If you want a full cup, say no room. Read the list above the counter ahead of time, because they may not ask you which you would like. 5..

    Elephant, horse and cow wastes could be endless sources for a key element needed to make paper. It is good news for some nations where trees are scarce while animal wastes come in especially handy.

The idea for the unusual use of elephant and cow wastes first came to mind when researcher Dr Alexander Bismarck noticed something strange about goat wastes while vacationing in Greece. He observed some goats eating summer-dry grass and came to an interesting conclusion about what they digest.

Dr Bismarck said “I realized what comes out in the end is partially digested plant matter so there must be cellulose (纤维素)there". Animals eat dry grass containing cellulose, chew it and digest it in their stomach and then produce wastes. Up to 40 percent of those wastes are cellulose, which is easily accessible. Therefore, making paper from the partially digested            material would take much less energy than using raw wood. Additionally, it would require fewer chemical treatments.

This supply of raw material is plenty parks in Africa that are home to hundreds of elephants produce tons of wastes every day, and enormous cattle farms in the US and Europe produce mountains of wastes.

In order to make paper, the material must be processed with a special method. But it requires little because there is no need to break it down into small parts for use in paper, in contrast to conventional methods which need a lot of energy to break down wood.

Using wastes, we can reduce the number of steps needed in papermaking, simply because the animal already chewed the plant and attacked it with acid in their stomachs. You inexpensively produce a paper staff that has the same or even better properties than that from wood, with lower energy and chemical consumption.

1.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?

A.The observation of goat wastes. B.The usage of animal wastes.

C.The origin of the unusual idea. D.The vacation spent in Greece.

2.Animal wastes can be used to make paper mainly because ________.

A.they will never run out B.they are easy to access

C.they are partly digested D.they contain much cellulose

3.What is the advantage of making paper from animal wastes?

A.It is more profitable. B.It is energy-saving.

C.It needs less material. D.It fits all parts of the world.

4.What is the probable explanation of the underlined word “attack"?

A.Treat. B.Mix.

C.Clean. D.Protect.

    Even if you’ve never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place: It’s hot. But that doesn't stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-mile trek (跋涉) to the top of the city’s famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is “extremely difficult”. If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you keep climbing, another sign farther up declares; “If you’re halfway through your water turn around!”

Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to the warnings. Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old man hikes up and down Camelback a couple of times a day giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. I’d like a more manly name, but, you know, he told azfamily, com.

Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by Arizona’s unforgiving version of Mother Nature. “They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble,” he told the Arizona Republic. If a hiker has a red face and is not sweating anymore, Cullymore reaches into his insulated (隔热的) backpack, pulls out a frosty bottle, and hands it to the person. “It’s misleading that we’re in the middle of the city. You can die up here, and no one would know.”

One hiker who received Cullymore’s water agrees. “You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket,” he said, pointing to Cullymore, “but we are lucky, we run into this good man here.” And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.

1.What is the purpose of the signs along the hike way?

A.To show the trek is difficult. B.To warn hikers to take enough water.

C.To frighten people to give up. D.To avoid hikers getting lost.

2.What does Scott Cullymone think of his nickname?

A.It’s womanish. B.It’s manly.

C.It’s ironic, D.It’s appropriate.

3.Who will Scott offer his help to?

A.Anybody he meets. B.Those in the middle of the trek.

C.Anyone in need of water. D.Those who sweat a lot.

4.What can be the best title of this text?

A.A Desert-Like Mountain B.Fighting against Heat

C.Necessities for Hiking D.Water Angel
