52.完成表格:閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容,完成表格中所缺的信息。 As teenagers,changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer,or finding the origin(起源)of humanity,but recycling a piece of paper as well.Going Green is a practical way that teenagers can have a real and meaningful influence in the world.The following are three simple ways teenagers can go green and change the world. Recycle According to an online article,63 million newspapers go out to street vendors(攤販)or local paper boys every day and of those 44 million are thrown away.Recycling the Sunday newspapers alone we could save half a million trees a week.The age of technology creates new phones,iPods,or new computers.Many people will stand in line for hours to get their hands on the new piece of technology,but what happens with the old ones?Nothing.According to Earth 911,about 75% of the old devices(設(shè)備)are thrown in the back of a drawer collecting dust. Go vegetarian(素食主義)one day a week Here are some amazing facts on going vegetarian for only one day.According to Noam Mohr,a physicist at the New York University,the United States would save 100 billion gallons of water which is enough to offer all homes in New England for about 4 months.The Environmental Defense concludes with the most interesting fact:if the whole population gives up one meal of chicken,the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated(累積的)would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off U.S.roads.So giving up just one day of eating meat is worth the advantages it could bring. Don't drink too much bottled water There is a common idea that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water.However,25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water which goes through a filter (過(guò)濾).Bottled water companies do not need to list where they got the water from,how they clean the water,or what chemicals their plastic water bottles have.Plastic bottles do not get recycled 90% of the time which results in 1.5 million tons of plastic in landfills which are not easy to decompose (分解) .In fact,after considering that bottled water and tap water have few differences,people should use more reusable water bottles. Just keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed (堅(jiān)定的) citizens can change the world.Indeed,it's the only thing that ever has."
