17、as Cafe.The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they dont necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sus
18、tainable building material. Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion(比例)of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used agai
19、n and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications. The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if th
20、is plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society? Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materia

So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations? Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reprod
22、ucible on an industrial scale. I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings.
23、 So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.8Whats peoples common belief about plastic recycling?AAlmost all plastic waste can be reused.BThe methods are quite limited.CNot many kinds of plastics are recyclable.DThe amo

35、 future._16_Some goals in our life are clear, simple and easy. For example, to make a homemade dinner every Sunday is such a type of goal for me. To achieve it, I only need to create a list of supplies to buy and set aside time in my schedule. _17_ In terms of these goals, I love the idea of “lighth
36、ouse planning”. In this technique, we reach a goal by imagining it as a lighthouse in the distance. Its dark as we get in our boats and we dont know exactly how were going to get to that bright destination. But our lighthouse never stops flashing in the distance and it is never entirely out of sight
37、. _18_Now think about your lighthouse and identify it._19_ For example, you might set your goal as “I want to become more creative”. Identifying your lighthouse is a way to start your journey with big purposes. But if you look around and realize that your lighthouse is getting farther away rather th
38、an closer, you should redirect your path to your lighthouse _20_ If youve ever rowed a boat, you know there can be headwinds and storms along your journey. In that case, focus on the next spot on the horizon instead of powering through all the way to the end.AJust give it a try.BDont wear yourself o
