Plastic bags that end up in oceans and beaches are harmful to fish, birds, and other animals. As a result, cities and states have been trying for years to find a way to get people to cut back on using plastic bags. This year, New York City was prepared to add a 5cent tax on the use of paper or plastic bags in store, but Governor Andrea Cuomo signed a law that blocked（反對(duì)） the tax Cuomo said the tax idea was“ deeply faulty” because it would have allowed store owners to keep the money from the tax instead of putting it toward environmental efforts. Cuomo announced plans to create a task force to look into the plasticbag problem. By the end of the year, the task force may suggest a statewide ban of plastic bags, a tax on them, or something entirely new. Several cities around the country have either banned plastic bags or charged a fee for their use. In Washington ., the charge is 5 cents per bag. Since the fee started there, the number of plastic bags on the streets and waterways dropped by 60%. Seattle, Washington, has banned plastic carryout bags and charges a minimum of 5 cents for paper.

I heard a noise in the kitchen and discovered that it was mom. She couldn39。t sleep either and had gotten up to make herself a cup of hot tea which made her feel better. As she waited for the water to boil， she walked into the living room and discovered me there. She saw my open Bible and asked me what I was reading. When I told her， she asked if I would read it to her and I did. When the kettle began to whistle， she went and made her tea. She came back. I told her how happy I was that she was with us for Christmas and how I wished that dad could have lived to see his grandchildren and to enjoy this time because he always loved Christmas so much. It got very quiet for a moment and then she said， “ Do you remember that time on Twelve Mile Road when you bought that tree with your paper route money? ” “Yes,” I said, “ I39。ve just been thinking about it you know.” She hesitated for a long moment， as though something was bottled up so deeply inside her soul that it might take surgery to get it out. Finally， great tears rolled down her face and she cried， “ Oh, son, please five me. That time and that Christmas have been a burden on my heart for twentyfive years. I wish your dad were here so I could tell him how sorry I am for what I said.” 32. How many children did the author have? A. Two. B. One. C. Four. D. Three. 33.
