A banana skin can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and a third of drivers confess they li
18、tter while driving, thats a lot of thrown banana skin. An orange skin and a cigarette butt (烟蒂) have similar biodegrading (生物降解) time to that of a banana skin, but tin cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles. Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials wil
19、l serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we cant measure the danger of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette- related litter is thrown in the UK every day. Its not a chea
20、p habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers 500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to 1 billion. So, its not surprising that if caught throwing rubbish, you could face a 20,000 fine or even prison time and, if you threw something dangerous, the cou
21、rt could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how serious these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules. 24.

24、rm readers of different biodegrading terms. C. To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags. D. To attach significance to good behavior. C I was talking recently with my mom when our conversation reminded me of an interesting story. “This is very funny,” I said. “One time I was diving with my fiend
25、 Rudy.” My mom cut me off impatiently. “Ive heard this one before, honey,” she said. “You dont need to tell it again.” Storytelling is a signal of faith (信任) in the relationship. When we share our personal experiences, we also share something about our values, our history, our outlook on life. But t
26、he benefits of storytelling only work if youre good at itmany of us are not. We fail to pay attention to our audience, ignoring them when they become bored, angry or confused. And we often throw in every detail we find interesting, no matter how irrelevant (不相干). People who repeat the same stories o
27、ver and over are considered as less sincere. We also find that listeners are less interested in getting along with someone retelling a story theyve heard him or her tell before. We tend to think these storytellers arent presenting themselves truly. Good storytellers use their voice to express strong
28、 feelings, which show they really care about the story. Impressive stories that make people laugh or feel moved, touched or angry have the most impact. “ If it causes a reaction in you, its likely to cause a reaction in your audience,” mom says.

Zoos, especially the ones that are doing everything right, become a headache for t
33、he animal rights activists. Zoo supporters argue that they save endangered species and educate the public, but many animal rights activists believe the costs are more than the benefits, and the violation(违反) of the rights of the individual animals is unreasonable. Roadside zoos, petting zoos, and sm
34、aller animal exhibitors tend to offer narrow space for the animals, keeping them in pens or cages. Sometimes, a tiger or bear will live with cold concrete(混凝土)and metal bars for their entire lives. Larger, trusted zoos try to avoid these operations by offering excellent treatment to the animals. How
35、ever, to animal rights activists, the problem is not how well the animals are treated, but whether we have a right to limit (限制)them for our delight or “education”. To zoo supporters, by bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and promote an appreciation of the animals, encoura
36、ging people to protect the animals. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers(偷猎者), habitat loss, hunger, and predators(捕食者).
