All animals produce waste. We call it awaste/' but we all know it can be very useful. In some parts of the world,animal waste,or poop,is collected,dried,and burned for cooking and heating. 36
The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Center has an unusual way of using animal “waste." The center's 40 pandas produce about two tons of poop a day. This material is being turned into a new product called Panda Poop Paper. 37 After all,paper is made from plant fiber,which cannot be digested and simply goes through the body as waste.
Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo,their “waste” is perfect paper material. 38 Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet,so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper. Once the poop is collected,it is cleaned with chemicals,crushed（碾碎） and put into frames (框架) to dry. 39. Because of its good quality as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda,gift products made from the paper sell well.
40 They got the idea from the elephant dung(大象糞) paper made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai,Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the U.K. sells paper gifts made from sheep waste.
A. It's not so strange!
B. Where does the paper come from?
C. What,s more,pandas have a special advantage.
D. After these steps,it becomes very good,strong paper.
E. But have you ever heard of paper that's made from poop?
F. Farmers have been using animal and human waste for a long time.
G. Surprisingly,the Chinese weren't the first to make paper from aftimal waste.
36. E。根據(jù)文章接下來介紹熊貓的糞便被制作成為紙張可知，盡管大家聽 說過動物糞便的諸多用處，但是你聽 過由糞便制成的紙張嗎？
37. A.根據(jù)下一句中的After a1.paper is made from plant fiber 可知，由于紙 張本來就是由纖維組成的，因此用纖 維含量高的熊貓糞便制作紙張也就不足為奇。
38. C.接下來介紹的“熊貓只能吸收其 所吃的20%,剩余80%富含纖維的食 物都隨糞便排出體外”是熊貓的一個特殊優(yōu)勢。
39. D.根據(jù)上一句中的collectSil ,cleaned,crushed和 dry 可知，經(jīng)過這 些程序后，熊貓的糞便被制作成為非 常好用且結(jié)實的紙張。
40. G；根據(jù)下一句 They got the idea from the elephant-dung paper made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai,Thailand 可知，咱們中齒 不是第一個想到用動物糞便制作紙 張的國家。

Art is everywhere — from the 18-month-old baby who spreads food all over some paper to famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Today,a new artist from Great Britain is making headlines with his glass art. This glass art,beautifiil as it may be,is a bit different.
The sculptor,Luke Jerram,has spent years learning about deadly viruses such as HIV,smallpox,and the H1N1 virus. For over five years,he has studied these tiny killers and is now having them blown in glass. The response to this new art form has been amazing. Beautifully put in milky glass,the viruses shine like crystal(水晶) on mirrored surfaces.These good-looking viruses are actually the greatest killers in human history.
Jerram became interested in the viruses after being introduced to these deadly subjects on TV and in a variety of magazine articles. His discovery path was interesting. He learned viruses are so small that even microscopes (顯微鏡） cannot make out all of their details. He noticed that if he made these viruses one million times bigger^eople could better appreciate them.
Jerram wants people to see these little viruses and better understand the influence they have on human beings. For something so small to kill so many people each year is truly difficult to imagine,Jerram wants us to think about that. During his research,Jerram finds out that even scientists do not fully understand many aspects (方面) of viruses and how they work. He hopes we can find out the answers to many of these questions. He hopes his artwork will help people learn more about these enemies. More importantly,he hopes to inspire future scientists who may be the ones to find cures for these deadly viruses.

The fast development of farming technologies and transportation systems gives people a choice between locally grown foods and imported (進(jìn)口的) foods that are out of season in certain areas. When schools are faced with such a choice,more and more school dining halls are choosing the latter. The vegetables,fish and meat from farther places are much easier to prepare,because they have been washed and processed （加工) -They are sometimes cheaper than foods provided by local farmers. However,if we weigh the advantages and disadvantages,we will find that there are more benefits to using locally grown foods.
Generally,local foods can be said to be healthier than those that are transported from farther places. Foods from distant areas are usually processed or frozen,high in fat and preservatives(防腐劑). No doubt this will have a bad effect on teens health. The problem can be avoided if students are provided with local foods,which are always in season. Every day,local farmers are able to bring their vegetables to schools in several hours.
Locally grown foods represent a way for students to connect to their community(社區(qū)).It's a good chance for students to learn about what foods grow naturally in their area. Students nowadays know little about food production because they have no chance to learn about it. By knowing that the vegetables they are eating are fresh and were grown right down the road,they stay closer to local farms as well as the neighborhood.
Some people are worrying that using locally grown foods is not likely to work for schools in large cities. However,this is not a problem any more. In recent years,urban gardens have appeared in almost every major urban center. They provide many merits for comnumities. Food grown at home and by the people is nearly free. The only cost of it is buying the seeds and water used on the garden. More important is that these gardens provide a chance for people to meet and get to know each other.
Because of these reasons,schools should consider using local foods rather than those that are imoorted.
1. Why do some schools prefer imported foods?
A. They re healthy.
B. They’ re delicious.
C. They’ re time-saving.
D. They* re carefully chosen.
2. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that.
A. there's no market for local foods
B. local foods are good for people's health
C. local foods are usually processed to sell in distant areas
D. the supply of local foods fails to meet the needs of schools
3. The author hopes that students will
A. work in urban gardens
B. visit farms in other areas
C. learn about local farming
D. try to eat more vegetables
4. The uncferlined word “merits” can best be
replaced by.
A. benefits B. choices
C. problems D. jobs
5. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. Whether processed foods are harmful.
B. Whether schools should use local foods.
C. Whether urban gardens are useful in large cities.
D. Whether foods should be offered to distant areas.
