residential (居民的) neighborhoods was a result of early practice in pilot(试点的) neighborhoods around the city, which had caused mixed feelings among the public since June.
3. Some people praised Shanghai for being a role model and taking active steps to solve the trash problem in big cities, while others complained about the inconvenience the rule has brought to their daily lives, and made jokes about sorting their garbage.
The final goal of the trash sorting program is to reduce waste and increase recycling. Shanghai’s 24 million residents produce 56, 000 tons of trash every day. 4. Actually, Shanghai is not fighting alone in the battle against trash disposal, as trash sorting has been popular nationwide. 5. Those cities will set up a basic system to classify and dispose of their household garbage by 2020, and by 2050, cities at the prefecture level (地级) and above should have the system in place.
A. Only 7.4 percent of the residential neighborhoods needed to be corrected.
B. Sales of trash cans on Taobao also increased before the regulation took effect.
C. On Sina Weibo, the topic of trash sorting has caused a heated discussion.
D. People in different cities have different attitudes towards sorting their trash.
E. Most of the trash ends up being buried, which wastes precious land and can pollute water and soil if not solved properly.
F. The country plans to have 46 major Chinese cities to join in it, including Beijing and Guangzhou.
G. And for companies, the fine can hit 5, 000 to 50, 000 yuan.
Whether you admit it or not, people’s love for Christmas Jumper (毛衣) around Christmas has increased over recent years. And while you may be less willing to get involved in the Christmas jumper trend, Christmas Jumper Day now enables you to do more with your jumper than build up sweat in an incredibly warm office.
The origin of the Christmas jumper can date back to the late 19th century in the USA. Americans in the 1930s knitted(编织)for Christmas to create an item of clothing to keep them “warm” during the Great Depression when people led a poor and miserable life. They copied the jumpers they saw their favorite stars wearing on the big screen. From the 1950s, it was common to see American families wearing festive jumpers as they sat down to eat their Christmas dinner.
Now, alongside wearing a festive jumper for the fun of it, there are other positive outcomes. Christmas Jumper Day has been set up to stimulate people to make the world better and raise funds for Save the Children by wearing a Christmas jumper and making a minimum donation of
£1. Ladbrokes, a company in the UK, is running a competition in which all you have to do is to take a selfie (自拍) outside of one of their shops while wearing a jumper — the winner will win a good prize and for every submission Ladbrokes will donate£5 to St. Luke’s Hospice charity. For you, it’s a win-win situation.
If you’re still unconvinced that it’s about time you bought yourself a Christmas jumper, then maybe the fact that Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg have all been spotted wearing Christmas jumpers will raise your enthusiasm.

Several years ago, I began asking my friends and family to tell me something about their passwords. Yes, I understand why passwords are universally hated: the pressure they put on our memory and the endless demand to update them. I hate them too. But there is more to passwords than their annoyance. In the fact that we construct them so that we can remember them, they take on secret lives.
There was a former prisoner whose password includes what used to be his prison ID number to constantly tell him not to go back. And there was a childless 45-year-old woman whose password is the name of the baby she lost in her 25 (her way of trying to keep him alive, I guess).
Sometimes the passwords were playful. Several people said they used “incorrect” for theirs so that when they forgot it, the software automatically promoted them with the right one (“your password is incorrect”).
Some passwords were striking for their uniqueness. After reading Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean in: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, Cortni Kerr, a running partner of mine, found her role model and began using “Wwssdol9”, which stood for “What would Sheryl Sandberg do” plus “19” for the year (2019) of the password’s creation. “TnsitTpsif” was the password of another friend, a computer scientist who loves wordplay. It stood for “The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false”. For my friend, it was a playful reference to the knots that language can tie.
The 4622 that my wife used in her passwords was not just the address of her father’s childhood home but also a reminder of his strength. Apparently, when the former 120 kg football standout was a small boy, he had to sing his home address (4622 South 28th West Avenue) in one full breath rather than try to say it normally. Otherwise, his stutter (口吃) would embarrass him.
1.Why did the prisoner use his prison ID number in his password?
A.To rebuild his reputation. B.To remind him to act legally.
C.To fight against his poor memory. D.To hide the unpleasant experience.
2.What did Cortni Kerr think of Sheryl Sandberg’s book?
A.Doubtful. B.Interesting.
C.Creative. D.Inspiring.
3.What might be the best title for the text?
A.The reasons why people hate passwords.
B.The unusual passwords.
C.The secret lives of passwords.
D.The best ways to make your passwords unique.
