Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy ets(封星) or planets which hit into Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge(海綿). This suggested that Earth39。s water might have e from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn39。t happen very often. When it does, it39。s amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced(彈起) away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. (1)Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________. A.they preferred to learn by themselvesB.they needed standard ways of teachingC.their teachers didn39。t like their new ideasD.their teachers weren39。t able to teach them(2)In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________. A.we should get answers from factsB.we can believe what we are taughtC.it39。s hard to make others believe somethingD.an expectation can help get an answer in research(3)The example of Philae in Lesson 3 shows that________. A.Comet 67P was not far away from EarthB.it took Philae2o years to reach Comet 67PC.Philae landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD.scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P(4)The best title for this passage is_____.

So, a zerowaste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasantlooking zerowaste products to help people start on a zerowaste life journey. Zero waste or danshari was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish。 use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of oneoff objects。 giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross. Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to buy things without thinking about them carefully until she saw a video about zero waste, in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar (罐). After watching the video, Yu wanted to experience this zerowaste lifestyle with her boyfriend. A zerowaste life follows the 6R ruleRefuse Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Over AugustOctober when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish. Now, the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmentally friendly logos(環(huán)保標志). Most products sold in the store can be reused. The store also has secondhand books and CDs/DVDs with, ideas to make the best of the used things. Those who once experienced the nonwaste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,
