This passage is most probably taken from_ Aa textbook Ba film Ca local newspaper Da TV talkCHave you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing , remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things. Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing , people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. ( )52. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things? A. Let their guests be convenient during their travelling. B. Hope their guests use less disposable things. C. Wish their guests to save money. D. Want their guests to use more disposable things. ( )53.

What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school? A. Use shopping bags made of plastic. B. Do not throw away paper cups. C. Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks. D. Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）. ( )56. We can tell from the story that _.A. people don't like disposable things at allB. we can't use paper or plastic bowls at schoolC. we should use less plastic things and protect our environmentD. hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save money.D Everyone has got two personalities(性格) - the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions (睡眠位置). The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep. If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced (影响) by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are s
