A year ago，I decided to create a more environmentally friendly kitchen，focusing on reducing the single-use products such as plastic bags and paper towels.I'm not going to sugarcoat my experience.It takes commitment and a willingness to change long-held habits.In creating my kitchen，I tried a lot of different alternative products and some plain old common sense.The result，however，has been worth the effort.I'm recycling more and relying less on single-use products and I'm saving money too.
   I'm not kidding when I say that I used to really love plastic storage bags，so this was，perhaps，the biggest challenge for me.Switching to reusable storage bags is a financial investment，but the cost is reasonable considering that I previously spent at least ＄100 annually on single-use plastic bags and wrap.I will check online periodically for recycling updates，where a zero-waste box for kitchen items is offered，from party supplies to mixed-material food containers.
   I'm a clean freak（怪人）and used to go through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis，but it's easy enough to take old T-shirts or towels and cut them up to use to wipe down surfaces.I'm also a fan of bamboo paper towels，which have the look and feel of traditional paper towels，yet are made from a highly renewable source and also break down in just 45 days.Better yet，they can be reused up to 100 times.As for kitchen sponges（海綿擦），I keep an eye out for those made with natural and recyclable materials.
   When purchasing household items online from companies like Amazon or Jet，I will ask to have them shipped in as few boxes as possible or as small a box as possible if a single item is to be sent.I'll let the company know that they should pay more attention to how it is packaging items for delivery.

  • 1．Sidney Keys，14-year-old，has started a youth-led book club program，with the support and help of his mom，to help empower both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature.
       Keys' idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles. "I used to have a really bad stutter and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it，" Sidney Keys，the founder of the book club Books N Bros said. "Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine things and play out all the events clearly." He said， "I wanted to start up Books N Bros so that I could talk to other people，especially boys，about books I love in a relaxing way because it's like a brotherhood."
       The reading club that he started at just 10 years old now has over 250"bros"aged 7 to 13 from the U.S.and Canada，most of whom are changing actively and positively.Marvel's Hero Project，which reveals the remarkable，positive change young men make in their communities across the country and turns them into superheroes，selected Keys to be featured in the Disney series.
       "I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me，but now I see a comic book with me in it，" Keys said delightedly. "It's really awesome，especially when I hear my friends and teachers call me my superhero name at school."
       As for the future of Books N Bros，Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country. "Getting Books N Bros in schools across America，we don't want transportation to be an issue for getting that physical brotherhood and bond.It just benefits so many people，and it keeps me going，" Keys explained.

  • 3．At 1，345 meters above sea level，Ben Nevis is definitely not the world's most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels，especially if you're a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
       Ben Conway，a 19-year-old art student from London，recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m.，on June 27，and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen，a friend from his art foundation year，who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn't the smoothest experience.
       Halfway up Ben Navis，one of his shoes broke，so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn't make it easy for him either，as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time，and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions，Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.
       Apart from providing a unique art school application project，the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes，like Sal's Shoes，which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
       "Raising money for charity brings happiness to people's lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness，then that's what it's all about"，Ben said.

    （1）What can replace the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 1？

    A．Pleasant.
    B．Boring.
    C．Tough.
    D．Smooth.
    （2）Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben？

    A．To prove nothing is impossible.
    B．To record a special experience.
    C．To promote their friendship.
    D．To assist in Ben's application.
    （3）What does Paragraph 3 focus on？

    A．The difficulties in the climb.
    B．The climbing route.
    C．The terrible weather.
    D．The unexpected incident.
    （4）What can best describe Ben's story？

    A．Puzzling.
    B．Inspiring.
    C．Exciting.
    D．Frightening.
