【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 g else entirely: me. A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home, stick her long, strawlike tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill, shell fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her coworkers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the b. Then she and her 50 000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4, 000 flowers, and yet will produce only onetwelfth of a tea spoon of me. The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally—I never go bad. Alas, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit I39。d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much—to you, to me—without ever asking for anything in return.（1）What does me refer to in the passage?

The world39。s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic. Now, that may be changing. A new environmentallyfriendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones. Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an Americanbased recycling pany. Its chief, Tom Szaky told the Associated Press (AP) that removing plastics from the ocean is not enough. He said the point is to get away from singleuse packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it es from an idea of the past. He pared it to the milkman model of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zerowaste. Jennifer Morgan from the environmental nonprofit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that Greenpeace weles the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability. But Morgan questioned whether panies worldwide are ready to change their business models. Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern . states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the .
