According to a report, over 22,000 plastic bottles in the world are thrown away every second, and the number is still growing. Most plastic waste goes to the oceans, and it is often eaten by fish and birds. It is harmful to their health.

Robert Bezeau, a man from Canada, is building a village with plastic bottles. The amazing village, is deep in the jungles in Panama. There will be 120 houses in the village, and each house needs thousands of bottles.

Before Robert came up with the creative idea in 2015, he had lived in the country for many years. One day, he notices there were so many plastic bottles on the beautiful beach. Then he decided to do something to make a difference to the environment.

Building the Plastic Bottle Village is a very smart idea to turn plastic waste into houses, and the oceans will be cleaner. What’s more, the houses are green and eco-friendly(环保的). The bottles can help keep the home at a comfortable temperature, so there is no need to use expensive energy for air conditioning in hot weather. Now Robert plans to create an education center. He wants to teach people from all over the world how to reuse plastic bottles. 76.How many plastic bottles are thrown away every second?

Meet Thomas Wilson. Thomas is famous all over the world. He holds the world record for sleeping in (睡过头). One weekend, Thomas slept in for two days, three hours and fourteen minutes. It was unbelievable. No one in history had ever slept in for so long before.

Thomas was very proud of his world record. His friends were proud of him, too. Whenever Thomas walked down the street, people always came up to him and shook his hand. Thomas was a star.

The on]y who wasn't proud of Thomas's world record was his father. Dad didn't like it when Thomas slept in. He complained that whenever Thomas slept in, the lawns didn't get mowed (割草). He was worried about how high the grass was getting. Every weekend, it seemed to get higher and higher. “It's like a jungle there,” Dad moaned (抱怨) to Thomas one day. But Thomas wasn't worried about the grass getting higher. He had more important things on his mind—like sleeping in.

One morning, Thomas was woken from a deep sleep by a loud roaring noise. It sounded like a wild animal pacing about under his bedroom window.

Thomas rushed over to the window and pulled the curtains back. His eyes bulged like basketballs. “What on Earth…?” He gasped. There, in the middle of the backyard, was a lion! “Awesome! (可怕的)” cried Thomas. Suddenly, a giraffe poked its head through the window. It munched the leaves from a plant sitting by Thomas's bed. Next, an elephant walked past the swimming pool and squirted (喷出) water all over Dad's car! “Cool!” cheered Thomas. “Now I don't have to wash Dad's car today.” (选自《新理念英语》9A第一册) 76.What is Thomas famous for?

77.How long did Thomas sleep in one weekend?

A student asked his teacher,” What is Greed?”(贪婪) The teacher said, “In order to answer your question, go through the chocolate factory next to our school and pick the one chocolate you like the most. But there is a rule. As you pass through the factory, you can not turn back. You must pick the chocolate as you go forward only.”

The student went to the chocolate factory. As he walked through, He saw one chocolate wrapped (包装)nicely, he really liked it but he thought that he may find much bigger one further. So, He walked further, then he saw another chocolate. But again, he thought the same. When he started to reach near the end of the factory, he couldn’t see any chocolates as big as the one he didn’t pick earlier and started to regret（后悔） his decision of letting it go.

Finally, he gave up. He went back to the teacher with an empty hand and gave an explanation of what he did.

The teacher told him, You did like the one chocolate very much but still you kept looking for a bigger one. And later you realized that what you let go off was the best chocolate you could find there. That is called Greed.

In our life, we let go many good things because of our greed of having even better ones. This is human nature: We always want something better and better. But we let go of many good things which can give us similar satisfaction and make us happy. Learn to make your choice wisely. (NO MORE THAN SIX WORDS)

China's \"four great new inventions (发明) \"in modern times have made the daily life of the public more and more convenient (便利的) .They are the high-speed railway( HSR) shopping online,shared bikes and mobile phone payment.

I was shocked (震惊的) at its speed and quietness. There was no noise which the train made while running. It was reported that China has the longest high-speed railway in the world, which is

regarded as a\"name card\"for China.

China's HSR has also gone abroad. In 2014, China finished building its first foreign high-speed rail in Turkey. In June 2015, China and Russia agreed to build the 770 km of high-speed railway connecting Moscow and Kazan. In October2015, China helped Indonesia to build a high-speed rail between Jakarta and Bandung.

Did I feel bored during the trip on the train? Not at all. I bought many cheap and good things in Taobao and Tmall on the Internet through my mobile phone.It's amazing that there are oceans of products (产品) in Taobao and Tmall.

Soon we arrived in Beijing. We got on a bus near the train station. After getting off the bus, my friend told me that the bus stop is far from his home. I thought we would have to spend much money going to his home on a taxi. but it seemed that he wasn’t worried about that. He showed me some bikes on the side of the street. They are called shared bikes. We only need to use our mobile phones to scan the QuickResponse code(二维码) on shared bikes, then we could ride the bikes anywhere we wanted to go. It was so cool !
