1、 阅读短文,回答问题
Understanding the link between the clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Roman times. Today we see how green living has influenced our everyday lives. There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.
Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one's best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.
Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging the same. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought? Instead of buying prepackaged food and goods, those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.
Many people have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy prepackaged foods, Ms Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and make her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda. This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person, but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives.
(1)、Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?A、Bringing a reusable container to take away food. B、Choosing devices that cost less money. C、Turning off a device to stop using power. D、Classifying the garbage before throwing it away.(2)、What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle?A、Recyclable cardboard. B、Excessive packaging. C、Glass jars to store purchases. D、Natural substances in cleaning products.(3)、What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A、How people live a zero waste lifestyle. B、Why Ms Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle. C、It's possible to practise a zero waste lifestyle in Asia. D、It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、Living a Zero Waste Lifestyle B、Going Green Is More Than a Fashion C、A Zero Waste Lifestyle Is Easy to Achieve D、Making Environmentally-conscious Decisions -
