rubbish that it was a world-wide problem. They asked their teacher if they could do something to help solve the problem. It is a very big problem，” the teacher said，?? but if every community helps, that would really make a difference.
The students decided to set up a program called Saturday Recycling Center. They would collect rubbish and then
get it to a place. The students used the Internet to find out more about recycling in Chicago. They found that there are 15 “drop off” places, where people can bring rubbish to get it recycled.
The students had to work out how to get the rubbish to the place. They
went to talk with the leader of the church (教堂) near their school. They knew that he drove a van. They asked him to help with their plan.
The churchman agreed to help. He said he would pick up the rubbish on the first Saturday of each month. So
everything was organized. All the students needed was rubbish to recycle.
The students made posters to put in stores in the neighborhood. The churchman advertised the new recycling
program at the church service. The community center put a note about the recycling center in fheir monthly newsletter. The students went into the other classrooms at their school and asked children to tell their families about the Saturday recycling.
The first Saturday was beyond their expectations. In fact, they got so much rubbish that the churchman had to
make two trips to take it all to the ??drop off?? place. Now most people in the community know the first Saturday is the time to recycle.

rides a bike and likes playing with his Xbox. But Auggie has deformities (崎形) of the face and looks very different from other children. At the start of the book, he tells us ??My name is August.

to France, this can be very convenient. I can ring my sister who lives in Los Angeles on Viber, or I can Skype my parents or friends back in England for a chat. However, sometimes the convenience and dependability of technology can be intrusive.
Even the most out-going people sometimes need some “down time” to calm down on their own and get relaxed.
This is something that I consider necessary and healthy. After all, you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life, so you?d better know how to enjoy your own company. It can be a good thing to have time to yourself to collect your thoughts and free yoiir feelings. Today I went for a walk by myself around the lake and just day-dreamed. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and helped me let go of my bad emotions.
However, somehow it seems rude or perhaps makes people feel that youVe upset to say to people: “I?m going to go
and spend some time by myself.?? And often when we are spending time ?alone?，we are actually connected with a piece of electrical equipment. We try to make something into a Facebook or a Tweet to attract our friends, or we scroll (滚屏) through Facebook nosing into other people?s lives or seeing what friends are up to. We judge ourselves and other people by the photos they put online, so we can tell how muchfun they are having compared to us. This is an age when we can get so much surface information about other people?s lives, but being wrapped(包裹) up in what other people are doing or always thinking about other people?s recognition (认可) of us can be quite unhealthy. Perhaps these days we forget about the simple pleasure of spending time just for us.
Having said all that, I also think that spending too much time by yourself can separate you from others. I suppose it
is important to find a good balance between spending valuable time by yourself and with other people. 52. What does the underlined word “intrusive” probably mean?
8
A. Interruptive. B. Helpful. C. Unsatisfactory. D. Important.
