could get your friend back.

五.任务型阅读：请认真阅读下面的信，然后根据信息卡内的要求填入相关信息，每空限填一词(共10小题，每小题1分，计10分)

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waster every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.

Remember these three words; reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环使用).

Reduce means" use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse mean" use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup(瓷杯) and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle means" change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Title: 56 to Live a Green Life

We produce waste every day and it is 57 for us. We can do something to help.

Ideas Do Don’t

To 58 Use less

*Try to save something *Don’t buy too many things from foreign. 59

To reuse Use 60

*Use things for us long as possible.

*Buy things that last long.

*Take care of things or 61 the old things. Don’t use 62 cups or bags.

To recycle Change things into something 63 .

*Join in recycling programmes.

*Buy 64 made from recycled materials. Don’t 65 things away or burn them.
