Many agr
20、eed and his request made ripples (涟漪) nationwide. The restaurants that make the switch report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.The anti - straw sentiment has crossed borders into the UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban ail plastic waste by 2

27、ldren who desperately need more support.

36、0,000 people die on U. S. roads every year, and driver errors are linked to more than 90 percent of crashes.

The average American now spends about 48 minutes in a car every day, a sizable opportunity for increased cellphone use.So as the public conversation around au

46、nd music have a writing system.In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 37 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences
47、through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. 38 You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use.
