2011-2012年九年级英语期中试题（外研版）

rubbish.

The UK is one of the worst recyclers in Europe. In other words, in the UK they’re recycling only about 8% of their everyday waste. That’s much less than many other countries. Germany recycles 10%, while Japan recycles 40%. The government has set a goal of recycling 30% of their everyday waste by the year 2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it. As we know, some habits are difficult to change and some collection plans are expensive to carry out.

At present, the movement called Recycle Now in the UK tries to change that situation. The Top designer Oliver Heath is a strong fan of the movement. In 2005 he designed the first home built completely from recycled things, including metal cans and glass bottles. “It always makes me excited when I make good use of those recycled things,” he said, “Maybe in the near future, you can also make something from recycled computer printers, plastic bags, bottle tops or CDs.” When his story was reported on TV, more and more people begin to try his ideas.

Some local governments have set up recycling centers where it’s easy for

families to take their empty bottles and old newspapers. Instead of throwing away the so-called rubbish, some families start doing more about it.

With the effort of the whole country, we are happy to see some progress in some places in the UK.
